Weeping Willow
Zorita Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's you and me again, as we lay down to rest
You put down your flowers and so have I
But it's not the first nor the last goodbye
Another year, another scar
That leaves its trace on who we are
Hang down your branches and soflty sway
But when the leaves go green, with the coming of spring
We'll laugh and forget everything
And we'll drink and dance, dream about romance
Until winter creeps in again
You will survive me, of that I'm sure
And face many more winters to endure
But if you would let me I will lay down and sleep
And listen to the cry of your lonesome weeping
Willow don't refrain, don't let go
Plant your roots deep inside me, flourish and grow
And then when it's time, cast your blossom away
Let it fall down upon me, in my grave
The lyrics of Zorita's song Weeping Willow evoke a sense of sadness and melancholy, as the winter season approaches and the singer is forced to say goodbye to someone close. The first stanza sets the winter scene, as the two of them lay down to rest, both having put down flowers, symbolizing the end of something beautiful. The second stanza laments the passing of time, as each year leaves a scar on them, changing them in some way. The chorus offers a glimmer of hope, that when spring comes, they will forget everything and dream about love and happiness again. The theme of passing time is revisited in the third stanza, where the singer acknowledges that her time may be nearing its end, while the other person still has many more winters to face. The final stanza is addressed to the weeping willow, a symbolic representation of the cycle of life and death. The singer asks the tree to take root inside her, growing and flourishing, and when the time comes for her to pass away, to let the blossoms fall upon her.
In many ways, Weeping Willow can be interpreted as a meditation on mortality, and the way that time transforms us all. The imagery of the changing seasons and the weeping willow tree adds a poetic, almost spiritual dimension to the lyrics, suggesting that there is beauty and meaning to be found in the passing of time, even as it brings sadness and loss. The song's melody is haunting and wistful, perfectly capturing the mood of the lyrics, and the use of the weeping willow as a symbolic motif adds a poignant layer of meaning to the song.

Wintertime has spread its blanket on us

Zorita - Weeping Willow (Macabre Waltz)
лірика:
Зима накрила нас своєю ковдрою
Знову ми з тобою, лягаємо відпочивати
Ви поклали свої квіти, я теж
Але це не перше і не останнє прощання
Ще один рік, ще один шрам
Це залишає свій слід на тому, ким ми є
Звісьте свої гілки і м'яко погойдуйтеся
Поки вітер несе всі наші гріхи
Але коли листя зеленіє, з приходом весни
Ми посміємося і все забудемо
А ми будемо пити і танцювати, мріяти про романтику
Поки знову не підкрадеться зима
Ти мене переживеш, я в цьому впевнений
І доведеться витримати ще багато зим
Але якщо ти дозволиш, я ляжу й засну
І послухай крик свого самотнього плачу
Верба не втримайся, не відпусти
Пусти своє коріння глибоко в мене, розквітай і рости
А потім, коли прийде час, відкиньте свій цвіт
Нехай воно впаде на мене, в мою могилу
