Thankfully, in New Brunswick, we are blessed with colourful birds. Indeed, this morning Bambi saw a superb red one. Unfortunately, she did not have enough time for a picture. The other day she saw three, one yellow, one partly blue, and the other looked like a little zebra. It was the first time she sees the latter.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This being said, as a pure coincidence, she now came across the latest beautiful song of Mr. Nicola Ciconne. Guess what? It is entitled <em>&#8220;Comme un oiseau<\/em>&#8221; [&#8220;<em>Like a Bird&#8221;<\/em>]<em>. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For your convenience, a quick translation of its lyrics will follow the melody, with a slight adaptation by Bambi (<a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3Brgj0P\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3Brgj0P<\/a>) with the assistance of her faithful friend, Mr. <em>Google Translate<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for your lovely birds, please keep singing, flying, and being free. Thank you for making us happier just by watching you, whether we live in Sackville, Beirut, or anywhere else on our beautiful planet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Nicola Ciccone - Comme un oiseau (Clip Officiel)\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Cf9iAOnY0Ck?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>&#8220;My heart is a bird<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>That cannot be caged<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>My\nvoice is a flag<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>A\ndesire, a courage<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>Even\nif sometimes I fall<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>Blown\nby the wind<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>I\nalways get up<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>And carry on straight ahead<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\">M<em>y heart is a boat<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>Who does not know how to shipwreck<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>My\nfaith is a stream<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>One\nlove, one rage<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>Even\nif sometimes I tremble<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>And\nweather the storm<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>I\nnever give up<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>I never stop.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>Go\nfly, fly<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>You\nmy beautiful bird<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>Follow\nyour mad dash<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>Gonna\ntouch the beautiful<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>Go\nfly, fly<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>You\nmy beautiful bird<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>Fly\nfurther<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>And still higher.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>Sometimes\nmy wings break<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>On\nthe back of the clouds<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>Sometimes\nmy eyes get tired<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>And\nI only see mirages<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>But\nmy dream stays there<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>It refuses to surrender<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>It struggles despite the cold<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>And it lives in spite of the world<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>One\nday I will arrive<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>At\nthe end of my journey<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>One\nday I will ask myself<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>And\ntouch a shore<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>Then\nI will be free<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>As\nfree as the wind<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>And\nlife will be beautiful<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>As beautiful as a child&#8221;.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/heart-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25186\" width=\"205\" height=\"205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/heart-11.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/heart-11-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 205px) 85vw, 205px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you enjoy watching, and even feeding, birds like Bambi&#8217;s parents in Beirut and like many Maritimers?
