Fool's Garden幾乎可以和"Lemon Tree"劃等號,從最初組隊到由此曲走紅,Fool's Garden已在地下摸爬滾打了5年,其貌不揚的他們直到德國電台聽眾紛紛點播"Lemon Tree"時才為人所知。1996年這首傳唱至今的經典歌曲讓全世界記住了這個來自德國的年輕樂隊。然而也正是"Lemon Tree"所創造的輝煌巔峰將Fool's Garden推入了已有無數前車之鑑的"One Hit Wonder"的尷尬境地,重蹈覆轍的他們之後音樂再也未能超越"Lemon Tree"這首蜚聲全球的紅曲而漸漸地無人問津了。
英文歌詞
I'm sitting here in a boring room
It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time I got nothing to do
I'm hanging around I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens
And I wonder
I'm driving around in my car
I'm driving too fast I'm driving too far
I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens
And I wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me about the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just another lemon tree
Sing:Da Da Da Da Da Di Da Da
Da Da Da Da Di Da Da
Da Di i Da
I'm sitting here I miss the power
I'd like to go out taking a shower
But there's a heavy cloud inside my head
I feel so tired put myself into bed
Well, nothing ever happens
And I wonder
Isolation is not good for me
Isolation, I don't want to sit on a lemon tree
I'm stepping around in the desert of joy
Baby anyhow I'll get another toy
And everything will happen
And you’ll wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me about the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just another lemon tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree
And I wonder,wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me about the blue blue sky
And all that I can see
And all that I can see
And all that I can see
Is just a yellow lemon tree
中文翻譯
我呆坐在這毫無生氣的房間裡
又是一個陰雨綿綿的周日午後
我空耗著時間無事可做
我坐立難安四處徘徊,等待著你的到來
但你始終沒有出現,我感到詫異鬱悶
我開著車四處遊蕩
我想要儘快遠離這個地方
情願轉移一下我的注意力
只因我感到如此的孤單,我仍在期待你的出現
但你終究沒有出現,我感到詫異鬱悶
我不知所措 我不明所以
分明昨天你還與我談論美麗的天氣
但我眼前所見只有一株金黃的檸檬樹
我晃著腦袋 上下觀望
我轉來轉去 一遍又一遍 一圈又一圈
但如今在我眼前的不過是另一株檸檬樹
(歌)
我呆坐在這 感覺渾身乏力
我想出去淋淋雨
但有一片烏雲縈繞在我腦海中揮之不去
我心力交瘁地躺在床上
你終究未來,只有我一人,我很鬱悶
自我封閉毫無益處
我不想如此孤獨地坐在檸檬樹前
我漫步在快樂的沙洲上
親愛的無論如何我都可能另尋到他愛
那時我所期待的都將發生,鬱悶的或許會是你
我不知所措 我不明所以
分明昨天你還與我談論美麗的天氣
但我眼前所見只有一株金黃的檸檬樹
我晃著腦袋 上下觀望
我轉來轉去 一遍又一遍 一圈又一圈
但如今在我眼前的不過是另一株檸檬樹
我詫異 我鬱悶
我不知所措 我不明所以
分明昨天你還與我談論美麗的天氣
但如今我能看見的
但如今我能看見的
但如今我能看見的
只有一株金黃的檸檬樹

社會影響
同名歌曲Lemon Tree 最早的演唱者是60年代美國最有影響、最出色的民謠三重組合“彼得、保羅和瑪麗”。1962年“彼得、保羅和瑪麗”發行第一張LP唱片《Peter Paul & Mary》。一開始並沒有引起多少人注意,但後來選了其中一首《Lemon Tree》(檸檬樹)作為單曲出版,結果獲得成功,LP的銷量也直線上升。他們純淨的歌聲和典雅的和聲,使民謠的魅力為更廣泛的聽眾意識和接受。
