英文歌曲
Just Walking in the Rain
Just walking in the rain, getting soaking we
Torturing my heart by trying to forget.
Just walking in the rain, so alone and blue,
All because my heart still remembers you.
People come to windows.
They always stare at me,
Shaking their heads in sorrow, saying,
“Who can this fool be?”
Just walking in the rain,
Thinking how we met,
Knowing things had changed,
Somehow I cant forget
People come to windows.
They always stare at me.
Shaking their heads in sorrow, saying,
“Who can that fool be?”
Just walking in the rain,
Thinking how we met,
Knowing things had changed,
Somehow I cant forget.
Just walking in the rain...
[参考译文]
走在雨中
我走在雨中,全身都湿透,
试图忘记过去心中多么痛苦,
我走在雨中,沮丧又孤独。
全因我心中仍然思念你。
人们走到窗前,都在盯着我看。
遗憾摇着头问道:
“那个傻瓜是谁?”
我走在雨中,想着我俩的相逢,
回味爱情的变化,
不知为何我难忘掉。
人们走到窗前,都在盯着我看。
遗憾摇着头问道:
“那个傻瓜是谁?”
我走在雨中,想着我俩的相逢,
回味爱情的变化,
不知为何我难忘掉,
我走在雨中……
