When I was just a lad of ten, |
| [00:10.830] |
my father said to me, |
| [00:12.540] |
|
| [00:13.510] |
Come here and take a lesson |
| [00:15.700] |
from the lovely lemon tree. |
| [00:18.390] |
|
| [00:18.250] |
Don't put your faith in love, my boy, |
| [00:21.670] |
my father said to me, |
| [00:23.660] |
|
| [00:23.750] |
I fear you'll find that love is like |
| [00:26.840] |
the lovely lemon tree. |
| [00:29.360] |
Lemon tree, very pretty, |
| [00:32.220] |
and the lemon flower is sweet, |
| [00:34.770] |
|
| [00:35.290] |
But the fruit of the lemon |
| [00:37.970] |
is impossible to eat. |
| [00:40.900] |
Lemon tree, very pretty, |
| [00:43.860] |
and the lemon flower is sweet, |
| [00:47.110] |
But the fruit of the lemon |
| [00:49.550] |
is impossible to eat. |
| [00:52.620] |
|
| [00:54.900] |
beneath the lemon tree One day |
| [00:57.510] |
my love and I did lie, |
| [00:59.970] |
|
| [01:00.580] |
A girl so sweet that when she smiled, |
| [01:03.370] |
the stars rose in the sky. |
| [01:05.490] |
|
| [01:06.330] |
We passed that summer lost in love, |
| [01:09.280] |
beneath the lemon tree, |
| [01:11.470] |
|
| [01:12.100] |
The music of her laughter hid |
| [01:15.060] |
my father's words from me. |
| [01:17.610] |
Lemon tree, very pretty, |
| [01:20.400] |
and the lemon flower is sweet, |
| [01:23.320] |
But the fruit of the lemon |
| [01:26.230] |
is impossible to eat. |
| [01:29.130] |
Lemon tree, very pretty, |
| [01:32.090] |
and the lemon flower is sweet, |
| [01:35.030] |
But the fruit of the lemon |
| [01:38.000] |
is impossible to eat. |
| [01:40.510] |
|
| [01:43.100] |
One day she left without a word, |
| [01:45.830] |
she took away the sun. |
| [01:47.560] |
|
| [01:48.570] |
And in the dark she left behind, |
| [01:51.620] |
I knew what she had done. |
| [01:53.520] |
|
| [01:54.560] |
She left me for another, |
| [01:57.120] |
it's a common tale but true, |
| [01:59.470] |
|
| [02:00.210] |
A sadder man, but wiser now, |
| [02:03.190] |
I sing these song to you. |
| [02:06.030] |
