英文民歌「Lemon Tree」、「Yesterday Once More」的歌詞及背景?

英文民歌 Lemon Tree
很多人以為 Lemon Tree是Peter, Paul and Mary 創作，其實這首歌是由一首巴西民歌 Meu limão, meu limoeiro 所改編，改編者是位巴西人Will Holt，原唱亦是位巴西人Wilson Simonal。(原曲Meu limão, meu limoeiro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU5OOoZRu2E) Meu limão, meu limoeiro 解作我的檸檬，我的檸檬樹。
這首歌是巴西民歌，巴西是熱帶地方，所以Lemon Tree這首歌也有帶有南美洲風格。
英文歌 Yesterday Once More
首先，Yesterday Once More 應不算是一首民歌，它只是由Carpenters樂隊創作的一首流行曲。所以很難以這歌的所屬地區及這地區的小資料去分析這首歌。Yesterday Once More大意是講述一位女仕懷緬過去收聽收音機的日子的一些軼事。

Lemon Tree歌詞

SING DA DA LA DA DUB DE LA DA
DA LA DA DUB DE LA DA
DUB DE LE DA
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 LA DA DUB DE LA DA
DA LA DA DUB DE LA DA
DUB DE LE DA
I'M SITTING HERE I MISS THE POWER
I'D LIKE TO GO OUT TAKING A SHOWER
BUT THERE'S A HEAVY CLOUD INSIDE MY HEAD
I FEEL SO TIRED PUT MYSELF INTO BED
WHERE NOTHING EVER HAPPENS
AND I WONDER
I'M STEP IN AROUND IN A DESERT OF JOY
BABY ANYHOW I'LL GET ANOTHER TOY
AND EVERYTHING WILL HAPPEN
AND YOU'LL 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 LA DA DUB DE LA DA
DA LA DA DUB DE LA DA
DUB DE LE DA
DA DA LA DA DUB DE LA DA
DA LA DA DUB DE LA DA
DUB DE LE DA
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
AND I WONDER WONDER I WONDER HOW
I WONDER WHY
YESTERDAY YOU TOLD ME ABOUT THE BLUE BLUE SKY
AND ALL THAT I CAN SEE
AND ALL THAT I CAN SEE
AND ALL THAT I CAN SEE IS JUST A YELLOW LEMON TREE
