Ser Árbol

Something spectacular happened: We gradually rose
And exactly at the same time
We sank deeper and deeper into the earth
And so the moment came when we were already small giants

And our treetops pointed straight to the sky
Roots grew under fertile ground
We loved each other in beauty and wildness
We explored each other from within

And so we were inventing new ways to breathe
So we were inventing a new way to imagine
That to see the sky you have to sink into the earth
And there is no ground other than the one that now holds us, in the end, we are a tree

Here at the top we can see
From a stream to the gorge
And we do what needs to be done, we provide shade for those below
No, we never leave, we know well what the journey is

Branches grew like beautiful descendants
When the wind blows, they howl impressively
We only lie in that strange world: The one a beautiful song spoke to us
To keep inventing new ways of existing
So to keep inventing a new way to resist

For our forest is an unstoppable army
Nothing is invisible, nothing untouchable, in the end, we are a tree

My friend Santi told me about a woman who has earned heaven
And now only wants to die like the shadow of a dry tree
To the sun and to the earth and thus return to nature

And our treetops pointed straight to the sky
Roots grew under fertile ground
We loved each other in beauty and wildness
We explored each other from within

And so we were inventing new ways to breathe
So we were inventing a new way to imagine
That to see the sky you have to sink into the earth
And there is no ground other than the one that now holds us, in the end, we are a tree

From today, my love, we are a tree
