To the Olive Tree on the Hill

Oh olive tree on the hill,
the wind carries away the flower.
Oh olive tree on the hill,
the wind carries away the flower.
Oh, oh alas, no one carries me away,
Oh, oh alas, to the side of my love.
Oh, oh alas, no one carries me away,
Oh, oh alas, to the side of my love.

Oh olive tree on the hill,
the wind carries away the branch.
