Siis, kui naised veel linnud olid. When women were birds

Ammu-ammu,
siis kui naised veel linnud olid,
lihtsalt mõisteti,
et kui koidu ja hämariku ajal laulda,
siis see tervendab maailma.
Läbi rõõmu.
Linnud mäletavad seda siiani.
Meie vist oleme unustanud…

Once upon a time,
when women were birds,
there was the simple understanding,
that to sing at dawn and to sing at dusk,
was to heal the world through joy.
The birds still remember
what we have forgotten;
that the world is meant to be celebrated.
