Lyrics:

[English]

I don't know, I don't know

Where I'll go or what I'll do

It makes no difference what I do without you

Ooh, I love you my darling

But I'll have to let you leave

Goodbye, it's the last you hear of me

Well I found the bluebird high on a mountain side

And the little bird would sing its little song

So I'll sigh, I'll cry

I'll even wanna die

For the one I love is gone

...

Well I found the bluebird high on a mountainside

And the little bird would sing its little song

So I'll sigh, I'll cry

I'll even wanna die

For the one I love is gone

I'll sigh, I'll cry

I'll even wanna die

For the one I love is gone

...
