Malena
Malena's Wings: A Poetic Flight of Dreams
Lyrics
(A wish that Malena had wings)
A desire for Malena to have wings.
Malena for hours would run in the meadow well Malena would go to play every day
Malena would spend hours playing in the meadow every day.
She chased butterflies and she'd say with the smile
She enjoyed chasing butterflies and expressed her longing for wings with a smile.
If I had wings I could fly that away
Malena expresses that if she had wings, she could fly away.
Maena would cry when we try to explain
Malena becomes upset when adults try to explain that little girls aren't supposed to have wings.
That little girl's world's supposed to haven wings
There's a contradiction between Malena's world and the reality adults are trying to convey.
That only in heaven can little girls fly we'd see a strange look in Malena's eyes
Adults mention that only in heaven can little girls fly, noticing a strange look in Malena's eyes.
(A wish that Malena had wings)
Reiteration of the desire for Malena to have wings.
We'll always remember Malena's last birthday
Recalling Malena's last birthday.
Boxes with bright colored ribbon and string
Boxes with colorful ribbons were part of Malena's birthday celebration.
And the wish that she made as she blew out the candles
Malena's birthday wish involves having wings.
A wish that Malena had wings
Reiteration of the wish for Malena to have wings.
And with all the gifts that we bought for Malena
Despite various gifts, Malena's specific wish for wings remains unfulfilled.
The wish that she made we could not satisfy
Her wish couldn't be satisfied with the gifts she received.
But on the night of her birthday the angels fullfilled it
On her birthday night, angels fulfill Malena's wish by giving her wings.
They gave her wings and now Malena can fy
As a result, Malena now has wings and can fly.
Malena has wings and Malena can fly on the wings of an angel in heaven on high
Malena can fly on the wings of an angel in heaven.
From the time she could talk her wish was the same a wish that Malena had wings
From childhood, Malena consistently expressed a wish for wings.
(A wish that Malena had wings)
Reiteration of the desire for Malena to have wings.
