Lyrics in English: You can not catch the light It's kept inside The log should scream but instead it crackles, snaps The forest fairy cannot come to help Dull-minded flames swallow everything And a screeching melody echoes Thick trunks and delicate twigs cry out When the ancient grove burns We chop down the grove until the flame still smolders There is no quarrel, it feeds us But once the earth is barren And things go bad, what happens then? My tree, my tree, even though you have no mouth Your leaves are flesh and your trunk is bone The fire gnaws at your flesh at my fireplace But still, I understand your whisper The log should scream when it crackles, snaps The forest fairy cannot come to help Dull-minded flames swallow everything And a screeching melody echoes Thick trunks and delicate twigs cry out When the ancient grove burns We chop down the grove until the flame still smolders There is no quarrel, it feeds us But once the earth is barren And things go bad, what happens then? Men (choir): I am a tree, I am a tree, even though I have no mouth My leaves are flesh and my trunk is bone Kate (singer): My tree, my tree, even though you have no mouth Your leaves are flesh and my trunk is bone My tree, my tree, even though you have no tongue/voice Your hissing makes my thoughts rejoice Let storms and winds ravage you Don't ask why the coal does not stay hot I am a tree, I am a tree, even though I have no mouth My leaves are flesh and my trunk is bone The fire gnaws at my flesh at your fireplace But still, you understand my whisper I am a tree, I am a tree, even though I have no voice Your thoughtful mind is moved by my hissing Let storms and autumn winds ravage me For the universe rests upon my branches.
Lyrics in English:
You can not catch the light
It's kept inside
The log should scream but instead it crackles, snaps
The forest fairy cannot come to help
Dull-minded flames swallow everything
And a screeching melody echoes
Thick trunks and delicate twigs cry out
When the ancient grove burns
We chop down the grove until the flame still smolders
There is no quarrel, it feeds us
But once the earth is barren
And things go bad, what happens then?
My tree, my tree, even though you have no mouth
Your leaves are flesh and your trunk is bone
The fire gnaws at your flesh at my fireplace
But still, I understand your whisper
The log should scream when it crackles, snaps
The forest fairy cannot come to help
Dull-minded flames swallow everything
And a screeching melody echoes
Thick trunks and delicate twigs cry out
When the ancient grove burns
We chop down the grove until the flame still smolders
There is no quarrel, it feeds us
But once the earth is barren
And things go bad, what happens then?
Men (choir): I am a tree, I am a tree, even though I have no mouth
My leaves are flesh and my trunk is bone
Kate (singer): My tree, my tree, even though you have no mouth
Your leaves are flesh and my trunk is bone
My tree, my tree, even though you have no tongue/voice
Your hissing makes my thoughts rejoice
Let storms and winds ravage you
Don't ask why the coal does not stay hot
I am a tree, I am a tree, even though I have no mouth
My leaves are flesh and my trunk is bone
The fire gnaws at my flesh at your fireplace
But still, you understand my whisper
I am a tree, I am a tree, even though I have no voice
Your thoughtful mind is moved by my hissing
Let storms and autumn winds ravage me
For the universe rests upon my branches.
Mis see on umbes palun?
