When I was small, christmas trees were tall.
我小时候觉得圣诞树很高
we used to love while others used to play.
我们过去总是爱,其他人总是玩
don't ask me why,but time has passed us by.
不要问我原因,时光已经流逝
some one else moved in from far away.
有人从遥远的地方走了过来
(chorus)
now we are tall, christmas trees are small.
现在我们长高了,就觉得圣诞树很矮
and you don't ask the time of day.
你不问我白天的时间
but you and I,our love will never die.
但你和我之间的爱情永不会凋谢
but guess we'll cry come first of May.
但我猜我们会在五一节哭泣
the apple tree that GREw for you and me.
为了你和我种的苹果树
I watched the apples falling one by one.
我看到苹果一个个掉了下来
and I recall the moment of them all.
我回想起它们成长的时刻
the day I kissed your cheek you were mine.
和我吻你脸颊的那天,你是我的
(chorus...)
do do do do do do do do do...
這首歌, 會令你想起很多往事. 因為, 這首歌就是要帶你回去你或已失去的童年. 這首歌的節奏輕慢, 造成了很多給你想念過去的空間. 旋律也是優雅得像是你童年裏最美好的東西. 隨著你的回想, 寫得很感人的歌詞更令你腦海裏不斷的重現在那些最好的, 但又是已過去的事物. Bee Gees 他們三人唱得很輕很柔, 不停的抒動著你的心靈, 為的是給你一個更完美的空間去繼續你的回憶. 如果你認識誰是張國榮, 那你可能也知他的一首名曲 "童年時", 我想這首歌簡直就是First of May 的化身.
曾有一套香港電影"香蕉成熟時" 是以它為主題曲的.
