Life marches on, but I've been staying on that island.
(Langston Hughes, translated by Viv)
四月雨歌
让雨水亲吻你
让雨水轻敲你头,以她那千万滴银珠
让雨水唱一支摇篮曲
这雨水降落行道,成了滩滩静谧
这雨水流入沟中,化为汩汩奔流
这雨水,夜晚在我们屋顶奏着小小的眠歌
我爱这雨。

April Rain Song
Let the rain kiss you
Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops
Let the rain sing you a lullaby
The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk
The rain makes running pools in the gutter
The rain plays a little sleep song on our roof at night
And I love the rain.
