english,
A newborn bird has come into the world,
still doesn’t know how to sing and fly.
In the darkness of a hole in a tree,
there she resides with her mother so old.
The mother goes out to search for food,
she always comes home with claws full of fruits.
The hatchling devours every seed every day,
until her vivid complexion of feather is displayed.
One day, the mother goes out again.
The daughter waits and waits,
but not a single flap of wings is heard.
She starts to worry and peeks from the hole from time to time.
The next morning, news comes to her tree.
Shocked about what she's heard,
she stares out of the hole's opening
knowing that her mother is dead, attacked by snakes.
It’s a miracle to receive the news,
as the other birds are also scared to come out.
The neighbors are scared,
everyone’s just hiding in their nests.
The daughter can’t help to moans and groans
until the ruckus catches the attention of a snake.
The bird discerns the coming of the snake,
so she keeps quiet and learns to not use her voice ever again.
She wants to fly away,
live in a different place.
But the fear inside her
wants her to stay.
The bird grapples with it every day,
always gazing at the dull sky.
She does not know what to do,
she just sits still and despises the view.
One day, the bird sleeps soundlessly,
until the roaring of a machine is heard.
She looks down to observe what’s happening,
and a crowd of strange creatures is standing next to her tree.
The machine has jagged ends that can cut the tree in half.
The creatures have no wings
and they have brown skins.
They almost look like large monkeys.
Her tree starts to gradually lean
until she falls from the hole and lands at the bottom of the tree.
The creature tries to pick her up,
But the bird ducks into another hole in the tree.
The bird is afraid of getting seized.
She has never used her voice for help,
so she just runs and hides.
Eventually, the crowd leaves the place with a big half of the trunk from her tree.
She realizes that this is wrong,
the struggles are too much for a little bird.
She stands tall with her eyes full of anger,
she has had enough.
She decides to use her feet,
to step forward and be strong.
She decides to open her mouth,
to use her voice to be heard.
She calls and calls for help,
this is exactly what she needs.
She is scared thinking that maybe
no one will come to help.
Suddenly, a flock of birds approaches.
They understand the struggles and give her tenderness and care.
The bird cries of happiness
and decides to go with them.
At that moment,
she realizes that she is not alone.
A lot of birds experience the same struggles,
and they come together to keep on fighting.
She has lost her mother,
and she never met her father.
But with this flock of birds,
a new family is formed.
The bird knows that her life has more to it,
And that every struggle will come to an end.
She looks at the sky and spreads her wings.
And with the flock of birds, she soars.
