Lemon Tree：百无聊赖，怎么办？

Lemon Tree
Fool's Garden

I'm sitting here in a boring¹ room. It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon.
I'm wasting² my time, I got³ nothing to do. I'm hanging⁴ around, I'm waiting for you.
But nothing ever⁵ happens, and I wonder⁶.

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 view⁷. I felt so lonely⁸, 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 turning⁹ my head up and down. 
I'm turning, turning, turning, turning, turning around.
And all that I can see is just another yellow lemon tree.

I'm sitting here, and I miss the power¹⁰. I'd like to go out taking a shower.
But there's a heavy cloud inside¹¹ my mind¹².
I feel so tired, and put myself¹³ into bed. 
Where nothing ever happens, and I wonder.

I'm stepping¹⁴ around in a desert¹⁵ of joy¹⁶. Baby, anyhow¹⁷ I get another toy.
And everything will happen, and you wonder.

And all that I can see is just another lemon tree.
And all that I can see, and all that I can see,
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree. 

赏析

　　“傻子的花园”成立于1992年，由德国的五个小伙子组成，其音乐风格朴实平淡。1996年以一曲《柠檬树》走红全球。
        那5个德国男孩大概没有想到《柠檬树》会被译成中文飘荡在中国的大街小巷；也没有想到这首简单的歌可以横扫德国电台，受到交口称赞。无法具体形容“傻子的花园”到底好在哪里。他们唱成长的烦恼和秋天的落叶；唱青春的跃动和初恋的甜蜜；唱阳光灿烂的好日子，也唱阴雨绵绵的郁闷期，司空见惯的事物在歌声里也变得神奇。平凡也是一种美，淡然中也可以找到真纯。进行着校园的神秘恋情，却让我们都不由自主地投入其中，让这融为自己的情绪，沉浸在字里行间流动的真实与温情。整首歌给人一种淡淡地欢快，什么都不用想，什么都不想做，只想坐在阳光里有一搭没一搭地听这首歌。原来无聊中也有某些有聊的东西。是什么呢？相信你听了这首歌就会知道了……
