Basia - An Olive Tree Lyrics
One day, while in the south of France,
My good friend said I should hug an olive tree,
She claimed that dreams come true when you do, but
Can a plant be in any way that beneficial to me?
This time I wanted this to be true
Now picture this:
A silly polish girl in nice
Embracing trees
Wishing for you
Hug an olive tree!
I take it - things are looking good
Still - could be better,
There's always something to improve
Hug an olive tree
I take it - things are looking good
Still - could be better,
There's always something to improve
Oh yes we should
So when you're in the south of France
And you've got dreams,
Look for some magic gardens with olive trees
Though I'm a famous sceptic, feet on the ground,
This time I wanted this to be true
Some olive branch must have heard my desperate heart
'cause I wear the crown
The olive crown, I wear the olive crown
And so do you

Jersey Surf 2K17!!!!!!!!!
Me encanta!!!!
Me pone tan feliz esta canción!
Gdy pierwszy raz usłyszałem Basie, pomyślałem że to nie możliwe by śpiewać piękniej niż ptaki.Pomyliłem się.
ELEKTRONIKA ?!?! POSŁUCHAJ NA ŻYWCA
Saw her back in the day at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles in 1993. It was a day time concert. Bloody unforgettable!
...STILL a great, excellently arranged piece!
Insane giant of a song. Danny White(!)........, so knocked this out of the park the ball is forever in flight. All manner of arrangement, instruments, layers, beat, change-up........., whew. And then this Nonpareil gal Basia............ What else needs to be said?
anyone get tears on how much she kills it on this song? read the lyrics and weep BWUAH!
AGREE! I saw her under the stars back in the day - at the Waikiki Shell back in the day - an unreal night with good friends AND GOOD WINE :)
STILL FRESH !!!!!
7 years later and still my favourite song!! :)
Just posted on facebook and said the same thing!
thanks for asking. i wondered myself
This song kicks ass! An absoulutely fabulous composition!
One of the best songs ever! If everyone could hear this once we would be a better species!
In 1995 I DID go to the south of France, and I DID HUG AN OLIVE TREE with this awesome song playing in my head. An unforgettable memory!
@herbgurl82 - That's another way to say " Damn ! The lady is good ! " Seriously, she is a breath of fresh air, different from the DRECK passing as music today.
"Just another" one of hers - they are all outstanding. I've been thinking - I've been listening to her since....well...well before my first child was born. I danced with my infant son to Basia's music. My dream is to actually see her in concert. Maybe this upcoming tour...
Totally agree with herbgurl82!!!We don't need prozac to improve mood for sure.Just listen to this song!!
I LOVE this song ... and actually did hug an olive tree when outside of Nice with this song in mind many years ago. Saw Basia & her band perform this at the Jones Beach theatre on the water ... an amazing experience I'll never forget.
One of the best songs to play if you are in a bad mood, and need to feel better...
In a class of her own - the metrum and singing immensely diffuclt. There's so much innventiveness and complexity in this arrangement. What a talent!
in my Basia voice... "ONE DAY WHILE IN THE SOUTH OF FRANCE MY GOOD FRIEND SAID I SHOULD HUG AN OLIVE TREE"... i promise yall dont know NUTHIN BOUT DIS!!! Enjoy!
I love Basia's voice, this song is very nice, and the video/pic collection is amazing!congratulations!
oh please give me a break I was simply saying something else and you took it out of context ,and the reason Basia makes her songs in English is the same reason all well known atrists cater to the GREAT USA is because that's where they know they're gonna make the most money at not poland ! God Bless the USA and God bless Basia. as for you....... please find a nice cool place in hell !
I met Basia in 1994 in Dallas, texas. She also liked the sketch portrait that I did of Her.
Hi Basia (piecna kobieta♥ I am studying Polish language. I am very familiar with the Plish culture...my favorite. Now I own the flag with the eagle. I am not offended myself. I love Polish.
"shukam kobieta yak Basia"

I don't want to offend anyone but comments & compliments in english would be easier to understand i may want to give your comment a thumbs UP!
this is a beautiful tune .
JOYEUSES PÂQUES à TOUTES ET à TOUTES MES AMIES/AMIS !!!!!!!
