English Translation:
Perched on the branch of a tree
Was a nightingale sad and lonely
Perched on the branch of a tree
Was a nightingale sad and lonely
“The night has drawn near”, He was thinking
“I passed the day in flying around and feeding
“I passed the day in flying around and feeding
How can I reach up to the nest
Darkness has enveloped everything”?
Darkness has enveloped everything”?
Hearing the nightingale wailing thus
A glow‐worm lurking nearby spoke thus
A glow‐worm lurking nearby spoke thus
“With my heart and soul ready to help I am
Though only an insignificant insect I am
Though only an insignificant insect I am
Never mind if the night is dark
I shall shed light if the way is dark
I shall shed light if the way is dark
God has bestowed a torch on me
He has given a shining lamp to me
He has given a shining lamp to me
The good in the world only those are
Ready to be useful to others who are
Ready to be useful to others who are
