Color Song

(A vida perdeu a cor quando eu perdi meu amor.)(Life lost it's color when I lost my love.)

O branco é para o casamento que nunca vereiWhite's for the wedding that I'll never see
O azul é para as dores que ela me deuBlue is for heartaches that she gave to me
Verde eram aqueles dois olhos que a levaram emboraGreen were those two eyes that stole her away
Cinza eram os céus escuros naquele dia trágico.Gray were the darks skies on that tragic day.

Preto era o revólver que eu puxei do meu ladoBlack was the gun that I drew from my side
Vermelho fluiu o sangue onde minha falsa amante morreuRed fload the blood where's my false lover's died
Marrom era a terra sob os céus cinzentos acimaBrown was the earth neath the grey skies above
A vida perdeu a cor quando eu perdi meu amor.Life lost it's color when I lost my love.

Preto era a capa do velho juiz naquele diaBlack was the cloak on the old judge that day
Branco era meu rosto quando ele disse que eu tinha que pagarWhite was my face when he said you must pay
Azul eram as lágrimas que eu derramei em mim mesmoBlue were the tears that I shed in myself
Vermelho são as rosas que os outros apreciam.Red are the roses that other folks dwell.

Dourado era meu cabelo quando me condenaram pela primeira vezGold was my hair when they first sentenced me
Vai ser prateado quando me libertaremIt will be silver when they set me free
Foi-se o arco-íris que brilhava lá em cimaGone is the rainbow that shone up above
A vida perdeu a cor quando eu perdi meu amor.Life lost it's color when I lost my love.

A vida perdeu a cor quando eu perdi meu amor...Life lost it's color when I lost my love...
