Ein Baum English translation
von Subway to Sally

I now dont cut my hair anymore,
listen how the leaves are flowing.
The forest plants woods into my heart,
i rise up my arms to the sky,
to stay here forever.


The nails sink downwards,
into the realm of mother earth.
Soon my skin is twisting and braking,
digested many stones and sand,
that's why i become so tired.

A tree, with bugs in my face,
with moss in my hair,
the skin as hard as stone.

Through my fingers the wind is blowing,
was it yesterday or was it today?
The long winter i still was awake,
A sparrow knocks on my skullroof
and hopes for fat booty.

My hair becomes green, the summer comes
with dewdrops and rain
a shiver runs through my stem
i hear them, they are coming
the man with the saws.

A tree, with bugs in my face,
with moss in my hair,
the skin as hard as stone.
