The black eagle

One day or maybe one night
Near a lake, I fell asleep
When suddenly, it seemed to pierce the sky
And coming from nowhere appeared a black eagle
 
Slowly, with its spreaded wings,
Slowly, I saw it twirling
Near me rustling its wings
As if it fell from the sky the bird came and landed.
 
Its eyes had the colour of ruby
And its wings had the colour of the night
On its sparkling forehead
The crowned bird wore a blue diamond
 
with its beak It touched my cheek ,
into my hand it slipped its neck .
Then I recognized it
Looming up from the past, it came back to me.
 
Oh tell me Bird, take me away
Let's go back to our old land,
Like before in my childish dreams,
to pick up, shivering, some stars, some stars.
 
Like before in my childish dreams
Like before on a white cloud
Like before to lit up the sun,
Be a rain-maker and make marvels.
 
The black eagle , rustling its wings,
Flew off to reach back the sky.
 
Four feathers having the colour of the night
One teardrop or maybe a ruby
I was cold, there was nothing left for me
The bird left me alone with my sorrow.
 
One day or was it one night
Near a lake, I fell asleep
When suddenly, it seemed to pierce the sky
And coming from nowhere
Appeared a black eagle.
