I've shown you various odd lists on here ... just to remind you of one first ... List 1 Tree Sparrow Little Auk That's it ! ..... now here's a few more ... List 2 Treecreeper Goldcrest Common Crane Ring-necked Parakeet Water Rail Short-eared Owl Garden Warbler List 3 Green Woodpecker ( that's all of list 3) List 4 Treecreeper Goldcrest Grasshopper Warbler ( there's probably quite a few more on this list, but I haven't found out yet for certain ! ) Now ... I'm going to tell you what the four lists are all about, but I'm not going to tell you which is which .... that's your job. Should you choose to accept the challenge. Here's what the four lists are about... One of them is "birds I've only seen once from my house." Another is " birds I've kept in the freezer." Another list is of " birds I can't hear any more" Another is of " birds which I saw as dead bodies before I saw a live one." I think you'll be able to sort out which is which pretty accurately. The answers will be after the words of the song .... And after all that deep thinking and the like, here's Vetusta morla ... " Los días raros" ..... and before you say " Isn't it "las días" ? ... It isn't. Día is one of those rare Spanish words which end in "a" but are masculine. Ábrelo, ábrelo despacio.
Di qué ves. Dime qué ves si hay algo. Un manantial, breve y fugaz, entre las manos. Toca afinar, definir de un trazo. Sintonizar, reagrupar pedazos en mi colección de medallas y de arañazos. Ya está aquí ¿quién lo vio? Baila como un lazo en un ventilador ¿Quién iba a decir que sin carbón no hay Reyes Magos? Aún quedan vicios por perfeccionar en los días raros. Los destaparemos en la intimidad con la punta del zapato. Ya está aquí ¿quién lo vio? Baila como un lazo en un ventilador ¿Quién iba a decir que sin borrón no hay trato? El futuro se vistió con el traje nuevo del emperador. ¿Quién iba a decir que sin carbón no hay reyes magos? Nos quedan muchos más regalos por abrir. Monedas que, al girar, descubran un perfil que empieza en celofán y acaba en eco. One of them is "birds I've only seen once from my house." List 2 Another is " birds I've kept in the freezer." List 3 Another list is of " birds I can't hear any more" List 4 Another is of " birds which I saw as dead bodies before I saw a live one." List 1
