Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) Lyrics in English Kalimba
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) by Kalimba from Spanish to English.
I once had a girl
I once had a girl
Or should I say she once had me
Or should I say she once had me
She showed me her room
She showed me her room
Isn't it good Norwegian wood?
Isn't it good Norwegian wood?
She asked me to stay
She asked me to stay
And she told me to sit anywhere
And she told me to sit anywhere
So I looked around
So I looked around
And I noticed there wasn't a chair
And I noticed there wasn't a chair
I sat on a rug biding my time
I sat on a rug biding my time
Drinking her wine
Drinking her wine
We talked until two and then she said
We talked until two and then she said
'It's time for bed'
"It's time for bed"
She told me she worked
She told me she worked
In the morning and started to laugh
In the morning and started to laugh
I told her I didn't
I told her I didn't
And crawled off to sleep in the bath
And crawled off to sleep in the bath
And when I awoke I was alone
And when I awoke I was alone
This bird had flown
This bird had flown
So I lit a fire
So I lit a fire
Isn't it good Norwegian wood?
Isn't it good Norwegian wood?

Did you like this lyrics translation?
volado — flown away
Volado is the past participle of the verb volar, meaning "to fly". In this context, it translates to "flown away" or "had flown".
It's an interesting word because it directly references the iconic line "This bird had flown" from the original Beatles song, which is a metaphor for the girl leaving unexpectedly. While volar is common, its use here to describe a person's sudden departure makes it particularly evocative and central to the song's narrative.
