Lemon tree

When I was just a lad of ten
當我還是一個十歲的小男孩時
My father said to me;
爸爸曾這樣對我說
Come here and learn a lesson
''你將從這美麗的檸檬樹上”
From the lovely lemon tree:
“學到寶貴的一課'
Don't put your faith in love, my boy
”不要輕易相信愛情，我的孩子“
My father said to me,
我的父親這樣對我說
I fear you'll find that love Is like
”我擔心你會發現愛情就像”
The lovely lemon tree.
“就像這美麗的檸檬樹”

Lemon tree very pretty
”檸檬樹非常漂亮“
And the lemon flower is sweet
”檸檬花散發著芬芳“
But the fruit of the poor lemon
”然而這可憐的檸檬樹的果實“
Is impossible to eat.
”卻並不能吃啊“

Beneath the lemon tree, one day
直到有一天
My love and I did lie,
我和我的愛人躺在樹下
A girl so sweet that when she smiled
一個笑起來那麼甜美的女孩
The sun rose in the sky.
我們一起看著日出

We passed the summer
我們相伴度過夏天
Lost in love beneath the lemon tree,
迷失在檸檬樹下的愛情中
The music of her laughter
她天籟般的笑聲
Hid my fathers words from me.
讓我記不得爸爸的話

“檸檬樹那樣漂亮”
And the lemon flower is sweet
“檸檬花散發著芬芳”
But the fruit of the poor lemon

Is impossible to eat.

One day she left without a word
有一天她頭也不回地離開
She took away the sun
帶走了我的太陽
And in the dark she left behind
在她撕扯開的黑暗中
I knew what she had done.
我終於意識到她做了什麼

She left me for another,
她奔向下一個獵物
It's a common tale but true.
這流言原來是真的
A sadder man but wiser now
悲傷的我變得明了
I sing these words to you.
於是我將這些話唱給你聽

And the lemon flower is sweet
”檸檬花也散發著芬芳“
But the fruit of the poor lemon
”可是啊可憐的檸檬樹的果實“
Is impossible to eat.
”原來是不能吃的“
Lemon tree very pretty
”愛情多麼美妙“

And the lemon flower is sweet
”言語醉人心弦“
But the fruit of the poor lemon
”可是要知道愛情啊“
Is impossible to eat.
“怎麼可以相信呢”
