玫瑰是紅色的(Roses are red)是一首英格蘭詩歌,也指由這首詩引發出的一系列打油詩。它常被認為是一首愛情詩,也被編成民歌傳唱。
歌詞
這首歌最常見的版本是
:Roses are red,
:Violets are blue,
:Sugar is sweet,
:And so are you.
:玫瑰是紅色的,
:紫羅蘭是藍色的,
:糖是甜的,
:你也是一樣。
起源
這首歌的歷史至少可以追溯至1590年埃德蒙·斯賓塞的《仙后》(Book Three, Canto 6, Stanza 6):
:It was upon a Sommers shynie day,
:When Titan faire his beames did display,
:In a fresh fountaine, farre from all mens vew,
:She bath'd her brest, the boyling heat t'allay;
:She bath'd with roses red, and violets blew,
:And all the sweetest flowers, that in the forrest grew.
現代情人節常用的歌詞則來自1784年的英格蘭童謠集《Gammer Gurton's Garland》:
:The rose is red, the violet's blue,
:The honey's sweet, and so are you.
:Thou are my love and I am thine;
:I drew thee to my Valentine:
:The lot was cast and then I drew,
:And Fortune said it shou'd be you.
維克多·雨果1862年出版的《悲慘世界》中,芳汀也唱過這首歌,法語為:
:Les bleuets sont bleus, les roses sont roses,
:Les bleuets sont bleus, j'aime mes amours.
改編
這首詩還被改編成了諷刺版,例如:
:Roses are red.
:Violets are blue.
:Onions stink.
:And so do you.
:玫瑰是紅色的,
:紫羅蘭是藍色的,
:洋蔥發臭,
:你也是一樣。
馬克思兄弟的電影《趾高氣揚》中則將之改編為:
:Cirrhosis are red,
:so violets are blue,
:so sugar is sweet,
:so so are you.
:肝硬化是紅色的,
:所以紫羅蘭是藍色的,
:所以糖是甜的,
:所以你也是一樣。
使用Discord的網友也將Discord其中之一的設定改編成此詩:
:Roses are red,
:violets are blue,
:discord brought me here,
:and he brought you too.
:玫瑰是紅色的,
:紫羅蘭是藍色的,
:discord帶我來到這
:他也一樣帶你來到這
