Fygi Laura Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Willow weep for me
Bend your branches green along the stream that runs to sea
Listen to my plea
Listen willow and weep for me
Yes, Gone my lovers dream
Lovely summer dream
Gone and left me here to weep my tears into the stream
Hear me willow and weep for me
Oh, Whisper to the wind and say that love's a sin
Leave my heart a-breaking, and making a moan
Murmur to the night to hide her starry light
So none will find me sighing, crying all alone
Oh, willow weep tree
Weeping sympathy
Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me
When the shadows fall, bend over willow and weep for me
Whisper to the wind and say that love is sin
Leave my heart a-breaking, and making a moan
Murmur to the night to hide her starry light
So none will find me sighing and crying all alone
Yes, willow weep tree
Weeping sympathy
Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me
When the shadows fall, bend over willow and weep for me
Yes
The song "Willow Weep For Me" by Ann Ronell, performed here by Fygi Laura, is a melancholic ballad about lost love and the pain that comes with it. The song addresses a willow tree, asking it to weep for the singer and to listen to her plea. The willow is a symbol of sadness and mourning, which is why the singer takes comfort in the tree's tears. The song begins with the singer describing her feelings of heartbreak, as her lover's summer dream has gone and left her alone to weep. She implores the willow to join her in her sorrow and asks it to bend down its branches to cover her and protect her from the shadows that fall.
As the song progresses, the singer delves deeper into her emotions, asking the wind and the night to hide her pain so that no one can see her crying. The trumpet solo adds to the mournful atmosphere of the song, and the final verses repeat the plea to the willow to cover and protect the singer from her grief. The repetition of the lyrics "weep for me" and "bend your branches" throughout the song creates a haunting melody that stays with the listener long after the song has ended.
Overall, "Willow Weep For Me" is a powerful testament to the pain of lost love and the power of nature to comfort and console us in our sorrow.
