‘Treelover’ heet het nummer van La Pachmama Soultribe, dat te horen is aan het einde van de negende aflevering van Groene Verhalen. Soultribe is een project van Lady Angelina en is een internationale groep muzikanten in Antwerpen, Amsterdam en Ibiza.
Voor het nieuwe album “Gypsy Shaman Rainbow Warrior” creëerden ze nummers met invloeden van gipsy, blues, afro, flamenco, Noord Amerikaanse natives, Indiase mantra’s en icaro’s. De teksten gaan over boomknuffelaars, gipsy queens, godinnen en regenboogkinderen, in het Engels, Spaans en Yoruba.
Het nummer Treelover is een licht humoristische gids over hoe je een boom moet knuffelen, wat van pas kan komen in tijden van social distancing.
Treelover
When you see a beautiful tree
Say hello and mention your name
Walk underneeth and honour the leaves
Feel all the branches of this beautiful tree!
Come a bit closer and get on your knees
Smell the earth under the tree
Greet the little insects who live with the tree
The spiders and the mots, the mosquitos and the bees

Come to the woods
Come to the woods

Treehugger
Listen to the wisdom of the ancient woods!
Now you wanna do what you’re coming for
Approaching the trunk and hug this beautiful hunk
But before doing this, you must first know the key:
Ask permission to the spirit of the tree
Close your eyes
Stand still
Open your heart
Open your mind
Put your arms around the tree
Put your heart against the tree
Put your head in front of it
And listen….
The voice of the tree
Is a littlebit weird
Not a voice of a teacher at school
Not a voice of a man with a beard
Its rather a feeling that goes straight into your heart
When you get the teaching of this ancient tree
Wisdomkeeper that helps you become free
honour the wisdom that makes you so happy
wisper a prayer, say thank you to the tree

Listen to the wisdom

Listen to the wisdom of the ancient woods!
