This land always belonged to fruit of our fathers' loins
Sweet berries picked and seeds sown
The moment one older tree fades, one must grow
Which is why all this time we sow on
My daddy was a tree too, mighty and tall
There was no such in vicinity
But age has just taken him, as does with all
Now he searches for infinity
Sadly age is not the only one who likes to take
So does plague which likes children too
And I, my dear daddy, I like to take as well
So I've written this song just for you
You planted seven trees which should have grown tall as well
But having plated seven thousand would it ever matter?
I hope it wouldn't, so you can stop trying and return from wedlock to me
All of your big strong boys are lying in small coffins
While I am lying only in my bed with the living
And even though I say these words with sigh and sorrow
You may meet your boys by each day, even tomorrow
Weather has not been kind to ancient garden
Every year colder winter and drought
Mother nature has never been kind to men
And didn't grow here what was sowed
But while massive trees are not able to sprout
That faster grow little girl's hair
This garden still has some space to plant flowers
And this country a throne to spare
You planted seven seeds, now you ran out of them
No human woman can give birth to your child again
But even without trees some flowers in this garden grow
All your future heroes and kings didn't live long enough
To grow a proper beard or at least tiny scruff
While I have mine, please don't even ask where
So please don't lament, why should you care...
