Go flying

translated from the Italian version

Go flying

Go flying -
To run in lush meadows
And listen to the frenzied call
Of the birds at dawn
Go flying -
To play with Fido
In the morning 
And pet him well
Go flying -
But it's time to rest....under the
Burning midday sun
No-one stirs
Go flying - 
Don't confuse the chittering
Of the racoon with the sound
Of the owl at sunset
Go flying -
To hear the call of the forest
Wolves at dusk
Howling to each other
Go flying -
To enjoy the most beautiful gift
Of nature from morn to eve
It opens the heart and cures all evil
Go flying -
To discover the wealth of what
Gives hope of a better world
Without pain or sadness
Go - flying, flying...

Oh to go flying and running with the wolves... Am curious if I could make something of the Italian version (as I write much in Dutch and translate it into English (but also vice versa). Keep it up✍
