“Colours”

In Loving Memory Of
Haylee Danyelle Mazzella
13.07.01 – 03.06.06

Orange was her favourite drink
A rainbow was her smile
Now all the colour’s disappeared
Since death took my dear child

Sweet dreams I have of pigtails
A small girl dressed in pink
But then I wake and she is gone
And down does my heart sink

Grey it primers my whole world
With such a ghostly pall
Brown’s the earth in which she rests
My sweet pink baby doll

All the pretty shades of pink
That shone round her so bright
Have faded now and been replaced
By shades of black and white

Yellow is the hope long lost
That beckons come home please
White is her light pure and true
That brings me to my knees

Gold settings house the ruby stones
That symbolise her birth
Her ruby stones I wear each day
To symbolise her worth

Red is rage and anger
Which never go to sleep
White and desperate are the tears
My eyes and soul now weep

Deep purple are raw bruises
That bleed within my soul
Pink was my sweet baby
Without her I’m not whole

Grey’s the dog I see through
As I try to find my way
Yellow was the sun that fell
From all my skies that day

A shiny silver locket
For my little girl I wear
Tucked safely in the heart of it
My pretty one’s blonde hair

Crimson is the deep red shade
A mother’s shattered heart
How does it go on beating
When we’re two worlds apart?

Beige are all the sands of time
I somehow must live through
Pink are lovely memories
My heart broken and blue

Rusted was the knife that silced
Right through my soul that day
The wounds have only festered
Since fate took her away

Green’s the colour of the leaves
In her pink garden of flowers
Bouquets I water with my tears
In these grief-stricken hours

In fondest dreams I still see her
My Haylee Girl so dear
The colours of her memory
Remain so bright and clear

And every time you look at me
There’s proof love never dies
For there is my sweet baby girl
Reflected in my eyes

“Colours” - Culori

In Loving Memory Of
Haylee Danyelle Mazzella
13.07.01 – 03.06.06

Orange was her favourite drink
Băutura ei preferată era portocalie
A rainbow was her smile
Zâmbetul ei era un curcubeu
Now all the colour’s disappeared
Acum toate culorile au dispărut
Since death took my dear child
Din momentul în care moartea a răpit copilul meu drag

Sweet dreams I have of pigtails
Visez frumos la codiţe împletite
A small girl dressed in pink
La o fetiţă îmbrăcată în roz
But then I wake and she is gone
Dar apoi mă trezesc şi ea nu mai e
And down does my heart sink
Iar inima mea se scufundă adânc.

Grey it primers my whole world
Griul învăluie lumea mea toată
With such a ghostly pall
Cu o linişte mormântală
Brown’s the earth in which she rests
Maron este pământul sub care se odihneşte
My sweet pink baby doll
Păpuşica mea dulce si roz.

All the pretty shades of pink
Toate nuanţele de roz
That shone round her so bright
Care străluceau în jurul ei atât de vii
Have faded now and been replaced
Au pălit acum şi au fost înlocuite
By shades of black and white
Cu nuanţe de negru şi alb.

Yellow is the hope long lost
Galbenă este speranţa de mult pierdută
That beckons come home please
Care te invită (te roagă) să vii înapoi acasă
White is her light pure and true
Albă este lumina ei pură şi adevărată
That brings me to my knees
Care mă face să îngenunchez.

Gold settings house the ruby stones
În aur sunt păstrate rubinele
That symbolise her birth
Care simbolizează naşterea ei
Her ruby stones I wear each day
Rubine pe care le port în fiecare zi
To symbolise her worth
Pentru a simboliza cât a însemnat pentru mine

Red is rage and anger
Roşii sunt furia şi supărarea
Which never go to sleep
Care nu încetează niciodată
White and desperate are the tears
Albe şi disperate sunt lacrimile
My eyes and soul now weep
Pe care ochii şi sufletul meu le varsă

Deep purple are raw bruises
Mov închis sunt rănile deschise
That bleed within my soul
Care sângerează în sufletul meu
Pink was my sweet baby
Roz a fost scumpul meu copil
Without her I’m not whole
Fară ea mă simt neîmplinită.

Grey’s the fog I see through
Gri este ceaţa prin care pătrund
As I try to find my way
În timp ce încerc să-mi găsesc drumul
Yellow was the sun that fell
Galben era soarele care a apus
From all my skies that day
De pe cerul meu în ziua aceea.

A shiny silver locket
Port un medalion de argint strălucitor
For my little girl I wear
Pentru fetiţa mea
Tucked safely in the heart of it
În interiorul căruia cu grijă am închis
My pretty one’s blonde hair
Părul blond al frumoasei mele

Crimson is the deep red shade
Vişinie este nuanţa de roşu închis
A mother’s shattered heart
A inimii distruse a unei mame
How does it go on beating
Cum de continuă să bată
When we’re two worlds apart?
Când suntem în lumi diferite?

Beige are all the sands of time
Beige sunt nisipurile timpului
I somehow must live through
Pe care trebuie să le trăiesc cumva
Pink are lovely memories
Roz sunt amintirile plăcute
My heart broken and blue
Inima mea este frântă şi tristă.

Rusted was the knife that silced
Ruginit era cuţitul care a despicat
Right through my soul that day
Sufletul meu în ziua aceea
The wounds have only festered
Rănile au supurat conitnuu
Since fate took her away
De când destinul mi-a luat-o.


Green’s the colour of the leaves
Verde este culoarea frunzelor
In her pink garden of flowers
Din grădina ei roz de flori
Bouquets I water with my tears
Pe care le ud cu lacrimile mele
In these grief-stricken hours
În aceste momente de suferinţă.

In fondest dreams I still see her
Încă o văd în vise dragi
My Haylee Girl so dear
Pe Haylee a mea cea scumpă
The colours of her memory
Culorile amintirii ei
Remain so bright and clear
Rămân atât de vii şi clare.

And every time you look at me
Şi de fiecare dată când mă priveşti
There’s proof love never dies
Găseşti dovada că dragostea nu moare niciodată
For there is my sweet baby girl
Pentru că imaginea fetiţei mele dulci
Reflected in my eyes
Se reflectă în ochii mei

thank you very much for the translation

This is Haylee... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9g88qaB70k
She drowned at a family barbeque when her step-grandmother left her unattended in the swimming pool for not even 5 minutes.

"Fog" means "ceaţă", so
Grey’s the dog I see through= Gri este ceaţa prin care pătrund/care îmi apare în cale
