I recently found this beautiful song called Fûgels, by Die Twa. The song is in Frisian, a language spoken in the Netherlands. I found the lyrics and the translation online, please correct them below if you find any mistakes. You can watch the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JJ38oTDBWw.
Fûgels
Kom en nim my by de hân
Lit it gean it swier en dreech ferstân
De sinne skynt, ja dy skynt ek foar dy
Leau yn dysels en fiel dy fûgelfrij
Leau yn dysels en fiel dy fûgelfrij
Hâlde dyn tinsen dy donker en sa del
Lústerje dan nei wat ik dy fertel
Sjoch nei de loft, it blau, de wolken, lit dy gean
Folgje de fûgels, do kinst se ferstean
Folgje de fûgels, do kinst se ferstean
REFREIN:
Meitsje romte foar leafde, de leafde yn dy
De leafde is sa kreftich, it makket dy frij
Sa frij as in fûgel, de fûgels om dy hinne
Ja, fiel dy as in fûgel en do bist nea allinne
It is bytiden ûnwerklik en sa swier
Ynteressearret it dy gjin iene sier
Lit it los en sjoch omheech
De pine ferdwynt en meitsje dy leech
De pine ferdwynt en meitsje dy leech
REFREIN
Fûgels binne oeral romtlik en frij
De roppe fertelt hiel wat oan dy en my
Al is de dei sa tsjuster en docht it ljocht dy sear
De fûgels fertelle ús dêr is safolle mear
De fûgels fertelle ús dêr is safolle mear
REFREIN

Birds
Come and take me by the hand
Let go what is heavy and difficult to understand
The sun shines, yes, it shines also for you
Believe in yourself and feel free as a bird
Believe in yourself and feel free as a bird
Hold your dark and negative thoughts
Then listen to what I tell you
Look at the sky, the blue, the clouds, let go
Follow the birds, you can understand them
Follow the birds, you can understand them
CHORUS:
Make room for love, the love in you
The love is so powerful, it makes you free
So free as a bird, the birds around you
Yes, feel as a bird and you’ll never be alone
It is sometimes unreal and so heavy
Nothing interests you anymore
Let it go and look up
The pain disappears and makes you empty
The pain disappears and makes you empty
CHORUS
Birds are everywhere, spatial and free
They call, telling a lot to you and me
All the day is so dark and the light hurts you
The birds tell us there is much more
The birds tell us there is much more
