Olive Tree Lyrics – Toby Martin

Singer: Toby Martin
Title: Olive Tree

I put an olive tree in the garden
‘Cause it reminded me of Lebanon
I don’t ever wanna go back there, that’s where I’m from
I tell my children when they’re listenin’

“This is now your home
Learn the words to the national anthem, sing along.”
La, la, la, la, la…
La, la, la, la, la…

La, la, la, la, la…
La, la, la, la, la…
I passed his room at midnight
Strip of light under the door

I always thought that he was studying
That’s what those books were for
Any father of sons will tell you;
You can’t watch them every hour

Have to let them become the person that they are
I can’t keep track of everything he’s readin’
I can’t keep track of what the priest is saying
I don’t follow him on Fridays

I don’t ask him for what he’s prayin’
Just take him down to the park on Sundays
I feel our connection so profoundly
When he kicks it long, I feel it in my own body

La, la, la, la, la…
La, la, la, la, la…
La, la, la, la, la…
La, la, la, la, la

He came home from school one afternoon
Speechless in his rage
Two boys had told him, “kiss the flag,”
Held him down ’til he obeyed

And, as his face pressed into the dirt
All he could think was how
He always thought that it was his flag too
It isn’t now

Now, one night I had been drinking
And we had an argument
One or two words were spoken
Then out the door, he went

I said, “what’s it got to do with us?
Hezbollah and Hamas
It’s not the devil versus Satan
Who is fighting in Damascus

But at that, he got all high and mighty
And he headed for the door
I said, “do you even know what they’re fightin’ for?”
La, la, la, la, la…

La, la, la, la, la…
La, la, la, la, la…
La, la, la, la, la…
La, la, la, la, la…

La, la, la, la, la…
La, la, la, la, la…
La, la, la, la, la…
La, la, la, la, la…

La, la, la, la, la…
La, la, la, la, la…
La, la, la, la…
La, la, la, la…

La, ah, ah, ah…
Ah, ah, ah…
Now, I hear all this quiet
Nothin’ trembles, nothin’ moves

No distant sound of car bomb
A deathless afternoon
The grass clipped to the edges
And the wheelie bins in line

Why would he wanna throw this all away?
Why would he leave this all behind?
And when they open up the paper and see fundamentalism’s face
Well, I just see a child who had no choice to in the first place

And now, the olive tree is thriving like its been here all along
Next to the English rose that was here when we moved in

Olive Tree – Terjemahan / Translation

Saya meletakkan pohon zaitun di taman
Karena itu mengingatkan saya pada Lebanon
Saya tidak pernah ingin kembali ke sana, dari sanalah saya berasal
Saya memberi tahu anak -anak saya saat mereka mendengarkan

“Ini sekarang rumahmu
Pelajari kata -kata itu untuk lagu kebangsaan, bernyanyi bersama. ”
LA, LA, LA, LA, LA …
LA, LA, LA, LA, LA …

LA, LA, LA, LA, LA …
LA, LA, LA, LA, LA …
Saya melewati kamarnya di tengah malam
Strip cahaya di bawah pintu

Saya selalu berpikir bahwa dia sedang belajar
Untuk itulah buku -buku itu
Bapa putra mana pun akan memberi tahu Anda;
Anda tidak dapat menontonnya setiap jam

Harus membiarkan mereka menjadi orang mereka
Saya tidak bisa melacak semua yang dia baca ‘
Saya tidak bisa melacak apa yang dikatakan imam
Saya tidak mengikutinya pada hari Jumat

Saya tidak meminta dia untuk apa dia berdoa
Bawa saja dia ke taman pada hari Minggu
Saya merasakan hubungan kami dengan sangat mendalam
Ketika dia menendangnya lama, saya merasakannya di tubuh saya sendiri

LA, LA, LA, LA, LA …
LA, LA, LA, LA, LA …
LA, LA, LA, LA, LA …
LA, LA, LA, LA, LA

Dia pulang dari sekolah suatu sore
Terdiam dalam kemarahannya
Dua anak laki -laki mengatakan kepadanya, “Cium bendera,”
Menahannya sampai dia menurut

Dan, saat wajahnya menempel di tanah
Yang bisa dia pikirkan hanyalah caranya
Dia selalu berpikir bahwa itu juga benderanya
Tidak sekarang

Sekarang, suatu malam saya minum
Dan kami bertengkar
Satu atau dua kata diucapkan
Lalu keluar pintu, dia pergi

Saya berkata, “Apa hubungannya dengan kami?
Hizbullah dan Hamas
Ini bukan iblis versus Setan
Siapa yang bertarung di Damaskus

Tapi pada saat itu, dia menjadi tinggi dan perkasa
Dan dia menuju pintu
Saya berkata, “Apakah Anda bahkan tahu apa yang mereka perjuangkan?”
LA, LA, LA, LA, LA …

LA, LA, LA, LA, LA …
LA, LA, LA, LA, LA …
LA, LA, LA, LA, LA …
LA, LA, LA, LA, LA …

LA, LA, LA, LA, LA …
LA, LA, LA, LA, LA …
LA, LA, LA, LA, LA …
LA, LA, LA, LA, LA …

LA, LA, LA, LA, LA …
LA, LA, LA, LA, LA …
LA, LA, LA, LA …
LA, LA, LA, LA …

La, ah, ah, ah …
Ah, ah, ah …
Sekarang, saya mendengar semua ini tenang
Tidak ada gemetar, tidak ada gerakan

Tidak ada suara bom mobil yang jauh
Sore tanpa kematian
Rumput terpotong di tepi
Dan tempat sampah sejalan

Kenapa dia ingin membuang semua ini?
Mengapa dia meninggalkan semua ini?
Dan ketika mereka membuka kertas dan melihat wajah fundamentalisme
Yah, saya hanya melihat seorang anak yang tidak punya pilihan untuk pertama -tama

Dan sekarang, pohon zaitun berkembang seperti sudah ada di sini selama ini
Di sebelah mawar Inggris yang ada di sini saat kami pindah
