Kulay Downtown English Translation Lyrics by Hev Abi
The Rose is Red, The Lilac is Blue
The rose is red, the lilac is blue
Whoever gets hit by what we bring, it’s true
Those who see us shallow, their view is wrong
Life without drama, even if it’s not easy
Oh, the rose is red, the lilac is blue
Even if mistakes happen, even if hungry and thirsty
Even if I no longer know what’s coming next
Yesterday’s events have sunk into oblivion
Oh, my eyes are red, my swagger I can’t drop
Ready to step anywhere, staying calm
Because I’m no longer really careful, slowly rising
Hard to keep up, things happen too fast, getting used
To just answering what I didn’t ask
Oh, I don’t want to stay here, where should I go?
The attention I gave to music, it bore fruit, no looking back
Apologies to those who were wronged, even if you don’t make amends
I don’t want to add more to those who always take
I’m still the same even if my behavior is rough, just as I was before
Oh, the rose is red, the lilac is blue
Whoever gets hit by what we bring, it’s true
Those who see us shallow, their view is wrong
Life without drama, even if it’s not easy
The rose is red, the lilac is blue
Whoever gets hit by what we bring, it’s true
Those who see us shallow, their view is wrong
Life without drama, even if it’s not easy
Oh, the rose is red, the lilac is blue
Even if mistakes happen, even if hungry and thirsty
Even if I no longer know what’s coming next
Yesterday’s events have sunk into oblivion
Oh, the rose is red
Mixing chemicals until we puke
Flowery words that bubble up
New sounds that seem old, yeah
Oh, the lilac is blue
We’re here, even if they say we’re not
In the eyes, the stain is visible
Paper on our tongues dissolving
The rose is red, the lilac is blue
Whoever gets hit by what we bring, it’s true
Those who see us shallow, their view is wrong
Life without drama, even if it’s not easy
Oh, the rose is red, the lilac is blue
Even if mistakes happen, even if hungry and thirsty
Even if I no longer know what’s coming next
Yesterday’s events have sunk into oblivion
