   Original   
   Blue canary di ramo in ramo,   
   Gorgheggi al vento il tuo richiamo.   
   Blue canary attendi invano    
   Che torni al nido chi ando lontano.   
      
   Ogni fiore del mio giardino    
   Sullo stelo si è chinato    
   Ed ascolta intimidito   
   La tua favola accorata.   
      
   Sopra i rami del grande pino    
   Da quel nido dimenticato    
   S'ode a sera disperato    
   Il richiamo a chi è partito.   
      
   Blue canary che affidi al vento    
   Le tristi note del tuo tormento,   
   Blue canary nel bel tramonto    
   Ti sento amico del mio rimpianto.   
      
   Blue blue blue canary - pic, pic, pic - si perde l'eco.   
   Se piangi o canti al tramontar - pic, pic - ripete il vento.
