about

Written by Isabelle Seleskovitch (lyrics) & Sébastien Giniaux (music)

lyrics

Almond trees
Buds of white and pink
Blossom on the hills
On branches black as ink

Wild gypsies
Among the flowers bloom
Brown kisses
Blissful lips of doom

Crooked, dry they are
Their fruit both soft and hard
Happy, fierce they stand
With their roots
Down into barren land

Milk takes long to come
And promises can break at dawn
Almond trees may look fearsome
When the morning mist lingers on

Where love is missing
On the black mountain hills
There is no kissing
Among the almond trees

No kissing among
Almond trees
