He called her Charly
I found her lying in the street
And she cried from hunger
Charly
Trembling and lost
Almost lifeless
She felt lonely and defeated
Her muffled cries
Without breath or strength in her open wings
Poor Charly
I gave her a new nest, hope
And warmth between my fingers
You were lucky to cross my path
I saved you from your fate, oh Charly
You were lucky to cross my path
I saved you from your fate, oh Charly
I provided care
Little by little you lived and healed
Always by my side
Charly
But your longing to fly took you
To fly freely towards the sky
He called her Charly
I found her lying in the street
And she cried from hunger
Charly
She left my life, alive waiting
For her to return someday
You were lucky to cross my path
I saved you from your fate, oh Charly
