When I was just a lad of ten, my father said to me,
"Come here and learn 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.


Beneath the lemon tree one day, 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.
我还是个懵懂少年那时，父亲曾对我讲
“这美丽的柠檬树可教你懂得一个道理。”
“孩子，爱情是靠不住的，”父亲对我说，
“你终会发现它跟这柠檬树没什么两样。”

柠檬树多美丽柠檬花真芳香，
可柠檬果子酸涩而不宜吃尝。
柠檬树多美丽柠檬花真芳香，
可柠檬果子酸涩而不宜吃尝。


一天，我和恋人躺于柠檬树下，
她笑容灿烂可羞闭天上的星星。
那个夏天，我俩沉醉在爱河里，　
可她笑声里隐藏着父亲对我的劝谕。

柠檬树多美丽柠檬花真芳香，
可柠檬果子酸涩而不宜吃尝。
柠檬树多美丽柠檬花真芳香，
可柠檬果子酸涩而不宜吃尝。


一天她不辞而别，她带走了太阳。
挣脱黑暗的笼罩，我恍如初醒。
喜新厌旧的情爱故事万古常新。
经一事长一智，我的劝告请你们倾听：

柠檬树多美丽柠檬花真芳香，
可柠檬果子酸涩而不宜吃尝。
柠檬树多美丽柠檬花真芳香，
可柠檬果子酸涩而不宜吃尝。
