Take flight, oh take flight, sing your flight,
Take flight, oh take flight, sing your flight,
Take flight, oh take flight, sing your flight,
Ah, to fly away, the sparrows must fly,
Oh, oh, oh, to fly away, the sparrows must fly,
Friendship blooms with the sparrow's cry.
Take flight, oh take flight, sing your flight,
Take flight, oh take flight, sing your flight.

Sitting, dozing on the hearth's warm pyre,
Kissing, sniffing letters, fueled by desire.
Sitting, dozing on the hearth's warm pyre,
Kissing, sniffing letters, fueled by desire.
A spark takes flight, a fiery pyre.
Take flight, oh take flight, sing your flight,
Take flight, oh take flight, sing your flight.

My beloved, never leaves my sight,
My beloved, never leaves my sight,
Again and again, the knife cuts the finger,
Not the vegetables, I can't even get right.
Take flight, oh take flight, sing your flight,
Take flight, oh take flight, sing your flight.

When my eyes found that other shore,
On rainbow swings, my head did soar,
I thought I would give and give and give some more,
Hour after hour, the stars would pour.
Long, long is the string of the heart's lore.
Oh, take flight, oh take flight, sing your flight,
Take flight, oh take flight, sing your flight.

Putting on a necklace, she asks,
"Mirror, do you know my love's tasks?"
Wandering the streets, friends call out,
"Walk softly, don't stomp about."
Wandering the streets, friends call out,
"Walk softly, don't stomp about."
In the palanquin, the journey's start,
Take flight, oh take flight, sing your flight,
Oh, take flight, oh take flight, sing your flight,
To fly away, the sparrows must fly,
To fly away, the sparrows must fly,
Friendship blooms with the sparrow's cry.
Take flight, oh take flight, sing your flight,
Oh, oh, oh
Take flight, oh take flight, sing your flight,
Oh, oh, oh
