Who can explain the rain
to my satisfaction?
It pours, it drizzles;
it sweeps my forehead
motherly cool while
I am staying in the trench;
it drowns the thirsty soul
of Skid Row; it rusts
time-minded Times Square.
Through a prism of carved
memory the raindrops are
apportioned to my hankering
for the translucent sun.
So I vision rainbows.
My childlikeness
travels forever.
谁能把雨解释得
让我满意?
它狂狂地泼 霏霏地下
它如慈母的手
抚摸战壕中我的面颊;
他淹没流浪者
饥渴的灵魂;
他锈蚀了时代广场中
时间的.钟摆。
透过记忆镂刻的结晶体，
雨点纷纷扑向我
渴望中半透明的阳光。
于是我看到彩虹;
我童稚的天真
永远遨游于湛蓝的太空。
The Rainy Day：雨天
The day is cold,and dark,and dreary;
It rains,and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the moldering wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark and dreary.
My life is cold and dark and dreary;
It rains and the wind is never weary;
My though still cling to the moldering past,
But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast,
And the days are dark and dreary.
Be still,sad heart!And cease repining;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.

天冷、阴暗、沉闷；
下着雨，风也刮个不停；
藤还攀附着颓垣残壁，
每来一阵狂风，枯叶附落纷纷，
天真是阴暗而沉闷。
我的生活寒冷、阴郁、沉闷；
下着雨，风也刮个不停；
我的'思想还纠缠着消逝的往事，
大风里，我的青春希望相继熄灭，
天真是阴暗而沉闷。
安静吧，忧伤的心！别再悔恨；
乌云后面太阳依然辉煌灿烂；
你命运和大家的一样，
每个人一生都得逢上阴雨，
有些日子必然阴暗而沉闷。
<<雨中的旋律--Rhythm Of The Rain>>
Jason Donovan的Rhythm of the rain!!（原唱The Cascades）
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain 听那落雨的旋律
Telling me just what a fool I've been 告诉我我曾经是怎样的傻瓜
I wish that it would go, and let me cry in vain 希望它走开，让我徒然地哭泣
And let me be alone again 让我再次独处
The only girl I care about has gone away 我唯一心系的女孩已经走了
Looking for a brand new start 去寻找她崭新的开始
But little does she know 但她并不知道
That when she left that day 在她离开的`那天
Along with her she took my heart 她也带走了我的心
Rain please tell me now does that seem fair 雨啊，请告诉我这看来是否公平
For her to steal my heart away 她偷走了我的心
When she don't care 而她却毫不在意
I can't love another when my heart's somewhere far away当我的心遗失在那么遥远处，我已无法再爱上别人
Repeat 重复
Rain won't you tell her that I love her so 雨啊，你不告诉她我多爱她吗
Please ask the sun to set her heart a glow 请太阳让她的心发光
Rain in her heart 她心中的雨
And let the love we know start to grow 让我们知道的爱意开始滋长
Repeat 重复
Oh, listen to the falling rain 哦，听那落雨
Pitter-patter, pitter patter 滴滴答答，滴滴答答
Oh, oh, oh 哦，哦，哦
Listen, listen to the falling rain听，听那落雨
