A lovely little simple folk song from Devendra. Once again I am humbled by a far superior version. :)

Please watch the beautiful LiliAna, the most exquisite voice I have heard in a while!!

Wake up, wake up little sparrow
Don't make your home out in the snow
Don't make your home out in the snow

Little bird, oh dontcha know
Your friends flew south many months ago
Your friends flew south many months ago

You're just a babe, you cannot fly,
Your wings won't spread up against the sky
Your wings won't spread up against the sky

Wake up, wake up little sparrow
Don't make your home out in the snow
Don't make your home out in the snow
Don't make your home out in the snow
