When ever I see my bountiful lemon tree, I get nostalgic and think about the famous song of the 90s – ‘Lemon Tree’ made popular by Trini López.
Although I love the song, I always wish that it was an optimistic song like the happy, fresh and tangy smell of the lemons!
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 in love, my boy,” my father said to me,
“I fear you’ll find that love is like the lovely lemon tree.”
Chorus:
Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet,
But the fruit of the lemon is impossible to eat.
Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet,
But the fruit of the lemon is impossible to eat.
