Jedna od caletovih omiljenih

Setio sam se veceras refrena jedne pesme koju sam nekada davno imao snimljenu na kaseti. To davno je bilo neke 1986. ili 1987. godine. Kasetu sam slusao na kasetofonu nemacke proizvodnje koji se sada trenutno nalazi na nasoj vikendici na obroncima Fruske Gore. Znam da je ovu pesmu moj tata jako voleo. Da mi nije poznatog i uglednog beogradskog advokata Dr Branimira GOOGLE-a i YouTube-a, tesko da bih tu pesmu ponovo ikad pronasao. A evo jesam!

Lemon Tree
(Peter, Paul & Mary)

When I was just a lad of ten, my father said to me,
Come here and learn a lesson from the lovely lemon tree.
Dont put your faith in love, my boy, my father said to me,
I fear youll 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 a lie
A girl so sweet that when she smiled the sun rose in the sky.
We passed that summer lost in love beneath the lemon tree
The music of her laughter hid my fathers 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.
Shed left me for another, its 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.
