Roses Are Red (My Love)

A long, long time ago
很久很久以前

在畢業的那天
On graduation day
你把你的書遞給我

我在上面寫道
You handed me your book
玫瑰火紅，是我的愛

紫羅蘭嬌豔
I signed this way:
糖果甜蜜，是我的愛
'Roses are red, my love.
卻甜不過你
Violets are blue.
我們在校園里約會

當重要的日子來臨
Sugar is sweet, my love.
我在你的課本里

緊挨著我的名字寫下:
But not as sweet as you.'
'玫瑰火紅，是我的愛

紫羅蘭嬌豔
We dated through high school.
糖果甜蜜，是我的愛

但卻甜不過你'
And when the big day came,
之後我遠走他鄉

而你有了另一個他
I wrote into your book,
我滿懷甜蜜的讀你的來信

給你寫回信：
next to my name:
“玫瑰火紅，是我的愛

紫羅蘭嬌豔
'Roses are red, my love.
糖果甜蜜，是我的愛
Violets are blue.
但願會上帝保佑你”

那是你的小孩嗎
Sugar is sweet, my love.
她長得那麼像你

終有一天也會有個男孩
But not as sweet as you.'
在她的書上寫道：

“玫瑰火紅，是我的愛
Then I went far away
紫羅蘭嬌豔
And you found someone new
糖果甜蜜，是我的愛

但卻甜不過你”
I read your letter dear
And I wrote back to you:
'Roses are red, my love.

Violets are blue.

Sugar is sweet, my love.
Good luck may god bless you.'
Is that your little girl?

She looks a lot like you.

Someday some boy will write
in her book, too.
'Roses are red, my love.

Violets are blue.

Sugar is sweet, my love.
But not as sweet as you.'
