First of May是Bee Gees在1969年發行的Lamplight專輯裡的一首歌,我唸高中時Bee Gees在台灣非常受歡迎,很多人都喜歡唱他們的歌, 1980年聖誕節時我們曾在台北公館附近的”稻草人”民歌餐廳唱過這首歌, 經過了快30年,老友和我重唱了這首對我來說特別有意義的歌,5月還沒來臨時先聽聽看吧 ! !

First of May

When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,

當我還小而聖誕樹還高的時候
we used to love while others used to play.

旁人在玩遊戲時我們就在戀愛了
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by,

別問我為什麼 時空已不同了
some one else moved in from far away.
從遠方來的人介入了我們的世界

Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small,

現在我們長高而聖誕樹變小了
and you don't ask the time of day.

你卻不再問我現在是什麼時候了
But you and I, our love will never die,

但親愛的, 我倆的愛是永恆的
but guess we'll cry come first of May.

我想當5月來臨時我們也許會哭泣吧

The apple tree that grew for you and me,

那棵為妳我生長的蘋果樹
I watched the apples falling one by one.

當我看著蘋果一顆接一顆的掉落
And I recall the moment of them all,

我回憶起咱們在一起的每一刻
the day I kissed your cheek and you were gone.

我親吻妳的臉頰那一天也是妳離去的日子

Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small,

現在我們長高而聖誕樹變小了
and you don't ask the time of day.

你卻不再問我現在是什麼時候了
But you and I, our love will never die,

但親愛的, 我倆的愛是永恆的
but guess we'll cry come first of May.

我想當5月來臨時我們也許會哭泣吧
