Lyrics
Blue, blue, blue, Johnny blue, alle singen Deine Lieder
Blue, blue, blue, Johnny blue, keiner spielt so schoen, wie Du
Er wuchs auf ohne Freunde, denn keiner wollt' spielen
Mit einem, der blind war, wie er
Und er saß meißt zu Hause. Die Jungen dort draußen
Die riefen nur hinter ihm her
Sie riefen:
Blue, blue, blue, Johnny blue, welche Farbe hat die Sonne?
Blue, blue, blue, Johnny blue, Kinder koennen grausam sein
Auf der alten Gitarre, die ihm jemand schenkte
Da spielte er. Sie war sein Freund
Seine Lieder, die klangen nach Hoffnung und Freude
Und manchmal als ob jemand weint…
Und er sang:
Blue, blue, blue, Johnny blue, welche Farbe hat die Sonne?
Blue, blue, blue, Johnny blue, und die Kinder hoerten zu
Und bald spielte keiner so wie er
Seine Lieder, die gingen den Menschen ans Herz
Und er malte Farben aus Musik
Und vergaß all seinen Schmerz
Und bald kamen zehntausend zu seinen Konzerten
Denn er schenkte ihnen die Kraft
An die Zukunft zu glauben im Dunkel des Lebens
Er hatte es selber geschafft
Oh, Blue, blue, blue, Johnny blue, alle singen Deine Lieder
Blue, blue, blue, Johnny blue, keiner spielt so schoen, wie Du
Blue, blue, blue, Johnny blue, ja, sie kamen immer wieder
Blue, blue, blue, Johnny blue, und die ganze Welt hoert zu
Lyrics translation
Blue, blue, blue, Johnny blue, all sing your songs
Blue, blue, blue, Johnny blue, nobody plays as well as you
He grew up without friends, because nobody wants to play
With one who was blind, like him
And he mostly sat at home. The boys out there
They just called after him
They called:
Blue, blue, blue, Johnny blue, what color is the sun?
Blue, blue, blue, Johnny blue, kids can be cruel
On the old guitar someone gave him
Then he played. She was his friend
His songs, which sounded like Hope and joy
And sometimes as if someone is crying…
And he sang:
Blue, blue, blue, Johnny blue, what color is the sun?
Blue, blue, blue, Johnny blue, and the children listened to
And soon no one played like him
His songs, which went to the heart of the people
And he painted colors from music
And forgot all his pain
And soon ten thousand came to his concerts
For he gave them the strength
Believing in the future in the darkness of life
He had done it himself
Oh, Blue, blue, blue, Johnny blue, all sing your songs
Blue, blue, blue, Johnny blue, nobody plays as well as you
Blue, blue, blue, Johnny blue, yes, they kept coming back
Blue, blue, blue, Johnny blue, and the whole world listens to
