Olive Tree Letra - Jorge Rivera-Herrans

Before you take another step closer

Before we let our eyes connect

I'd like to tell a story of my husband

I'd like to pay him one last respect

Okay...

Where to begin? How long's it been?

So many years ago, we were just kids

We met in silence here on this island

And I won't forget he'd invite me like this

When the day sleeps, I'll be waiting at the olive tree

All of me wants to be next to you

When the stars shine, then it's our time at the olive tree

Come with me, love

Every night we'd spend our time

Talking for hours we'd watch the sunrise

Oh, I adored him, I'd have died for him

But then the war came and it took him away

While I'm fighting you can find me in the

Olive tree, promise me you know I'll come back to you

When the stars shine, then it's our time at the

Olive tree, I will return, love

Oh, the years passed by

And oh, my tears won't dry

And so I'll move our wedding bed

Away from here

How could you say this?

I built our wedding bed into that olive tree, I gave it all of me, all for you

You don't know how much I've missed you

My gods!

My gods!

It really is you...

Penelope!

Odysseus...

Penelope!

I kept waiting

I kept waiting at the olive tree

My darling, my love

Oh, how I've missed you

How long has it been?

Twenty years...

I'd wait forever for...

You...
