[David Richoux]

Don't know the tubist, but I THINK the song is about a bird that cannot sing - but can play any instrument. (if this translation is of any use. )

He was big, brown fat,
Black neck, long, thin waist
One leg, pointed
He wore a bow without an arrow
And he had a serious, serious problem
I had no voice, was silent

So that day
Do not take it anymore
He decided to enter the great forest of principles ...
I wanted to find a sound
A voice that could match him ...

He was walking, listening to everything, carefully
Until suddenly, the tree of
Snake, a sound caught his attention ...

Finch, who's that sound?
Bird ...

That sound, that's that sound?
Who knows his name?

That sound is the sound of the clarinet
Clarinet
That sound is the sound of the clarinet
Clarinet is so

It was a beautiful sound, but not served
Already had a name, was already taken
And he was walking, listening
Walking, listening
He walked so tired that:
Sat down to meditate ...

Finch, who's that sound?
Who knows his name?

That sound is like the sound of the sitar
It comes from India
Zither

Then he heard!
Was that sound! It was the sound he wanted!
There came a close
Perhaps, inside the cave
It was coming in, the sound was there
Sleeping ... snoring ...

He jabbed the tip of the bow
And zap!
The sound was inside your tummy
And he came out singing!

That sound is the sound of the cello
Cello
That sound is the sound of the cello
The cello is so... (end of translation)
