This bird is called a tico-tico

A pair of them has built a nest somewhere around the house and the male spends a good portion of the day around the mirrors and windshields of the vehicles. He keeps trying to peck and claw his own image because it thinks it's another male invading his territory.

Eat cheese, o ye vapid vituperative vixen.
Like a sun
Som en sol

So alone
Så ensam

Like a sun
Som en sol

Oh oh ah
Oh oh ah

Like a sun
Som en sol

So alone
Så ensam

Like a sun
Som en sol

Oh oh ah
Oh oh ah
So lonely and I have to stay
Så ensam och jag måste bli

A sun, shine so that you see
En sol, lysa så att du ser

Alone, going up when you go down
Ensam, går upp när du går ner

A sun, don't want to burn anymore
En sol, vill inte brinna mer

Alone and I must stay
Ensam och jag måste bli

A sun, shine so that you see
En sol, lysa så att du ser

Alone, going up when you go down
Ensam, går upp när du går ner

A sun, don't want to burn anymore
En sol, vill inte brinna mer
Like a sun
Som en sol

So alone
Så ensam

Like a sun
Som en sol

Oh oh ah
Oh oh ah

Like a sun
Som en sol

So alone
Så ensam

Like a sun
Som en sol

Oh oh ah
Oh oh ah
So lonely and I have to stay
Så ensam och jag måste bli

A sun, shine so that you see
En sol, lysa så att du ser

Alone, going up when you go down
Ensam, går upp när du går ner

A sun, don't want to burn anymore
En sol, vill inte brinna mer

Alone and I must stay
Ensam och jag måste bli

A sun, shine so that you see
En sol, lysa så att du ser

Alone, going up when you go down
Ensam, går upp när du går ner

A sun, don't want to burn anymore
En sol, vill inte brinna mer

Alone and I must stay
Ensam och jag måste bli

A sun, shine so that you see
En sol, lysa så att du ser

Alone, going up when you go down
Ensam, går upp när du går ner

A sun, don't want to burn anymore
En sol, vill inte brinna mer
