Red it hasn't been so long,
the red of red roses.
The color of love and lore,
seems chosen by hate.

That beautiful red once was for me,
the color of passion and of wine.
I want her back, that beautiful time,
but it seems to have passed.

And all the images on tv,
Of blood and war around us,
don't seem to be working for us.

So I'm taking the decision,
I put the paper away,
and the tv is turned off...

Today is red,
the color of your lips,
Today is red,
what is supposed to be red.
Today is red,
from red, white and blue.
from whole my heart for you.
Shout from the red-covered roofs,
that I love you, you see.
Today red is just the love between you and me!
