Fuor de la bella caiba

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Fuor de la bella caiba
Fuge lo lusignuolo.
Plange lo fantino, poiche
non trova lo
So oselino ne la caiba nova;
E dice cum dolo:
Chi gli avrì l'usolo?
En un buschetto se mise ad andare;
Sentì l'ozletto sì dolce cantare.
Or bel, sí bel lusignuolo, 
torna nel mio brolo.

Hors de la belle cage

(Sung text translation for setting by Z. Kodály)

See original

Language: French (Français) after the Italian (Italiano)

Hors de la belle cage
Le rossignol s'échappe.
Il pleure son petit parce que
Le trouver il ne le peut,
le petit oiseau dans sa nouvelle cage ;
et il dit avec douleur :
Qui a ouvert la cage ?
Dans un bosquet il commence à avancer,
il entend l'oiseau chanter si doucement.
et il dit avec douleur :
O beau, si beau rossignol,
reviens dans mon jardin.
