English Translation
Blackbird of Silken Wings
Blackbird of silken wings
And golden beak and silver tongue
Will you go form e to Cydweli
To ask how my love
is.
One, two, three things are difficult form me;
Counting the stars when it’s freezing,
Placing my hand
so that I can touch the moon
And understanding the mind of my loved one.
