Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Willow Tree by Faun from German to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
There was a girl named young Mary
There was a girl named young Mary
Her heart was bold and her mind was free
Her heart was bold and her mind was free
She went to gather poppies red
She went to gather poppies red
far away from her father's shed
far away from her father's shed
how I wish to love!'
how I wish to love!'
She said to her self and the birds above
She said to her self and the birds above
how I wish to know
how I wish to know
If I'd follow my heart, where would I go?'
If I'd follow my heart, where would I go?'
Through the woods and through the fields
Through the woods and through the fields
She went, she went with tired feet
She went, she went with tired feet
She found some rest by a willow tree
She found some rest by a willow tree
that is where my heart will be'
that is where my heart will be
She heard a whisper from behind
She heard a whisper from behind
And on her shoulder hands so kind
And on her shoulder hands so kind
my dear young Mary'
my dear young Mary'
Said the young man all in green
Said the young man all in green
'May I take you to my land?
'May I take you to my country?
far away from all mankind
far away from all mankind
Poppies beauty you've ever seen
Poppies beauty you've ever seen
And all he longed for in your dreams'
And all he longed for in your dreams'
Now if you pass a willow tree
Now if you pass a willow tree
Will you think of young Mary?
Will you think of young Mary?
Her heart was bold, her mind was free
Her heart was bold, her mind was free
And since that day she's never more seen
And since that day she's never seen again
