[English]

Blue and red

Like I'm watching you and me

Every little thing you said

Led me to fall in love with you

Then you tried to fix me and I wasn't strong

But you are not a composer, I am not your song

Strange chords, different words

How can I mix red and blue together?

Beautiful days and stormy weather

Allay, allay, allay

'Cause blue is blue and red is red

Our past is spinning in my head

But now the colour doesn't matter

You feel blue and and I am better

Now I'm changed

Now I'm stronger than before

Ain't never touching me no more

I'm okay, I'll find my way

How can I mix red and blue together?

Beautiful days and stormy weather

Allay, allay, allay

'Cause blue is blue and red is red

Our past is spinning in my head

But now the colour doesn't matter

You feel blue and and I am better

Allay, allay, allay

Allay, allay, allay
