Wings

If I had two wings
I'd fly around
In the tree by your house I'd build myself a nest
I'd build myself a nest
Every morning, I'd pick you a rose
I'd pick you a rose
And I'd lay them beneath your feet
Beneath your feet
 
I was once a bird
With two colorful wings
But my life was short, my life was short
 
I'll hide myself
Between two pages of your journal
So whenever you search the book
Of your longings, you'll find me there
 
If I were a shining star
I'd brighten the darkest nights
I'd illuminate your life with my glow
 
I was once a bird
With two colorful wings
But my life was short, my life was short
 
I'll hide myself
Between two pages of your journal
So whenever you search the book
Of your longings, you'll find me there
 
If I had two wings
I'd fly around
In the tree by your house I'd build myself a nest
I'd build myself a nest
Every morning, I'd pick you a rose
I'd pick you a rose
And I'd lay them beneath your feet
Beneath your feet
 
I was once a bird
With two colorful wings
But my life was short, my life was short
 
I'll hide myself
Between two pages of your journal
So whenever you search the book
Of your longings, you'll find me there
 
If I were a shining star
I'd brighten the darkest nights
I'd illuminate your life with my glow
 
I was once a bird
With two colorful wings
But my life was short, my life was short
 
I'll hide myself
Between two pages of your journal
So whenever you search the book
Of your longings, you'll find me there

Hi Nicolas,
I was wondering if you’d be willing to translate some other songs by Evin if you get the chance. I want to put them on your radar, so I’d greatly appreciate you translating and transliterating into English these songs:

-Le Hamenin
-Shabiba
-Dookhroonia
-mischeena
-khloola (there’s a transliteration for this one on here, but I’m not sure if it’s complete)
-Elchi
-aineh koomeh
-isri sheneh
-khaverta
-I won’t say
-mitra beraya
-forgotten gift
-what else do you want

There’s no particular order I’d like them to be translated in, but providing the Assyrian text for each song would also be helpful, as I’m hoping to improve my Assyrian reading skills.

Thank you for your insightful lyrical contributions thus far.
