Up above me are the skies like the twinkle in your eyes
Di atas sana, langit berkilau seperti sinar di matamu
These things are the colors of the blues
Hal-hal ini adalah warna kesedihan
In the mail your letter came the ink and paper looked the same
Suratmu datang lewat pos, tinta dan kertasnya tampak sama
Blue must be the color of the blues
Birulah warna kesedihan
Bluebird's singin' in the trees seems to sympathize with me
Burung biru bernyanyi di pepohonan seolah merasakan kesedihanku
But he's not singing like he used to do
Tapi dia tidak bernyanyi seperti dulu
The pearly waters in the sea feel as cold as you left me
Air laut yang berkilau terasa sedingin saat kau meninggalkanku
Blue must be the color of the blues
Birulah warna kesedihan
There's a rainbow overhead with more blue than gold and red
Ada pelangi di atas sana dengan lebih banyak biru daripada emas dan merah
Blue must be the color angels choose
Birulah warna yang dipilih para malaikat
A blue dress you proudly wore when you left to return no more
Gaun biru yang kau kenakan dengan bangga saat kau pergi dan tak kembali lagi
Blue must be the color of the blues
Birulah warna kesedihan
Blue days come and blue days go how I feel nobody knows
Hari-hari biru datang dan pergi, bagaimana perasaanku tak ada yang tahu
Life is mighty empty without you
Hidup ini terasa sangat kosong tanpamu
There's a blue note in each song that I sing since you are gone
Ada nada biru di setiap lagu yang aku nyanyikan sejak kau pergi
Blue must be the color of the blues
Birulah warna kesedihan
