Jodi a, m rive, dènye branch ki te rete a kase
Nich pay la gaye, van pote l ale
M la, m ap chante, m la, m ap kriye
Oh, ouh-ouh, ouh, ouh!
Dènye branch pay nan bèk li se te lespwa
Oh, ouh-ouh, ouh, ouh!
Goumen pou lakay li pa dezespwa

Branch yo kase van pa soufle
Fèy yo seche, dlo fin koule
Konnen li lè, fòk ou poze

Hm hm, Black Bird
Hm hm, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
Hm, hm, Black Bird
Black Bird

Jodi a, m rive, black bird pi wo, ankò, li vole
Pou lè souf li bout nan bat zèl
Pou goumen ak dezespwa, l ap plane
Petèt avek espwa, espwa lè l desann menm yon branch n a plante
M la, m ap chante, m la, m ap kriye
Oh, ouh-ouh, ouh, ouh!
Kiyès ki tande mwen, kiyès ki vle?
Oh, ouh-ouh, ouh, ouh!
You fly high above the dark, oh, Bird

Branch yo kase van pa soufle
Fèy yo seche, dlo fin koule
Konnen li lè, fòk ou poze

Hm hm, Black Bird
Hm, hm, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
Hm, hm, Black Bird
Black Bird

Si menm ka sèvi branch pou lavi ka nèt
Si menm ka sèvi pou plante lespwa nan kè Black Bird
Konsa la poze
Lakay la rete
You fly high above the dark, oh, Bird

Hm hm, Black Bird
Hm hm Oh oh ouh
Hm hm, black Bird
Black Bird
