Cowbirds Lyrics – Lorraine Feather

Singer: Lorraine Feather
Title: Cowbirds

I wake up to the sound of the cowbirds,
Their burbling, beautiful cry.
You can see them all day at the cherrywood feeder.
They started appearing in early July.

They are stocky and glossy,
Certainly bossy,
But no more than the jays.
As they finish their feeding,

I begin reading
Of their curious ways.
They gather no moss,
They carry no leaves,

To fashion fine homes
In the trees or the eaves.
A cowbird roams the woods until
She finds a nest that fills the bill,

Snug in a tower of green.
She stays awhile but doesnt brood.
She wont return to offer food,
But simply flees the scene.

Her young one hatches quickly,
And does what hes wired to do.
With a purposeful thrust of his juvenile legs,
He starts to dispose of the resident eggs,

Make short work of the slumbering finches or phoebes,
Who drop to the ground without any sound,
Or, he leaves them quite alone!
Soon a stranger arrives to fill his gaping beak,

As if he were one of her own.
The tale will be told in the course of a week.
The latecomers, fragile and small,
Will get little or nothing at all.

The dusk is alive with the call of the cowbirds,
The striking display of their wings.
I watch them hold court by the cherrywood feeder,
And quietly ponder the nature of things,

How stars that have died can collide in the night,
Make such a grand show as they spatter,
How sunsets that bring up a groan of delight
Are filled with particulate matter,

How it hardly seems fair
That some birds get the boot,
So others can live and grow fat.
Theres a metaphor there,

But its low-hanging fruit,
So maybe Ill leave it at that,
As a stout baby cowbird falls asleep
To the piteous cheep of a ghost,

May we ever outnumber our host.

Cowbirds – Terjemahan / Translation

Saya bangun dengan suara cowbirds,
Burbling mereka, menangis cantik.
Anda dapat melihat mereka sepanjang hari di pengumpan kayu cherry.
Mereka mulai muncul pada awal Juli.

Mereka stocky dan glossy,
Tentu suka memerintah,
Tapi tidak lebih dari jay.
Karena mereka menyelesaikan pemberian makan mereka,

Saya mulai membaca
Cara mereka yang ingin tahu.
Mereka tidak mengumpulkan lumut,
Mereka tidak membawa daun,

Untuk fashion rumah mewah
Di pohon atau atap.
Seekor cowbird berkeliaran di hutan sampai
Dia menemukan sarang yang mengisi tagihan,

Pas di menara hijau.
Dia tetap beberapa saat tetapi tidak merenung.
Dia tidak akan kembali untuk menawarkan makanan,
Tapi hanya melarikan diri dari adegan.

Yang masih muda menetas dengan cepat,
Dan melakukan apa yang DAPATKAN untuk dilakukan.
Dengan dorongan sengaja dari kakinya,
Dia mulai membuang telur residen,

Buat karya pendek dari finch atau phoebes yang tertidur,
Yang jatuh ke tanah tanpa suara,
Atau, dia meninggalkan mereka sendirian!
Segera seorang asing tiba untuk mengisi paruh belahnya,

Seolah-olah dia adalah salah satu miliknya.
Kisah itu akan diberitahu dalam satu minggu.
Para Latekomer, rapuh dan kecil,
Akan sedikit atau tidak sama sekali.

Senja itu hidup dengan panggilan cowbirds,
Tampilan yang mencolok dari sayap mereka.
Saya menyaksikan mereka memegang pengadilan oleh pengumpan kayu cherry,
Dan diam-diam merenungkan sifat hal-hal,

Bagaimana bintang yang telah mati dapat bertabrakan di malam hari,
Membuat pertunjukan besar saat mereka berhamburan,
Bagaimana matahari terbenam yang memunculkan keluhan kesenangan
Diisi dengan partikel,

Bagaimana hampir tidak adil
Bahwa beberapa burung mendapatkan boot,
Jadi orang lain dapat hidup dan menumbuhkan lemak.
Ada metafora di sana,

Tapi buahnya yang menggantung rendah,
Jadi mungkin sakit meninggalkannya pada saat itu,
Sebagai bayi cowbird stout tertidur
Ke ciak kencing hantu,

Semoga kita pernah melebihi jumlah tuan rumah kita.
