How I Envy the Flying Creatures of the Sky.
Flying carelessly, without worry or grief.
With their wings, oh their
beautiful, delicate wings!
Always flying in the air,
in a sky so fair!

How I envy the flying creatures of the sky.
Unbogged with the troubles of humanity.
Living their days happily -
though simple, in their own ways.
Always flying in the air,
in a sky so fair!

Oh, oh! How I envy them!
Being able to spread their wings;
flying unrestrained, ever carefree.
How I wish to be -
always flying in the air,
in a sky so fair!
