It was five o'clock in the morning
We were moving through the marshes
Covered in mist
I had my rifle in my hands
A sparrow was gaining altitude
In the distance
The eager dogs walked ahead
In the reeds

Over the pond
Suddenly I saw
The wild geese passing by
They were heading
Southward
To the Mediterranean

A flock of partridges
Over the fields
Was rising into the clouds
The forest was singing
The sun was shining
At the edge of the marshes

With my rifle in my hands
Deep inside I felt
A bit guilty
So I went off alone
I took my spaniel
For a walk
I was looking at
The blue sky
And I felt good

And all those birds
That were so well
Up there in the clouds
I would have loved to accompany them
To the end of their journey

But all those birds
That were so well
Up there in the clouds
I would have loved to accompany them
To the end of their journey

Yes, all those birds
That were so well
Up there in the clouds
I would have loved to accompany them
To the end of their journey

Yes, all those birds
That were so well
Up there in the clouds
