Lemon Tree
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 1 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 2 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 3 hid my father*s words from me.
One day she left without a word, she took away the sun.
And in the dark she*d left behind, I knew what she had done.
She left me for another; it*s a common tale 4 but true.
A sadder man but wiser now, I sing these words to you.
- Once again he has broken his faith with them.他又一次对他们不守信义。
- He looked so honest that I accepted his story on faith.他看上去很诚实，我就不加怀疑地相信了他的话。
- Let's have a rest beneath the tree.让我们在树下休息。
- What is beneath your feet?你们脚底下是什么？
- I don't know how my story caused so much laughter.我不知我的故事怎么引起如此大笑。
- The audience gave way to uncontrollable bursts of laughter.听众忍不住发出一阵阵笑声。
