The title of Barradas’ song is a little mundane, but the music is great

Die Vögel
Friedrich von Schlegel
Wie lieblich und fröhlich,
Zu schweben, zu singen;
Von glänzender Höhe
Zur Erde zu blicken!
Die Menschen sind töricht,
Sie können nicht fliegen;
Sie jammern in Nöten,
Wir flattern gen Himmel.
Der Jäger will töten,
Dem Früchte wir pickten;
Wir müssen ihn höhnen,
Und Beute gewinnen.
The birds
English Translation © Richard Wigmore
How delightful and exhilarating it is
to soar and to sing,
to look down on the earth
from the radiant heights!
Men are foolish:
they cannot fly.
They lament in their distress;
we fly up to the heavens.
The huntsman whose fruit we pecked
wants to kill us;
but we should mock him
and snatch our spoils.
Vivaldi, String Concerto, RV 208. See my profile for comments (Conrad Melville)
