Elvis Presley - Snowbird Lyrics






Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean
The unborn grass lies waiting
for its coat to turn to green
The snowbird sings a song he always sings
And speaks to me of flowers
that will bloom again in spring

When I was young my heart was young then too
Anything that it would tell me,
that's the thing that I would do
But now I feel such emptiness within
For the thing that I want most in life
Is the thing I can't win

Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And take the snow back with you
Where it came from on that day
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could you know
that I would fly away with you

The breeze along the river seems to say
That she'll only break my heart again
should I decide to stay
So little snowbird take me with you when you go
To that land of gentle breezes
where the peaceful waters flow

    Elvis couldve made more movies and acted more in some serious roles. But he was just given shitty movie scripts.

    THE BEST

  57. S.... M....

    Elvis Presley was a gem a real humble kind gift from God who up lifed many hearts a lives w Christ that lived inside this humble heart a soul. Elvis was a musical phropet born to speed his love to a lost a dieing world. ,, , he was really Something Else .

  66. M.... B....

    The man that wrote this song his name was Gene maclellan from PEI prince Edward island he made a female singer Anne Murray famous but Elvis Presleydid a better job I think that my own opinion snow bird PEI Canada where I from Elvis had beautiful voice for rockroll and country.

    Elvis did the best version of this.

  69. J.... A....

    English/ Español

    Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean/ Debajo de este manto de nieve limpio y frío,
    The unborn grass lies waiting/ el pasto no nacido yace esperando
    for its coat to turn to green/ a que su “pelaje” se vuelva verde,
    The snowbird sings a song he always sings/ el junquillo canta una canción que siempre canta,
    And speaks to me of flowers/ Y que me habla de flores
    that will bloom again in spring/ que florecerán una vez más en primavera.

    When I was young my heart was young then too/ Cuando era joven, también mi corazón era joven,
    Anything that it would tell me,/ cualquier cosa que me decía,
    that's the thing that I would do/ era la cosa que hacía,
    But now I feel such emptiness within/ pero ahora siento tal vacío interior,
    For the thing that I want most in life/ porque aquello que más quiero en la vida,
    Is the thing I can't win/ es algo que no puedo alcanzar.

    Spread your tiny wings and fly away/ Abre tus pequeñas alas y vuela lejos…
    And take the snow back with you/ y llévate esta nieve contigo,
    Where it came from on that day/ del lugar de donde vino ese día.
    The one I love forever is untrue/ a quien he amado por siempre es falsa,
    And if I could you know/ y si pudiera, sabrías que
    that I would fly away with you/ volaría lejos contigo…

    The breeze along the river seems to say/ La brisa a lo largo del rio parece decir
    That she'll only break my heart again/ que ella romperá mi corazón de nuevo,
    should I decide to stay/ debo decidir quedarme
    So little snowbird take me with you when you go/ por eso, pequeño junquillo llévame a donde tú vas,
    To that land of gentle breezes/ a esa tierra de brisas suaves,
    where the peaceful waters flow/ donde fluyen las aguas pacíficas

    Greeting/ Saludos

  81. d.... m....

    Actually I LOVE the way Elvis sings this song

  85. R.... J....

    His voice turnes every songs into heaven

  86. c.... a....

    J'adore cette voix

  87. V.... S....

    “When I was young, my heart was young then too...”

  88. T.... D....

    Both versions are equally good, but I feel like Anne Murray's version had more of a effect on me

  89. F.... M....

    Anne Murray does it best but Elvis did it justice God bless his soul

  90. T.... D....

    You think it's funny hacking me well Google is out looking for the person who just did and I swear to God you're going to be arrested and you're going to pay a month balance for my phone on top of your charges we want you off of Facebook Priscilla Presley Lisa Marie Presley lucky Rockets myself we are the Presley family you don't have a choice because legal action will be taken against you Facebook is aware that your account will be automatically dropped goodbye lord ass

  92. C.... ....

    He was able to make a song his own ... just perfect

  93. I.... C....

    Bles Bridges version is the best.

  94. c.... ....

    Anne Murray still sings it better, but this is nice.

  95. w.... ....

    I find a good song, then I type the word Elvis in front of it and chances are Elvis covered it.

  96. R.... L....

    Back on January 19, 1995, when Gene MacLellan - the gentleman who penned this song - passed away, he still had a big smile on his face because the King recorded two of his songs:  this one we're listening to here, and "Put Your Hand in the Hand."

  97. w.... ....

    Anne Murray sang it with more heart but elvis sang it with more elvis end of

  98. J.... E....

    I like Elvis but really -_-
