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》，

即使他做的曲子。

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
