Vertaling van: Lucie Silvas - Rood

Red isn't the red it used to be
The red of red roses
The scent of love that used-to-be
Seems chosen by hate

That beautiful red was once for me
A color of passion and of wine
I want it back, that sweet time
But it seems flown

And all the images on TV
Of blood and war around us
Don't work with it

So I take a conscious decision
I put the newspaper away
And I turn off the TV

Today Red is the color of your lips
Today red is what red should be
Today is red
The red of red, white and blue
Of all my heart to you
Shout from the redcolored-rooftops that I love you
Today red is again the love between you and me

I walk through the door and outside where the sun begins to shine
I leave everything behind, look forward and with my last money (red coin)
I buy a way to big bouquet of 150 red roses
One for each year of wich I hope to spend with you

Today Red is the color of your lips
Today red is what red should be
Today is red
The red of red, white and blue
Of all my heart to you
Shout from the redcolored-rooftops that I love you
Today red is again the love between you and me
Now you're standing in front of me
The red sunset caresses your face
To me you're a wonder
I think, while a thorn pricks my finger

Red is the colour of my blood, that drops on the floor
And for a moment I seem lost
But you bring my fingers to your mouth

and you kiss them*
And I know

Today Red is the color of your lips
Today red is what red should be
Today is red
The red of red, white and blue
Of all my heart to you
Shout from the redcolored-rooftops that I love you
Today red is again the love between you and me

Today is red (red is)

Roll off the red carpet
And drink a good glass of wine
seize the day because it could just be your last
Today red is just the love between you and me again

Today red again stands for love
between you and me
