Translation
L'albatros
The albatross
Look at that white bird trapped in the sky
In its large star-spangled cage
I, from time to time, feel the same
As that eternal exile
Him, who doesn't know how to fold its wings
Me, who doesn't know how to stop
Look at that white bird trapped in the sky
In its large star-spangled cage
I, from time to time, feel the same
As that travel-worn traveler
You, from down below, sometimes call it
Him, he sure would like to land
But he can't fold his wings
And you, you just can't fly away
