Music
English term or phrase: misgiven
From "Stairway to Heaven" of Led Zeppelin. The lines before say: In a tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven. - it's the term "misgiven" which I find rather difficult to translate in context. Thanks!

c'è una scritta sul muro
ma lei vuole essere sicura
perchè, come tu sai, talvolta le parole hanno due significati
su un albero vicino al ruscello
c'è un uccello che canta
talvolta tutti i nostri pensieri sono sospetti
e questo mi stupisce
e questo mi stupisce
