Green Finch and linnet bird
(From "Sweeney Todd")
翻唱：冷萧晓阁
Green finch and linnet bird
Nightingale blackbird
How is it you sing
How can you jubilate Sitting in cages
Never taking wing
Outside the sky waits
Beckoning beckoning
Just beyond the bars
How can you remain Staring at the rain
Maddened by the stars
How is it you sing
Anything
How is it you sing
Green finch and linnet bird
Nightingale blackbird
How is it you sing
Whence comes this melody constantly flowing
Is it rejoicing or merely halloing
Are you discussing or fussing
Or simply dreaming
Are you crowing
Are you screaming
Ringdove and robinet
Is it for wages
Singing to be sold
Have you decided it's safer in cages
Singing when you're told
My cage has many rooms
Damask and dark
Nothing there sings
Not even my lark
Larks never will you know
When they're captive
Teach me to be more adaptive
Ah
Green finch and linnet bird
Nightingale blackbird
Teach me how to sing
If I cannot fly
Let me sing
