I believe, honoured courts
That you understand The People well
You at least have a job
Your nature is your nature but the law is the law
I believe, distinguished figure, that you studied law
To fairly judge each person
Honour is honour and authority is authority
Let the laws govern, I am all for that.
There wouldn't be this blood, if the law was obeyed
authority is authority and I respect that
There are paragraphs of it, grab it with your hands
So be the same for the devil and the deacon
So be it known
So let them stomp on my fields
and refresh themselves with my plums
The thief always had the upper hand
Because the owl is an owl and a wolf, a wolf
Never enough evil in the world
The droughts ruined my melon
And the ice covered my harvest
Ice is ice, but order is order
And it's gone on too long
I had a forest of Locust trees
Down there by the path
So I waited, what's right is right
Slowly my neighbour
You can't just come in and wreck another's
I said so nicely:
Don't break my Locust tree
Without it the winds will blow me away
Leave it there, I need it to shield me
A secret as golden as a coin
Don't break my Locust tree
I kissed her under it
And barefooted, escaped my sleep
We're people, honoured courts
But let it be as it will be
I am sad of black veils
A tear is tear, but a sword a sword
Don't ask what would happen
If once again, it happened
Don't ask me if I have regrets
hate is hate, but order is order
Let the laws govern
There are paragraphs of it
So grab them with integrity, for the religious and the atheist
Law is law, and I respect it
Because there'd be more murders, than birds
That travel northwards
Don't break my Locust tree
Without them the winds will blow me away
Leave them there, I need them to shield me
A secret as golden as a coin
Don't break my Locust tree
I kissed her under them
Do I have to say it again
Get away from them, otherwise I will have to break you
