Translation
Bilingual
They say not far away, in fact upon that hill
They say that there's a little girl there still
She wasn't raised like the other kids
This then the Snow Hen of Asterlids
The mother is blind and keeps some birds as pets
But her baby is a human she forgets
In a tiny wire pen that little girl still sits
This then the Snow Hen of Asterlids
She must be ten or eleven now
I heard she's pretty but she don't have all her wits
She is the Snow Hen of Asterlids
Not having really neither wings nor beak
She never learned to walk or speak
To the child the mother never said a word
To communicate instead of her she chirps like a bird
All the birds around they talk a little bird language
When she's not understood she starts to get real angry
So she waves her hands around just like they were her wings
But when she's happy you should hear her sing
Leave her cage door open
And see how far she gets
She's known as the Snow Hen of Asterlids
Kept like a pet in old tin coop
The mother didn't beat her and she gave her food
Still pitiful, no care shown but is
The life of the Snow Hen of Asterlids
A skinny thing with blue blacks like bones
With the wind in the trees or the snowlands moans
From perch to perch and that hatch she flits
This then the Snow Hen of Asterlids
She is the Snow Hen of Asterlids
She's known as the Snow Hen of Asterlids
She is the Snow Hen of Asterlids
She's known as the Snow Hen of Asterlids
