1.
I hear the sky calling -
It"s crying, then singing,
The time has come to spread my wings.
I"m setting off for my final,
My farewell flight,
Shaking the dust from my feathers.

Chorus:
Now I"m a lonely bird,
It"s time for me to fly home.
Now I"m a lonely bird,
And nothing bad will happen to me.

2.
I hear the stars singing,
I"ll awake from my dreams,
And soar above this weary vale,
Above the yawning dark,
I"ll fly toward my home,
Where the sky is vast and free.

Chorus:
Now I"m a lonely bird,
It"s time for me to fly home.
Now I"m a lonely bird,
And nothing bad will happen to me.

3.
I lived like the rest -
A pitiful slave,
Now I"m old, my strength is fading.
I"ll forget earthly cares,
Leave my rusted things to the dust,
No more needs, no more labor.

Chorus:
Now I"m a lonely bird,
It"s time for me to fly home.
Now I"m a lonely bird,
And nothing bad will happen to me.

4.
I"ll forget my children,
My family, my friends -
All behind me, lost forever.
At last I"m flying away
From the planet of men,
Never again to return.

Chorus:
Now I"m a lonely bird,
It"s time for me to fly home.
Now I"m a lonely bird,
And nothing bad will happen to me.

5.
Let the Earth disappear
Far behind my wings,
I"m off on my final flight.
I"ll forget all the pain,
And let time stand still,
Freed from the threads of human fate.

Chorus:
Now I"m a lonely bird,
It"s time for me to fly home.
Now I"m a lonely bird,
And nothing bad will happen to me.
