Cherry Pink & Apple Blossom White - Song Lyrics / Chart History / Artist Information

Written in 1951 by Mack David and Louigay  It was used in the 1955 movie "Underwater" starring Jane Russell The first recording of the song was performed by Perez Prado (born Damaso Perez Prado 12/11/16 in Mantanzas Cuba and died of a stroke on 9/14/89 in Mexico City, Mexico) Prado was known as "The King Of Mambo" It was and remains the all-time biggest instrumental of the last 50 years, it was on the charts for 26 weeks and held the #1 spot for 10 weeks in 1955 Prado's band occasionally featured a young lead trumpet player named Maynard Ferguson The song that bumped it from #1 was "Rock Around The Clock" by Bill Haley & The Comets, which most music historians agree officially opened the era of Rock & Roll Also in 1955 a cover version with vocals was released by Alan Dale (born Aldo Sigiamundi 7/9/25) This version went to #14 on the charts Dale was a pop singer who hosted his own TV show in 1951, back in the earliest days of television Oracle Band performs this song as an instrumental cha-cha, reminiscent of Perez Prado's original version *******************************   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 feat to enthrall The breezes started their sighs The blossoms started to fall And, as they gently caressed The lovers looked up to find The branches of the two trees Were intertwined And so that's why the poets often write When there's a new moon up above It's cherry pink and apple blossom white When you're in love

Φώτης Πολυμέρης - Βικιπαίδεια

Ξέγνοιαστα παίζανε κρυφτούλι

στις ανθισμένες κερασιές

μια μικρή μ’ ένα μικρούλη

χτίζαν φωλιές

Ώσπου στ’ αστεία ένα βράδυ

σ’ ένα χαρούμενο σκοπό

της λέει μ’ ένα θερμό του χάδι

το σ’ αγαπώ

Ζούσαν αγαπημένοι

ζούσαν ευτυχισμένοι

σαν να 'ταν δυο αηδόνια

σαν να 'ταν χελιδόνια

Και τέλος κάποια μέρα

σε μια εκκλησούλα πέρα

βάλαν στα χέρια βέρα

κι’ οι δυο χρυσή

Γίναν ζευγάρι ταιριασμένο

κι’ από το βράδυ ως το πρωί

ζούσανε βίο μαγεμένο

χρυσή ζωή

Αααααα πάντ’ αρχίζει με κρυφτούλι

μια μικρή μ’ ένα μικρούλη

αααααα δυο ματάκια προκαλούνε

δυο χειλάκια σε φιλούνε

με λόγια ψεύτικα τ’ Απρίλη

γίνεται πάντα η αρχή

κι’ ο έρως έτσι κάποιο δείλι

κυριαρχεί

Ζούσαν αγαπημένοι

ζούσαν ευτυχισμένοι

σαν να 'ταν δυο αηδόνια

σαν να 'ταν χελιδόνια

και τέλος κάποια μέρα

σε μια εκκλησούλα πέρα

βάλαν στα χέρια βέρα

κι’ οι δυο χρυσή

Με αισιόδοξα τραγούδια

πήραν το δρόμο της καρδιάς

και τους στεφάνωσε τ’ αστέρι

κάποιας βραδιάς
