Western Music | Elina Stridh - Blue (Lyric Translation)

This time, it is also a song with a touch of sadness in a gentle tone. Through the melody, it outlines the picture of a peaceful evening. The last soft light of the setting sun hides behind the gradually dark blue clouds in the evening, recalling that paragraph. Feelings, those unforgettable memories that have long been gone, are now just a past that can only be quietly mentioned when the sky is getting darker, and then quietly put down.

This song has also accompanied me in many nights of lovelorn and insomnia in the past few days. Although I still haven't come out, every time I hear this song, I will spontaneously hope that I will look back on the past one day, and it will be like this. Gentle and graceful, to be grateful to show this past in life in a beautiful and graceful appearance.

Same stars and city lights

I'm fighting this stubborn bike through town

Late at night, cold feet and the air still warm

I ride through the passing storms of my life

As before

It happens that I think of you

Of our days with silver linings and summers in bloom

They always end so soon

Truth is, though our days are through

There's a part of me that's a part of you

What was colors and blues

Fade under layers of new

But I'm not sure if I want us to

Same scars but they're different now

They fade with the passing time

As they do, no need to fight

Cold hand and a burning home

You've seen some of the rougher storms of my life

But that was before

I miss the times I spent with you

Our warm nights of stargazing and summers in bloom

They always end so soon

But truth is, though our days are through

There's a part of me that's a part of you

What was colors and blues

Fade under layers of new

But I'm not sure if I want it to

Life will paint new ways

Love will come and go and it will stain

We were colors and blues

We'll be replaced with the new

But I'm not sure if I want us to

Not sure if I want us to
