Uf Gozal - Fly Little One

Words: Arik Einstein

Music: Miki Gabrielov

Translated by Mark Hurvitz 16 August, 2001

 

My little ones have left the nest.

They've spread their wings and flown.

And I'm an old bird, I've remained in the nest.

I deeply hope that everything will be OK.

 

I always knew this day would come.

That they would need to separate.

But, now, it has come upon me suddenly.

So, what's the surprise that I worry a bit.

 

 

chorus:

Fly my little one,

Open the sky.

Fly to whatever comes to you.

But don't forget,

There are eagles in the sky.

... beware.

 

 

Now, we remain alone in the nest.

But, at least, we're together.

Hug me tight, tell me "Yes,"

"Don't worry, it is good to get old together."

 

chorus

 

 

I know that this is the way it is in nature.

And, that I, also, left the nest.

But now, that the moment has come,

So, it catches me, a bit, in the throat.

It catches me, a bit, in the throat.
