Между небом и землёй Песня раздаётся, Неисходною струёй Громче громче льётся. Не видать певца полей! Где поёт так громко Над подруженькой своей Жаворонок звонкий. Ветер песенку несёт, А кому, не знает. Та, к кому она поймёт, От кого -- узнает! Лейся ж, песенка моя, Песнь надежды сладкой. Кто-то вспомнит про меня И вздохнёт украдкой.

Between the sky and the earth A song is heard An unending stream of sound Pours louder, louder. Unseen is the singer in the field Where sings so loudly Above his mate The sonorous skylark. The wind carries the song, To whom, it does not know. She to whom it is sung, She will understand who it is from. Pour on, my song Of sweet hope Someone remembers me And sighs furtively.

Translator’s note: i.e. We don’t see the singer in the field where the sonorous skylark sings so loudly above his mate.

Eastern Meadowlark Sounds

The male Eastern Meadowlark’s primary song consists of 3 to 5 (sometimes up to 8) pure and plaintive flutelike whistles all slurred together and gradually dropping in pitch, up to 2 seconds long. Male have a repertoire of songs, singing one song repeatedly for a time and then switching to a different version. They typically sing from an exposed perch, but occasionally sing in flight as well.

Calls

Eastern Meadowlarks give a single, sharp dzert note when humans or other meadowlarks intrude on their territory. Another distinctive sound is a harsh chatter that lasts 1.5 seconds and is given by both males and females. Both sexes have a series of weet calls that they give while in flight.
