Jens Bjrneboe - Song of the Bird Lovers Lyrics

Nothing is as guiltless as our lovely feathered friends.
We will not be happy until hunting of them ends.
Birds, we love them ardently,
Let them fly forever free!
Just listen to their chirping and twittering on high!
For their safety and protection we would gladly die.
Let their hearts be light and gay,
Free and safe in every way!

Swallows flying in the sky and seagulls on the sea,
Sparrows in the meadow and magpies in a tree!
Eagle, hawk, and peregrine,
Buzzard, kite and vulture's kin!
Birds are sweet and kind, but man is mean and full of hate.
Anyone who kills a bird will earn a tragic fate!
Buzzard, kite and vulture's kin,
Eagle, hawk, and peregrine!
