Blanco es el aire entre tú y yo Cada día, cada sol Cada día, cada sol Mi color, tu color Nuestro color Yellow is the color of my true love's hair In the morning when we rise In the morning when we rise That's the time That's the time I love the best. Verde es el trigo del amanecer En el valle de tu piel En el hueco de mi voz Mi color, tu color Nuestro color. Mellow is the feeling that I get When I see her, mmm, hmmm When I see her, mmm, hmmm That's the time That's the time I love the best Libre es el color de la verdad Cuando pienso que no tengo que pensar Cuando sé que vivo por casualidad Mi color, tu color Color verdad. Triste es el color del huracán Cuando suena si te vas Cuando suena si me voy Mi color, tu color Nuestro color Blanco es el aire entre tú y yo Cada día, cada sol
