Oumaima El Khalil - Sparrow

عصفور طل من الشباك
وقال لي يا نونو
خبيني عندك خبيني
دخلك يا نونو

قلت له إنت من وين
قال لي من حدود السما
قلت له جايي من وين
قال لي من بيت الجيران

قلت له خايف من مين
قال لي من القفص هربان
قلت له ريشاتك وين
قال لي فرفطها الزمان

A sparrow stood from my window and begged me, “Hide me Nunu (little one).”

I asked him, “Where are you from?” He told me, “From the boundaries of the sky.” I asked him, “Where did you come from?” He told me, “From the neighbors house.”

I asked him, “What are you afraid of?” He told me, “I escaped from the cage.” I asked him, “Where are your feathers?” He told me, “Fate blew them away.”

This is possibly one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard. Thanks to sharquaouia and harpy.
