Song-Τραγούδι Poem by Kostas Lagos
Song-Τραγούδι
The blackbirds sing when they're in love
and the swans when death they confront
But the nightingales only sing
when in freedom they live
That's why their song
is the most melodious.
Τα κοτσύφια σαν είναι ερωτευμένα τραγουδούν
κι οι κύκνοι όταν τον θάνατο αντικρίζουν
Μα τα αηδόνια κελαηδούν μονάχα
ελεύθερα όταν είναι
Γι'αυτό και το τραγούδι τους
είναι το μελωδικότερο.
Beautiful poem on birds and song with haunting expression. Thanks for sharing.10
A beautiful poem that sings. Wonderfully penned. We sing the most melodious tunes when our heart is free like the nightingales' song.10

" The swan song is a metaphorical phrase for a final gesture, effort, or performance given just before death or retirement. The phrase refers to an ancient belief that swans sing a beautiful song just before their death, having been silent during most of their lifetime. Wikipedia" but isn't death a kind of freedom? ? and a free person may love......though once married/partnered the (formerly) free person may no longer be free! ! ! bri ;)
That's quite a riddle my friend!
