Love is blue translation attempt (short and easy)
Azul, azul, mi mundo es azul
Mi mundo es de azul porque no te tengo (a ti?)
Gris, gris, mi vida es gris
Esta (es = forever cold?) frio mi corazon porque te me fuiste
(the breaker with the middle pronoun)
Rojos, rojos, mis ojos están rojos (son? for forever)
Llorando por tí tan solo en la cama
Verde, verde, mi corazon celeso
Te dudaba (no creía en tí better?)
Cuando nos conocemos que brillante era el sol
Entonces, se murió nuestro amor, el arcoiris ya no existe
Negras, negras, las noches que las conocía (black black, the nights that I've known)
(make a case for LAS conocía and not conocía without las, IE las noches que conocía)
Me apeteces (I think apetecer is like gustar, and it's me apeteces like me gustas and not te apetezco) muy perdido y tan solo
Se acabó, Se acabó, el amor que teniamos
Azul es mi mundo porque ya no te tengo. (porque vivo sin tí.)

Hi... Here's my two cents:
Azul, azul, mi mundo es azul
Mi mundo es de azul porque no te tengo (a ti?)
Gris, gris, mi vida es gris
Está (es = forever cold?) frío mi corazon porque te me fuiste
(the breaker with the middle pronoun)
Rojos, rojos, mis ojos están rojos (son? for forever)
Llorando De llorar por tí tan solo en la cama
Verde, verde, mi corazón celeso celoso
Te dudaba (no creía en tí better?) Dudaba de tí
Cuando nos conocimos que brillante era el sol
Entonces, se murió nuestro amor, el arcoiris ya no existe
Negra, negra, las noches que las conocía (I don't get this)
(make a case for LAS conocía and not conocía without las, IE las noches que conocía)
Me apeteces (I think apetecer is like gustar, and it's me apeteces like me gustas and not te apetezco) muy perdido y tan solo
Se acabó, se acabó, el amor que nos teníamos
Azul es mi mundo porque ya no te tengo. (porque vivo sin tí.)

Love is blue: link text
Jeezzle said:
Why "Nos teníamos" is it like "yo tengo" and the "Nos" hits home the "WE" part harder like the "YO" does? so that "el amor que teníamos " is right but "El amor que nos teníamos" is better?
El amor que nos teníamos means The love we had for one another, whereas El amor que teníamos means the love that we had. Both are correct but mean different things.
I now understand what you mean. I would express it as: Negras, negras (y oscuras) han sido las noches que he pasado sin ti.
De llorar and no llorando? Why because crying is noun there?
It's an expression. Tengo los ojos rojos de (tanto) llorar. My eyes are red from crying. While in English you use the gerund, in Spanish you use the infinitive.
¡Bien hecho hombres!
Keep in mind, poets and songwriters bend, slur, and twist words to fit the "meter" of what they are writing. Sit with a guitar and play with your work, you will find just a little restructure, (not much ) will fit the song to the music.
( You got me interested i have to try it)
Great usarenzo. 
So I was pretty close with some errors, I have a couple of questions though..
Why "Nos teníamos" is it like "yo tengo" and the "Nos" hits home the "WE" part harder like the "YO" does? so that "el amor que teníamos " is right but "El amor que nos teníamos" is better? Gracias.
As for "the nights I've known" it means like, "I have known many nights without you" Let's say you spend many nights alone, without your wife because she left you. You would "get to know" those nights, ( I wonder if conocer works there?) Those nights are like people, like only the darkness of those nights to keep you company. Just you and the nights. So "The nights I've known" So I was thinking "Las noches que las conocía" Is it wrong? Or can you not say it like that? Gracias.
De llorar and no llorando? Why because crying is noun there? Gracias.
