Chinar Es (You Are a Plane Tree) - Sharakan Early Music Ensemble

Oh, no one else is happily Recklessly asking for more than What they may need I can't say what I need Oh, temper what you say if you've Nothing nice to say So my grandmother says to me With her heart on her sleeve So, sadly I left the door Open and I let the dog out in the snow Oh where did she go? Oh, father friend, will you punish me, punish me With a look of contempt, with a look of contempt I can recall Oh, I know you did right by me, right by me Wagging your hands when you found me With a bag of your things Please, please don't be a stranger here A stranger who takes from the world Who takes from the world You, you must be a Christmas tree, a Christmas tree You light up the room, oh, you light up the room Oh you light up the room So, suddenly you kiss me You tickled me in front of your mother Who looked away With her hands on her face Don't run away my friend You won't be back again You said you needed me But I know that you needed yourself to be cleaned of me Don't run away my friend You won't be back again You said you needed me But I know that you needed yourself to be cleaned of me Don't run away my friend You won't be back again You ran your hands through my hair in the snow Where the frost of it blows with the terrible ghost Don't run away my friend You won't be back again You said you needed me But I know...

You're feeling isolated And all kinds of frustrated But I love you as you are, love you as you are, yeah And don't worry about the haters You don't fit in those boxes they create And it's tearing you apart, it's tearing you apart, yeah And when you build those walls to keep you safe It's like a prison you can't escape You tear them down, you just might hear me say I love you as you are I love you as you are And when the whole damn world Don't know what they got 'til it's gone, I love you I love you as you are I love you as you are And when the whole damn world Don't know what they got 'til it's gone, I love you I love you as you are You can come out of the shadows They're only scared of what they don't know But I love you as you are, love you as you are, yeah Yeah, you waged this war within yourself Wasting time dying in a shell They don't define you, just know they never will I love you as you are I love you as you are And when the whole damn world Don't know what they got 'til it's gone, I love you I love you as you are (I love you as you are) I love you as you are (as you are) And when the whole damn world Don't know what they got 'til it's gone, I love you I love you as you are, yeah I love you as you are, yeah You're feeling isolated And all kinds of frustrated But I love you as you are, love you as you are, yeah I love you as you are (as you are) I love you as you are (as you are) And when the whole damn world Don't know what they got 'til it's gone, I love you I love you as you are (I love you as you are) I love you as you are (as you are) When the whole damn world Don't know what they got 'til it's gone, 'til it's gone, 'til it's gone Yeah I love you as you are, yeah I love you as you are, yeah And when the whole damn world Don't know what they got 'til it's gone I love you as you are

I am such a sucker, and I'm always the last to know My insides are copper, and I'd kill to make them gold Conversation got me here, another night alone in the city So make my bed the grave and shovel dirt onto my sheets Every friend we ever had in common I will sever the tie, sever the tie with you You can thank your lucky stars That everything I wish for will never come true When you go, I will forget everything about you When you go, I will forget everything about you I have seen sinking ships go down with more grace than you Turn this up, I'll tune you out Another night alone in the city, yeah Fake it like you matter That's a lie we can both keep up Every friend we ever had in common I will sever the tie, sever the tie with you You can thank your lucky stars That everything I wish for will never come true When you go, I will forget everything about you When you go, I will forget everything about you I will forget you (When you go, I will forget everything about you) When you go (I will forget eveyrthing about you) Every friend we ever had in common I will sever the tie, sever the tie with you You can thank your lucky stars That everything I wish for will never come true
