Erykah Badu - Apple tree

Tekst :

I d like to dedicate this to all the children
I have some food in my bag for you
Not the edible food, the food you eat, no
Perhaps some food for thought
Since knowledge is infinite
It has infinitely fell on me, so um...

It was a stormy night, you know the kind where the lightnin strike
And I was hangin out with some my yatzhee friends
ooh wee ooh wee ooh wee
The night was long, the night went on, people coolin out until the break of dawn
Incense was burnin so I m feelin right, aight

See I picks my friends like I pick my fruit
My Ganny told me that when I was only a youth
I don t walk around trying to be what I m not
I don t waste my time trying to get what you got
I work at pleasin me
Cause I can t please you and that s why I do what I do
My soul flies free like a willow tree
doo wee doo wee doo wee

And if you don t want to be down with me, then you don t want to pick from my
apple tree (x3)
And if you don t want to be down, you just don t want to be down

I have a hoe
And I take it everywhere I go
Cause I m plantin seeds so I reaps what I sow, ya know, ya know
On and on, and on and on my (?) keep s movin like a rollin stone
I can t control the soul flowin in me
ooh wee ooh wee

See I picks my friends like I pick my fruit
My Ganny told me that when I was only a youth
I don t walk around trying to be what I m not
I don t waste my time trying to get what ya got
I work at pleasin me
Cause I can t please you and that s why I do what I do
My soul flies free like a willow tree
doo wee doo wee doo wee

And if you don t want to be down with me, you don t want to pick from my apple tree x3
And if you don t want to be down with me, you just don t want to be down
Oh my my my my, oh my my my my, oh my my my my my my my

I picks my friends like I pick my fruit
My Ganny told me that when I was only a youth
I don t walk around trying to be what I m not
I don t waste my time trying to get what you got
I work at pleasin me
Cause I can t please you, and thats why I do what I do
My soul flies free like a willow tree
doo wee doo wee doo wee

And if you don t want to be down with me, you don t want to pick from my apple tree
And if you don t want to be down with me, dum dum diddy
And if you don t want to be down with me, you don t want to pick from my apple tree
And if you don t want to be down with me, you just don t want to be down
You just don t want to be down,
You just don t want to be down

    Feel like making love

    Strollin in the park, watching winter turn to spring
    Walkin in the dark, seein lovers do their thing

    CHORUS
    That s the time I feel like making love to you
    That s the time I feel like making dreams come true

    Me desperto la realidad

    Sentí tristeza al comprender que no fue un sueño,
    que fue verdad, tu te habías ido para siempre,
    me despertó la realidad y fue la muerte de mi alegría,
    y mi ilusión de no perderte.
    ·Con que razón sentí el cansancio de tus besos!,
    te pregunté si todavía me...

    Limbo dance

    Let s go on a holiday
    Let s go to Jamaica
    Flying to Matigo Bay
    Let’s go to Jamaica
    May be fine to hide away
    Let’s go to Jamaica
    We can limbo on the sand
    To the sealband

    [Ref.:] Limbo You limbo I
    Everybody gets a chance
    Come on and move your body down
    Do the limbo dance
    Limbo You limbo I
    Everybody...

    La jolie sardane

    Qu elle est jolie la Sardane
    Que l on danse main dans la main
    Au pays de verts platanes
    Du pays des tramontanes.
    Jeunes filles jeunes gens l aiment bien
    Et même les vieux de leur canne
    La martèlent sur les pierres du chemin...

    Rehab

    Come and have a drink with me
    There s a place in Portobello where a man will talk to me
    Here is a story of success
    As he used to jam with Jimmy untill he was laid to rest
    Ooh, he had to go and lose...
