I Lost Something in the Hills

[Verse 1]
Every time I shed tears
In the last past years
When I pass through the hills
Oh, what images return
Oh, I yearn
For the roots of the woods
That origin of all my strong and strange moods

[Chorus]
I lost something in the hills
I lost something in the hills

[Verse 2]
I grew up in declivities
Others grow up in cities
Where first love and soul takes rise
There were times in my life
When I felt mad and deprived
And only the slopes gave me hopе

[Verse 3]
When I pass through the leg high grass, I shall diе
Under the jasmine, I shall die
Under the elder tree
I need not try to prepare for a new coming day
Where is it that fills the deepness I feel?
You will say I'm not Robin the Hood
But how could I hide from top to foot

[Chorus]
That I lost something in the hills
I lost something in the hills
Oh, I lost something in the hills

[Verse 4]
Now I lean on my window sill
And I cry, though it's silly
And I'm dreaming of off and away
Oh, I know further west these hills exist
Marked by apple trees
Marked by a straight brook
That leads me wherever I want it to

[Chorus]
Well I lost something in the hills
I lost something in the hills
Oh, I lost something in the hills
