Fools Garden - Lemon Tree 檸檬樹

相信這首西洋老歌大家都不陌生、能哼上兩句吧！歌詞簡單，旋律輕快，至今仍是常常被翻唱的經典曲目。

很小的時候我就聽過這首歌，雖然不知道歌詞，只要點播我還是會開心得跟著音樂哼唱，一段很有趣的記憶，然而看到歌詞以後，才發現這首歌和我的回憶是極大的反差，心境是多鬱悶無奈，想不透為什麼你能看見寬廣的蔚藍天空，而我眼裡只有酸澀的檸檬樹，心中渴望改變，到頭來卻鬼打牆，困在原地。

I'm sitting here in the boring room

待在無趣的房間裡

It's just another rainy Sunday  afternoon

又是個下雨的週日下午

I'm wasting my time

再次虛度光陰

I got nothing to do

沒事好做

I'm hanging around

遊手好閒

I'm waiting for you

等待著你

But nothing ever happens and I wonder

卻什麼也沒發生

I'm driving around in my car

開著車閒晃

I'm driving too fast

開太快

I'm driving too far

開太遠

I'd like to change my point of view

也想改變腦中的想法啊

I feel so lonely

是多麼孤單啊

I'm waiting for you

一直苦等著你

But nothing ever happens and I wonder

但我想什麼也不會改變

I wonder how

想不透如何

I wonder why

想不透為何

Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky

昨天你告訴我那蔚藍天空

And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree

我卻只看見黃色檸檬樹

I'm turning my head up and down

試著顛倒看看

I'm turning turning turning turning turning around

試著左看右看

And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree

我依然只看見檸檬樹

I'm sitting here

坐在這

I miss the power

想念以往的元氣

I'd like to go out taking a shower

也想起身出門、洗個澡

But there's a heavy cloud inside my head

但我彷彿烏雲籠罩

I feel so tired

怎麼也提不起勁

Put myself into bed

只好躺回床上

While nothing ever happens and I wonder

想著又是一成不變的一天

Isolation is not good for me

孤獨一點也不好

Isolation I don't want to sit on the lemon-tree

一點也不想孤單的坐在這檸檬樹上

I'm stepping around in the desert of joy

在這片歡樂沙漠上遊走

Baby anyhow I'll get another toy

不知怎麼我找回了一點新鮮感

And everything will happen and you wonder

你想著這次大概會不一樣吧

I wonder how

想不透是如何

I wonder why

想不透為什麼

Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky

昨天你告訴我那蔚藍天空

And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree

我眼裡卻只有黃色檸檬樹

I'm turning my head up and down

顛倒看看

I'm turning turning turning turning turning around

左看右看

And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree

依然只見黃色檸檬樹

And I wonder, wonder

想不透到底為什麼

I wonder how

想不透如何

I wonder why

想不透為何

Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky

昨天你告訴我那蔚藍天空

And all that I can see, and all that I can see, and all that I can see

而我眼裡只有

Is just a yellow lemon-tree

眼裡卻只有黃色檸檬樹

最近我不禁猜想，那個開心跟著錄音帶哼唱、年幼的我，即使看了歌詞大概也不能明白為什麼是一首苦澀的歌吧，好懷念那個無憂無慮的年紀。
