First of May - The Bees Gees

Melody（兩小無猜）這套電影，

寫的是兩個小孩情竇初開談起戀愛的故事。

電影有大量調子優美，用字淺白的歌曲，

都是The Bees Gees 創作， 包括

「In the Morning」、「Melody Fair」、

「To Love Somebody」到「First of May」等。

其中的「First of May」，有這兩句歌詞：

「When I was small and Christmas trees were tall...

Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small」，

寫出所有人成長過程中的人生體驗。

Melody 寫的是小孩初戀的故事，

吸引很多年齡較小的觀眾觀看。

很多觀眾會看這套電影多次，

大概直至他們長得高過他們心中的聖誕樹才停止。

"First Of May"

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.

[chorus]

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.

[chorus]

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.
