Музыкальня поэзия  |  "First Of May" -- BEE GEES

В истории популярной музыки не так много примеров песен, в названиях которых присутсвуют даты. Тем более, столь близкое всем трудящимся  Первое мая. Но этот текст несовсем о трудящихся...

Кто ещё, кроме BEE GEES, мог так непосредственно и немного наивно спеть о Первомае в 1969 году?! Главная философия одного из самых ранних текстов BEE GEES такова: "When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall...", "Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small...". Воспоминания о давно ушедших днях и не только...

"First Of May"
BEE GEES

When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,
we used to love while others used to play.
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by,
some one else moved in from far away.

Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small,
and you don't ask the time of day.
But you and I, our love will never die,
but guess we'll cry come first of May.

The apple tree that grew for you and me,
I watched the apples falling one by one.
And I recall the moment of them all,
the day I kissed your cheek and you were mine.

Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small,
and you don't ask the time of day.
But you and I, our love will never die,
but guess we'll cry come first of May.

When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,
do do do do do do do do do...
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by,
some one else moved in from far away
