Lyrics & translation
Verse
I wrapped your apple cuttings in damp cloth.
Envolví tus esquejes de manzano en tela húmeda.
The orchard wall lay scattered on the road.
El muro del huerto yacía esparcido por el camino.
I carried neither chair nor wedding silver.
No llevé sillas ni la plata de bodas.
Your sleeping branches made my smallest load.
Tus ramas dormidas fueron mi carga más pequeña.
Chorus
I carried your orchard through winter.
Llevé tu huerto a través del invierno.
No border guard could see its future shade.
Ningún guardia fronterizo podía ver su sombra futura.
Inside my coat a harvest waited quietly.
Dentro de mi abrigo esperaba una cosecha silenciosa.
Verse
A stranger rented me her stone cottage.
Una desconocida me alquiló su casita de piedra.
She lent a spade beside the frozen gate.
Me prestó una pala junto a la puerta helada.
In spring we grafted onto young rootstock.
En primavera injertamos sobre patrones jóvenes.
I learned how long a growing tree can wait.
Aprendí cuánto puede esperar un árbol que crece.
Chorus
I carried your orchard through winter.
Llevé tu huerto a través del invierno.
No border guard could see its future shade.
Ningún guardia fronterizo podía ver su sombra futura.
Inside my coat a harvest waited quietly.
Dentro de mi abrigo esperaba una cosecha silenciosa.
Bridge
Years later, three red apples bent one branch.
Años después, tres manzanas rojas doblaron una rama.
I cut the first upon her kitchen table.
Corté la primera sobre su mesa de cocina.
She asked why I was laughing through my tears.
Preguntó por qué reía entre lágrimas.
I told her everything that I was able.
Le conté todo lo que pude.
Chorus
I carried your orchard through winter.
Llevé tu huerto a través del invierno.
No border guard could see its future shade.
Ningún guardia fronterizo podía ver su sombra futura.
Inside my coat a harvest waited quietly.
Dentro de mi abrigo esperaba una cosecha silenciosa.
