Canary Canary - Jane Birkin, Yosui Inoue

Sorry songs, saddest sound that I heard

Beautiful pitiful little bird

You can lay words of love on a page

But you can’t lock her love in cage

Canaria canaria

Canaria canaria

Canaria canaria

Sorry songs, saddest sound that I heard

Desperate desolate little bird

Love can shine in the night like the stars

But you can’t keep its light behind bars

Canaria canaria

Canaria canaria

Canaria canaria

Did she love all the mirrors and the clouds we cannot cross?

She did

Did she love the fragility of flowers and the birds?

She did

Did she love the freedom of an ending love?

Who can say?

Sorry songs, saddest sound that I heard

Lonely and lonelier little bird

You’re aware, though your arms are her jail

That some day one will pay for the bail

Canaria canaria

Canaria canaria

Sorry songs, saddest sound that I heard

Miserable, mistreated little bird

You can lay words of love on a page

But you can’t lock her love in a cage

Canaria canaria

Canaria canaria

Did she love the passage of clouds in the front doorway?

She did

Did she love the fragility of flowers and the birds?

She did

Did she love the freedom of an ending love?

Who can say?
