My heart is a bird in the wilderness.
Author: Tagore
My heart is a wilderness, a bird, and I found the sky in your eyes;
Your eyes are the cradle of the morning, and your eyes are the kingdom of stars;
My song disappears in the depths of your eyes, so let me soar in the sky;
Let me soar in the lonely and boundless sky, let me clear its clouds;
Spread your wings and fly in its sunshine.
