Original title: "Colombe Poignardée"
Song written for the soundtrack of the movie "Le peuple migrateur"
Year: 2001
White queen winged with black* "Margoter" or "Margauder" in french is the scream of the Quail, same goes for "carcailler"
Crane and its groats
The starlings' clan
Four long-flight ducks
Three woodpigeons
Two turtledoves
One partridge
Who comes who goes who flies
And there are screams*
there are twitters²
there are gobbles³
there are squawks
there are cackles
there are hisses
there are quacks*
there are screeches
there are talks with the wind
Bleeding-heart dove
Talks with the wind
Mallard, Northern pintail, northern shoveler, Eider
kingfisher, king fisher
Four long-flight ducks
Three woodpigeons
Two turtledoves
One partridge
Who comes who goes who flies
The big crow of the seas
Took my soul away
Because at everyone's neck
Hangs one's bird
² for the swallow
³ for the gander (male of the goose)
