036 Lemon Tree檸檬樹

版本1

Version 1 by Peter, Paul&Mary

When I was just a lad of ten,?my father said to me,

Come here and take?a lesson from the lovely lemon tree.

Don’t put your faith in love, my boy, my father said to me,

I fear you’ll find that love is like the lovely lemon tree.

Lemon tree very pretty,?and the lemon flower is sweet,

but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.

Lemon tree very pretty,?and the lemon flower is sweet,

but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.

版本2

Version 1 by Fool’s Garden愚人花園

I'm sitting here in a boring room. It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon. I'm wasting my time I got nothing to do. I'm hanging around I'm waiting for you

But nothing ever happens. And I wonder.

I'm driving around in my car. I'm driving too fast I'm driving too far. I'd like to change my point of view. I feel so lonely I'm waiting for you

But nothing ever happens. And I wonder.

I wonder how. I wonder why. Yesterday you told me about the blue blue sky. And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree.

I'm turning my head up and down. I'm turning turning turning turning turning around. And all that I can see is just another lemon tree

Sing：Da Da Da Da Da Di Da Da

Da Di i Da

歌曲背景：

Fool's Garden幾乎可以和"Lemon Tree"劃等號(hào)，從最初組隊(duì)到由此曲走紅，F(xiàn)ool's Garden已在地下摸爬滾打了5年，其貌不揚(yáng)的他們直到德國(guó)電臺(tái)聽眾紛紛點(diǎn)播"Lemon Tree"時(shí)才為人所知。1996年這首傳唱至今的經(jīng)典歌曲讓全世界記住了這個(gè)來自德國(guó)的年輕樂隊(duì)。
