Purple
The color is beautiful.
This color is a mixture of red and pink.
The color is also purple when purple is purple.
Purple are so many clouds.
Purple is our purse our money.
Purple is already a beautiful color.
Purple is our color for dead flags.
Translated by Gary Sullivan.

Lila
Die Farbe ist schön
Diese Farbe ist ein Gemisch von rot und rosa
Die Farbe ist auch Lila wenn Lila lila ist.
Lila sind so manche Wolken.
Lila ist unsere Geldbörse unser Geld.
Lila ist schon eine schöne Farbe.
Lila ist unsere Farbe der toten Fahnen.

Notes
I'm unsure whether the last line ought to be "Purple is our color of dead flags" or "Purple is our color for dead flags." I originally had the former, but just now changed it to the latter. It feels more right, but I wonder if I'm simply guilty of normalizing a line that isn't quite normal.
