Beside The Old Tree Music: traditional, Lyrics: Berk Demiray Arr.: Dhalia
The trompets of war so far in the distance Too far to know that danger remains Landmines were buried beside the soldiers Covered by grassy land
Don't play beside the old mighty tree Watch every step you take - you can't see Landmines still buried under the surface Ready to take your life
Now after the war they try to restore To rebuild the town there's hope in their hearts Building a future so life continues But mines are everywhere
Don't play beside the old mighty tree Watch every step you take - you can't see Landmines still buried under the surface Ready to take your life
Springtime has come one year has passed And nature she wears a wonderful dress Strangers who never asked what has happened Won't know, can't even guess
Don't play beside the old mighty tree Watch every step you take - you can't see Landmines still buried under the surface Ready to take your life
Stars in the sky and no one is out No piercing cry will disturb the night Dream on good children, dream of the day When you'll be in peace outside
You'll play beside the old mighty tree And you will dance around, you'll be free To run through the fields and climb up the hills When danger has left our town
