What cares the bird?

this is another translation experiment.

it was written by the amazing playwrite, and poet Hanoch Levine.

++++++++++++++++

tall is the tree, and verdant green ,

briny is the ocean, and deep.

if the ocean’s so deep, what cares the tree?

what cares the ocean, that the tree is so green?

tall is the tree, and verdant green,

beauty is the bird, she shall fly a-far

if the bird shall take wing, what cares the tree?

what cares the bird, that the tree is so green?

briny is the ocean, the ocean so deep,

beauty is the bird, she shall fly a-far,

if the bird shall take wing, what cares the ocean?

what cares bird, If the ocean’s deep?

man sings songs, ’cause the tree is green,

man sings songs, ’cause the ocean is deep,

if the bird shall take wing, He won’t sing any more songs,

what cares the bird, if he sings or stays mute?
