song: Apples Don't Fall Far From The Tree
album: Dark Lady (1974)
singer: Cher
lyrics:

When I was five
I put on Mama's high heel shoes and paint my face
And dance across the living room in Ruby's place
Where the music was always playing
Girls would laugh while the men were sayin'

Apples don't fall far from the tree
Hey, honey come sit on my knee
Apples don't fall far from the tree
And I remember Mama's tears
When they said in a few years
I'd be something to see

At seventeen I had me a diamond
And a string of pearls
The men said they preffered me to the other girls
They took me to the best places
But I could read it on their faces

Apples don't fall far from the tree
Hey, honey come sit on my knee
Apples don't fall far from the tree
And I remember Mama's tears
When they said in a few years
I'd be something to see

Then when Mama died I made up my mind
To get on a Greyhound , get out of this town
And leave it all behind

But life goes on
A child of three smiles up at me
While she plays
The man I love has never heard of Ruby's place
When he holds her with affection
And he uses that old expression

Apples don't fall far from the tree
Hey, honey come sit on my knee
Apples don't fall far from the tree
And I remember Mama's tears
When they said ...

歌词翻译：

五岁时
我偷穿妈妈的高跟鞋
在自己幼稚的脸上抹唇膏
然后在在Ruby's place里一路起舞
那里音乐从不间断
男人们会说，“有其母必有其女啊”
女孩们听了吃吃发笑

“嘿，亲爱的，过来坐我腿上”
“有其母必有其女”
当他们说到几年后我就会变成妈妈那样
我还记得妈妈眼中委屈的泪

十七岁时
我有了第一颗钻石
和一窜珍珠项链
男人们说，他们喜欢我胜过其他女孩
他们带我到各种美丽的地方
但我能从他们的神色发现
“有其母必有其女”

“嘿，亲爱的，过来坐我腿上”
“有其母必有其女”
当他们说到几年后我就会变成妈妈那样
我还记得妈妈眼中委屈的泪

妈妈过世之后
我下定决心
登上长途列车，离开这个小镇
忘记过去

生活仍在继续
三岁的女儿带着微笑抬头看我
她在玩耍时
我爱的男人从未知晓Ruby's place里的一切
当他宠溺地抱着她
他说了那句老谚语——
“有其母必有其女啊”
