Lyrics & translation
Verse
The contract sits on the table.
El contrato descansa sobre la mesa.
We fight for the dusty floor.
Peleamos por el suelo polvoriento.
Who gets the keys and walls?
¿Quién se queda con las llaves y las paredes?
I don't know you anymore.
Ya no te reconozco más.
Chorus
But the olive tree is green.
Pero el olivo sigue verde.
It grows above the grey stone.
Crece sobre la piedra gris.
Leaves reaching for the summer sun.
Hojas buscando el sol de verano.
We are never truly alone.
Nunca estamos realmente solos.
But the olive tree is green.
Pero el olivo sigue verde.
It grows above the grey stone.
Crece sobre la piedra gris.
Roots deeper than our bitter words.
Raíces más profundas que nuestras palabras amargas.
We are never truly alone.
Nunca estamos realmente solos.

Climb up to the hot roof.
Sube al techo bajo el calor.
Look at the branches we shared.
Mira las ramas que compartimos.
Grandfather planted this for us both.
El abuelo lo plantó para ambos.
Back when we actually cared.
Cuando aún nos importaba todo.

Put the heavy pens away now.
Guarda los bolígrafos pesados ahora.

El fruto está listo para caer.

La tierra vale más que dinero.
We don't need a lawyer's call.
No necesitamos llamar al abogado.
