so beautiful makes me tear up... such a pure, rich, moving voice, second in this way to karen carpenter..karen had a greater "instrument" with more range, and even MORE intimacy, haunting beauty and diction and enunciation perfection, but anne was also great and i doubt anyone could sing this song better then ann....

Anne Murray in that old clip looks like she's projected by R2-D2's hologram.

English/ Español (traducción propia)Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean/ Debajo de este manto de nieve limpio y frío,The unborn grass lies waiting/ el pasto no nacido yace esperandofor its coat to turn to green/ a que su “pelaje” se vuelva verde;The snowbird sings a song he always sings/ el junquillo canta una canción que siempre canta,And speaks to me of flowers/ y que me habla de floresthat will bloom again in spring/ que florecerán una vez más en primavera.When I was young my heart was young then too/ Cuando era joven, también mi corazón era joven, Anything that it would tell me,/ cualquier cosa que me decía,that's the thing that I would do/ era cosa que hacía,But now I feel such emptiness within/ pero ahora siento tal vacío interior,For the thing that I want most in life/ porque aquello que más quiero en la vida,Is the thing I can't win/ es algo que no puedo alcanzar.Spread your tiny wings and fly away/ Abre tus pequeñas alas y vuela lejos…And take the snow back with you/ y llévate esta nieve contigo,Where it came from on that day/ del lugar de donde vino ese día.The one I love forever is untrue/ a quien he amado por siempre es falsa,And if I could you know/ y si pudiera, sabrías quethat I would fly away with you/ volaría lejos contigo…The breeze along the river seems to say/ La brisa a lo largo del rio parece decirThat she'll only break my heart again/ que ella romperá mi corazón de nuevo,should I decide to stay/ debo decidir quedarmeSo little snowbird take me with you when you go/ por eso, pequeño junquillo llévame a donde tú vas,To that land of gentle breezes/ a esa tierra de brisas suaves,where the peaceful waters flow/ donde fluyen las aguas pacíficasGreetings/ Saludos

I put a quarter in a jukebox many years ago after hearing this on the radio. I lost a lot of quarters thanks to Anne Murray. God Bless the internet!

Her voice is very similar to that of Karen Carpenter's, IMO.

Such a Beautiful voice. I herd this song for the first time as a child in 71. My classmate sung this song solo in a Christmas play that year. He absolutely nailed it too!!!!. Been a snowbird fan ever since.

This is the song that released me from a lifetime of trying to be cool;or simply worrying about trying to be cool.I was a child when I first heard this;I laughed and smiled uncontrollably.Though the laughter is absent as I listen to it again as I type,the smile is definetly back in place.Thanks Anne!
