Abgesehen davon, daß "blue"- "traurig" und nicht "blind" heißt, hat die deutsche Version Lena Valaitis gezwitschert.

Die englische kenne ich leider selber nicht.
Aber solche Nummern hat liebend gerne Miss Linda Ronstadt gesungen.
Vielleicht war's die ja auch.

Schön das du so gut englisch kannst Wutzbaer, aber das Lied handelt wirklich von einem blinden Jungen.

Hier ist der englische Songtext (Lena Valaitis hat den Titel auch auf englisch gesungen!):

JOHNNY BLUE
ENGLISH
Germany 1981 / Lena Valaitis
Written by Ralph Siegel & Bernd Meinunger

Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue, we love all your words and music
Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue, singing songs for everyone

He was blind from the first day and prayed there was some way
A blind boy could play children's games
There was never a friend who poor Johnny could turn to
The boys in the town called him names

And teased him: Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue, see the colors of the rainbow
Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue, how the children made him cry

His guitar was an old one, a present from someone
And no one could take it away
He heard all kinds of music and learned how to use it
To make a new song every day

He told them: Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue, here's a song about my rainbow
Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue, all the children sang along

And in no time he found words to rhyme, made for music created with help from above
(Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue, we love all your words and music)
Painting pictures, all in harmony, follow happiness and love
(Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue)

Because out of his darkness came beautiful sunshine
To light up and touch everything
Now his name is a legend and millions of people
Will run to hear Johnny Blue sing

Oh Johnny Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue, we love you the whole world over
Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue, and it's only just begun

Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue, we love all your words and music
Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue, singing songs for everyone

(Blue, Blue, Blue, Johnny Blue,) and it's only just begun
