Текст песни The evergreen tree (World) (Joanne Shenandoah) с переводом

When the Creator made the earth

All kinds of trees were planted

The maple, birch, oak, hickory, apple, pear

And nut trees and so on The Creator had to tend to other worlds

So He asked the trees to watch over the earth

All trees promised they would watch over the land

The trees waited and waited

For the Creator’s return

They waited many days

And they waited many nights

The trees began to get tired

And they started to fall asleep

They forgot the promise

They had given the Creator

Only the evergreens remained awake

Keeping watch over the earth

When the Creator returned

Only the evergreen trees were still awake

As a reminder to everyone to keep their word

During every fall and winter

All the trees lose their leaves

Except the evergreen trees
