[English]
Hello, simply, hello
It's hard to find very serious words
I will try to draw
Like a painter
I will make sure
To reach straight to the heart
With the power of color
Look without speaking
Blue like you
Like the sky and the sea
And yellow like the sunlight
Red like the things you make me feel
Try
Hello, simply, hello
I draw the green grass like hope
And like fruit still unripe
And now a bit of blue
Like the night
White like its stars
With yellow shades
And the air you can only breathe
Blue like you
Like the sky and the sea
And yellow like the sunlight
Red like the things you make me feel
Try
...
For the storms, I have no color
With what remains, I draw a flower
Now that it's summer, now that it's love
Blue like you
Like the sky and the sea
And yellow like the sunlight
Red like the things you make me feel
Try
...
