起源

这首歌的历史至少可以追溯至1590年埃德蒙·斯宾塞的《仙后》(Book Three, Canto 6, Stanza 6):[1]

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.

现代情人节常用的歌词则来自1784年的英格兰童谣集《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.[2]

维克多·雨果1862年出版的《悲惨世界》中,芳汀也唱过这首歌,法语为:[3]

Les bleuets sont bleus, les roses sont roses,
Les bleuets sont bleus, j'aime mes amours.
