The Window

เนื้อเพลงต้นฉบับภาษาอังกฤษ

[Verse 1]
The window on the third floor
looks at a wall.
A bird sits on the ledge
made of stone.
It hasn't moved
since last winter.

[Verse 2]
A notice on the glass:
Do not open.
The tape has yellowed.
The bird has no shadow.
The bird is paint.

[Hook]
Window, bird.
Bird, wall.
One of them
does not move.

[Verse 3]
I watch it during calls.
It watches the wall.
A feather would have fallen
by now.
The paint is cracked
near the beak.

[Verse 4]
A new starter asks
if the bird is dead.
I say it never lived.
She laughs,
then stops.
We look at the wall.

[Hook]
Window, bird.
Bird, wall.
One of them
does not move.

[Final Verse]
At lunch, I touch the glass.
It's cold.
The notice flakes
under my nail.
Do not open.
I don't open.
