[Intro] (female French, smoky, husky) Sous le vieux saule de l'Ognon Sous le vieux saule de l'Ognon [Verse 1] (male English, warm roots reggae baritone) Old willow standing by the stream Older than my oldest dream Watching summers come and go Watching all the waters flow Morning light and evening rain Every year and every change Still it stands beside the shore Like it always did before (female French, smoky, husky) Sous le vieux saule de l'Ognon Le temps devient une chanson [Chorus] (male English, warm roots reggae baritone) Old willow tree Standing by the river free Old willow tree You remember more than me (female French, smoky, husky) Sous le vieux saule de l'Ognon Le temps devient une chanson [Verse 2] (male English, warm roots reggae baritone) Flood and drought and winter snow Things a man may never know Every bird and every breeze Passed beneath its ancient leaves Still it listens, still it sees Still it dances with the breeze Still it stands beside the shore Like it always did before (female French, smoky, husky) Près de l'Ognon lentement Le vieux saule attend son temps [Final Chorus] (male English, warm roots reggae baritone) Old willow tree Standing by the river free Old willow tree You remember more than me Old willow tree Standing by the river free Old willow tree You remember more than me
