Lemon tree 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 faith1 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 lemon is impossible to eat
Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the lemon is impossible to eat
One day beneath2 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 laughter3 hid my father's words from me (*)
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 left me for another
It's a common tale4 but true
A sadder man, but wiser now
I sing these words to you (*)

柠檬树 彼得、保罗 & 玛丽三重唱
当我还是个十岁的孩子，父亲告诉我：
"过来一下，这棵美丽的柠檬树可以教你一些事"
"不要相信爱情，我的孩子！"我的父亲对我说
"我怕你将来会发现爱情就像这美丽的柠檬树"
柠檬树，外表美丽，柠檬花儿又甜美
但柠檬的果实却不可能吃下去
柠檬树，外表美丽，柠檬花儿又甜美
但柠檬的果实却不可能吃下去
有一天，我和情人躺在柠檬树下
她笑起来的时候真是甜美
星子们在夜空中升起
我俩迷失在爱中度过了夏日，在那柠檬树下
她的笑声像音乐，使我忘记了父亲的话
有一天，她不告而别，带走了阳光
在她留下的黑暗里，我明白她做了什么
她为了第三者而离开我
这是个平凡而真实的故事
尽管令人伤心，却令人增长智能
让我对你唱出心里的话：
