Why is 翼をください translated as "Please give me wings"?


I checked that sentence on
[Google](https://www.google.com.tw/search?rlz=1C1ASUC_enTW628TW628&ei=LRv9WuvgJIK60AT3oYHgDg&q=%E7%BF%BC%E3%82%92%E3%81%8F%E3%81%A0%E3%81%95%E3%81%84%20translatio%20please&oq=%E7%BF%BC%E3%82%92%E3%81%8F%E3%81%A0%E3%81%95%E3%81%84%20translatio%20please&gs_l=psy-
ab.3...6840.17699.0.17848.18.15.2.0.0.0.156.1430.5j8.13.0....0...1c.1j4.64.psy-
ab..3.10.886...0i30k1j33i160k1j35i39k1j0i13i30k1.0.2XrT_BH_Yj4). Apparently,
the translation is "Please give me wings." This confuses me because ...

翼 = wing  
を = direct object marker.  
ください = please  

There's no give!

**Update** : this comes from the title of a
[song](https://lyricstranslate.com/en/%E7%BF%BC%E3%82%92%E3%81%8F%E3%81%A0%E3%81%95%E3%81%84%E3%80%80tsubasa-
wo-kudasai-give-me-wings.html).




Believing that 「ください」 always means "please" is a very common rookie mistake.

「ください」 can mean "please" **_only_** when it is attached **_as a subsidiary
verb_** to another verb. The other verb is the main verb.

「来{き}てください。」 (来る + ください) means "Please come (here)!"

「ちょっと待{ま}ってください。」 (待つ + ください) means "Please wait a sec!"

When 「ください」 is used independently (without being attached to another verb), it
can **_only_** mean " ** _Give me ~~!_** " or " ** _Please give me ~~!_** "

Thus, 「翼をください」 means "(Please) give me wings!"
