Comments/Interpretations
I'd change the English translation a bit:
I could cut her wings and
then she would be mine
she would not fly away but
she would not be a bird anymore
and me, I love the bird so much
Also it's not by Joan Baez, it's by Mikel Laboa, Joan's arrangement is also beautiful though.
