Thanks for the help

[Michael McCafferty]

In addition to the other good questions, especially grammatical, raised 
already this morning about this song apparently attributed to the 
Nezahualcoyotl, let me add that the Spanish phrase "Pájaro de 
cuatrocientas voces" is not in the "original" Nahuatl version. It seems 
to be a definition for "centzontle," perhaps a parenthetical addition.
