Перевод песни The apple trees had apples and the fig trees had figs — Holly and the Dead Saints

Oh, the apple trees had apples and the fig trees had figs
When ambition showed its hand in every deed that we did
Now your specter has called you and I’m all alone
And the apple trees are withered and the fig trees are gone
That was the way they came on the day that I stayed
That was the day it rained in all the places we played

The apple trees had apples and the fig trees had figs
This was a day for wailing, for gnashing our teeth
This was a day that must go down in our history

Oh, the apple trees had apples and the fig trees had figs
When we polished every piece
Of every treasure we hid
I wanted to pay your ransom, I wanted to pay your dues
I wanted to call you “handsome” I wanted to be like you

Oh, the apple trees had apples and the fig trees had figs
When we chanted our mantras and danced lively jigs

Oh, the apple trees had apples and the fig trees had figs
When the world was our oyster
And all our plans were big
But now we’ve grown much older, our bodies aren’t so strong
And the apple trees are withered and the fig trees are gone

Oh, the apple trees had apples and the fig trees had figs
When ambition showed its hand in every deed that we did
Now your specter has called you and I’m all alone
And the apple trees are withered and the fig trees are gone
