While Your Lips Are Still Red

Found the official lyrics, evidently Jarmo posted them...

Sweet little words made for silence Not talk Young heart for love Not heartache Dark hair for catching the wind Not to veil the sight of a cold world

Kiss while your lips are still red While hes still silent Rest while bosom is still untouched, unveiled Hold another hand while the hands still without a tool Drown into eyes while they`re still blind Love while the night still hides the withering dawn

First day of love never comes back A passionate hours never a wasted one The violin, the poets hand, Every thawing heart plays your theme with care

Kiss while your lips are still red While hes still silent Rest while bosom is still untouched, unveiled Hold another hand while the hands still without a tool Drown into eyes while they`re still blind Love while the night still hides the withering dawn

I don't think it's about death at all. It's about falling in love while you're young, before life happens and you don't have the time anymore.

Like this one song I read from a comic book (Fushigi Yugi:Genbu Kaiden) and it said: "Life is brief maiden, fall in love before the crimson bloom fades from your lips"

Same concept. Kiss, while your lips are still red. While you're still young.

"Rest while bosom is still untouched, unveiled" Still innocent, virginal. Unveiled or unclothed.

"Hold another hand while the hand`s still without a tool" Tool being a metaphor for a job or instrament for a job. Like a briefcase even. So hold hands while you're still kids and have the time to.

"Drown into eyes while they`re still blind" Look into each other eyes while you still only have sights for each other. Blind-Innocent. Not yet seeing the world.

"Love while the night still hides the withering dawn" Night time is party time, in the day you have to get up for work.

I love Marco's voice on this song. The song is the theme for the upcoming movie Leiksa! and seems to be a warning of the 'life is short, live while you can' variety.

Just a question, but are the actual lyrics "Unveiled on another hair"? 'Cause I've always heard "Unveiled, hold another hand"...

the nicest song of nightwish after Tarja got fired.Impressive how Marco changed his vocals for the song.very different of his usual raucous ones and still awesome..:)

I think this song is about first love, and to tell someone you love them before they're gone. I've learned this lesson in my life. 'Kiss while your lips are still red', tell someone you love them before they die, before they're gone. It's about young love and first love, simply as that.

I think it's about loving while you still can, while the person you love is still around, etc. "While your lips are still red" might be referencing how when someone dies their lips turn blue.

I think it's about getting that kiss you want while you still can before death comes and takes away the redness and life in their lips. I love this song. It makes me so sad but somehow not.

okay, i understand about loving while you can, but what about the video? i'm confused... did she get married then cheat, and what happened with the 2 guys? which should she "kiss while her lips are still red?" sry, i'm easily confused...

I think the song is very closely related to the video. The story in the video is that while she is in a relationship with one guy, she falls in love with another. She then parts with the first man for the sake of the other. I think the song tells not to cling too much to an old love if you fall in love with another person. The "while your lips are still red" in my understanding doesnt mean "as long as youre still alive" but "as long as youre still young", like in the first verse: "Young heart for love, not heartache". So the message basically is: Dont be too sad about a broken relationship, but enjoy love, no matter to whom.

while bosom is still untouched, unveiled... evrytime my boyfriend holds my bosom in between his hands, i repeat this sentence in my head...
