I would like to be a magpie
I would like to be a magpie and flyto this window to tell you a word,
but I would not that you put me in a cage.
And that you immediately came - from inside - to call me:
- Come, Marotta mine, come Cola! 1
But I would) not that you put me in a cage.
And I would come back to being a man
as I was before, hoping to find you alone,
but I would not that you put me in a cage.
And then, I would go back to be a cat
to go down the trapdoor,
but I would that one thing was done to me. ..
