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.
One day beneath the lemon tree, my love and I did lie
A girl so sweet that when she smiled the stars rose in the sky.
We passed that summer lost in love beneath the lemon tree
The music of her laughter hid my father's words from me:
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.
One day she left without a word. She took away the sun.
And in the dark she left behind, I knew what she had done.
She'd left me for another, it's a common tale but true.
A sadder man but wiser now I sing these words to you:
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.
當我還是一個小伙子十，我的父親對我說，
“過來，並採取應有的教訓，可愛的檸檬樹。”
“不要把你的信仰的愛，我的孩子”，我的父親對我說，
“我怕你會發現愛情就像可愛的檸檬樹。”
檸檬樹非常漂亮，是甜的檸檬花
但其果實是窮人吃檸檬是不可能的。
檸檬樹非常漂亮，是甜的檸檬花
但其果實是窮人吃檸檬是不可能的。
有一天，檸檬樹下，我和我的愛人撒謊
一個女孩如此甜美，當她微笑的星星升起在天空。
那年夏天，我們失去了通過檸檬樹下的愛
她的笑聲，音樂躲在父親的話，從我：
檸檬樹非常漂亮，是甜的檸檬花
但其果實是窮人吃檸檬是不可能的。
檸檬樹非常漂亮，是甜的檸檬花
但其果實是窮人吃檸檬是不可能的。
有一天，她不辭而別。她帶走了太陽。
她在黑暗中留下的，我知道她做了什麼。
她會離開我的另一個，這是一個共同的故事，但卻是事實。
一個憂傷的人，但現在我唱這些明智的話給你：
檸檬樹非常漂亮，是甜的檸檬花
但其果實是窮人吃檸檬是不可能的。
檸檬樹非常漂亮，是甜的檸檬花
但其果實是窮人吃檸檬是不可能的。
