L'amour est bleu

"L'amour est bleu" ("Love Is Blue") is a song whose music was composed by André Popp, and whose lyrics were written by Pierre Cour, in 1967. 42 years later it is still a popular tune adapted in many languages and forms. The lyrics are as follows...

Love Is Blue, Blue, blue, my world is blue, blue is my world now I’m without you
Gray, gray, my life is gray, cold is my heart since you went away
Red, red, my eyes are red, crying for you alone in my bed
Green, green, my jealous heart, I doubted you and now we’re apart
When we met how the bright sun shone
Then love died, now the rainbow is gone
Black, black, the nights I’ve known, longing for you so lost and alone
