I have no wings because nobody rang a bell.

Italian translation: Niente campane ... niente ali ...

English term or phrase: I have no wings because nobody rang a bell.
-Hold on, if you're an Angel, how come you ain't got no wings?
-Because nobody rang a bell

Immagino che nel mondo anglosassone ci sia una relazione tra "earning your wings" e una campana che suona.

Qualcuno sa qualcosa di questo folklore? Avete idee creative per tradurre una roba simile?

Grazie! Alain
