Passage themes
Le cri de l'oiseau — tel une hirondelle en train de voltiger
Gémir comme une colombe — je gémissais comme une colombe
Des yeux épuisés — Mes yeux se levaient, épuisés, vers le ciel
Sois mon garant — je suis accablé, porte-toi garant pour moi
Notes and references
“Songbird”: some have suggested “thrush,” but the meaning is uncertain. It was certainly meant to reflect a plaintive, sad cry, and therefore the common translation of “crane” is certainly incorrect.
