Limón, Limonero
Carlos Cano
Lemon, Lemon Tree
AT THE FEET OF A LEMON TREE IT BLOOMED
A NIGHT THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET IN LIFE
TO A BOY WHO WAS A DANDY HE BOASTED
A GIRL GAVE HIM ALL HER LOVE
HE BELIEVED THAT OATH AND DIDN'T SEE THE FALSEHOOD
AND DROWNS IN THE TORMENT OF FEELING ABANDONED
VOICE 2: AND IN THE SHADOW OF THAT LEMON TREE
THAT ONCE HAPPILY SAW HER SMILE
PLUCKING A LILY LIKE A ROSE SHE SANG LIKE THIS
CHORUS: LEMON TREE, OH LEMON, LEMON TREE
BESIDE YOU A FALSE AND DECEITFUL BOY SAID TO HER
LIKE NO ONE ELSE IN THE WORLD I HAVE LOVED, MOUNTAIN GIRL I LOVE YOU
HAVE PITY ON ME, CALM MY PAIN, OH, LEMON LEMON TREE
MY LEMON TREE, OF MY HEART
INTRO B:
VOICE 1: THROUGH PATHS SOWN WITH BRAMBLES
WITH THE CROSS OF HIS PAIN HE STARTED TO ROLL
AND DROWNED BY THE GALL OF HIS WORRIES
HE CAN NEITHER FORGET NOR FORGIVE
BUT AFTER YEARS THE CURSE WAS FULFILLED
ANOTHER WOMAN BETRAYS HIM JUST LIKE HE BETRAYED
AND IN THE SHADOW OF THAT LEMON TREE
THAT BLOOMED AND TIME DRIED
TODAY THEY'VE SEEN HIM CRYING HIS SORROW
FOR A DECEPTION, GOD'S PUNISHMENT
