Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White 



父親的唱片裏有一首外國音樂，


英文名叫《Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White》，


後來翻譯成中文《椰子樹下》的歌曲， 


原是法文歌《Cerisier rose et pommier blanc》，


作曲者是來自西班牙Catalan地區的法國人


Louis Guglielmi，藝名叫Louiguy。


法國女歌星Édith Piaf 作詞的名曲《La Vie en Rose》，


即是他做的曲子。



這首歌的法文版和英文版都很叫座，


但是最膾炙人口的，還是由Perez Prado


指揮他的樂隊演奏的這個管弦樂版，


在1955年的排行榜上獨佔鰲頭。



Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White 



It's cherry pink and apple blossom white


When your true lover comes your way


It's cherry pink and apple blossom white


The poets say





The story goes that once a cherry tree


Beside an apple tree did grow


And there a boy once met his bride to be


Long long ago





The boy looked into her eyes,


it was a sight to enthrall


The breezes joined in their sighs, 


the blossoms started to fall


And as they gently carressed, 


the lovers looked up to find


The branches of the two trees were intertwined





And that is why the poets always write


If there's a new moon bright above


It's cherry pink and apple blossom white


When you're in love
 
（父親臥病在床，心裏掛慮他的時候，


也想起小時候，從父親的老唱機裏聼來的許多音樂，


貼在這裡，也做個紀念。）
