Testo Under the Lime Tree - Angelo Branduardi
Testo della canzone Under the Lime Tree (Angelo Branduardi), tratta dall'album Highdown Fair
Down in the greenwood
Under the lime tree
We spent love's hours
And if you pass by
You'll know we lay there
Look how we crushed all the flowers
The insects buzzed
And the nightingale sang
High above the forest
On a soft south wind
Point and laugh
If you come walking past
I don't care at all
How red her mouth is
Down in the greenwood
Under the lime tree
Crushing the grass and the sweet herbs
There in the roses
I laid my head down
See where the petals are disturbed
And if you accuse her
Of lying there with me
This I know for sure
She will never be ashamed
She was the one
The one and only woman
I ever came to wish
Would whisper my name
Down in the greenwood
Under the lime tree
The lily embraces the ivy
And if you pass by
Stop, look and marvel
At how she has grown to survive him
For she stayed here
With me for just a year
And bound her hair with gold
Oh, my little white dove
One fine day
She turned into a hawk
And flew off to the sun
To find a new love
Up in the blue sky
Ever the wind flies
Searching the clouds
Of his dreamland
The dream is for beauty
But he'll never catch her
She'll always slip through his hands
And thus we live
Forever and a dream
Just like the wind and clouds
Will escape us
Tee-ya-da-ee-dee, dee-da-ee-dee-da
Tee-ya-la-ee-da, la-la-la
Tee-ya-da-ee-dee, dee-da-ee-dee-da
Tee-ya-la-ee-da, la-la-la
And thus we live
Forever and the world
Just like the wind and clouds
Will escape us
