听歌学英文: 《Rhythm of the Rain》

Title: Rhythm of the Rain
Artist: The Cascades

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain,
Telling me just what a fool I've been.
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain,
And let me be alone again.

The only girl I care about has gone away.
Looking for a brand new start!
But little does she know that when she left that day.
Along with her she took my heart.

Rain, please tell me now. Does that seem fair for her
To steal my heart away when she don't care
I can't love another, when my heart's somewhere far away.

The only girl I care about has gone away.
Looking for a brand new start!
But little does she know that when she left that day.
Along with her she took my heart.

Rain, won't you tell her that I love her so
Please ask the sun to set her heart aglow
Rain in her heart and let the love we knew start to grow.

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain,
Telling me just what a fool I've been.
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain,
And let me be alone again.

Oh, listen to the falling rain--pitter-patter...


歌词大意：

　　听那淅淅沥沥的雨声，它好象在说,我是个傻瓜。 我真希望雨停下来。 让我无望地哭泣， 让我再次孤身单影。
　　我唯一在乎的姑娘已经离去， 去寻找她的新生活。 然而，她不知道， 当她离去的那天， 也将我的心带走。
　　雨呀，请告诉我，那样公平吗？她偷走了我的心， 居然毫不在乎。 我无法再爱别人， 我的心已远远漂向异地。
　　雨呀，你就不能告诉她 我多么地爱她， 请让太阳燃起她心中的爱苗， 让雨滋润她的心田。 让我们爱情之花重新盛开。
　　哦，听那雨声， 噼哩啪啦。
