My wings are heavy and I cannot fly
The rocks beneath my feet have no water
The cold desert is lonely as it used to be;
Now I need to take rest and close my eyes
To listen to the song of air!
My friends left me behind and
Are crossing over the ocean…
To find a perfect island to sit and breed;
I need to swallow this truth.
I, the Great Albatross!
