[English]

All your life, no

You couldn't be mad about it

...

You've been sailing, sailing oh

You couldn't be sad about it

And it's been all this time

And you haven't lived without it

...

You are shining, shining it seems though

That your life, you've found it

No oh oh oh

But you've never

No, you've never seen the rain

No, oh oh oh

But you've never

No you've never seen the rain

And it gets you down

But that's okay

You've been pushed 'round

You feel the pain

And when you fall

Just lean on me

'Cause you've never known

Never seen, never smelt, never felt

The rain

Rain' never felt the rain, rain, rain

It's a cold dark night and

No ones tryin' to find ya

...

You're just coasting, coasting by

'Cause nothing seems to mind ya

No oh oh oh

But you've never

No, you've never seen the rain

No, oh oh oh

But you've never

No you've never seen the rain

And it gets you down

But that's okay

You've been pushed 'round

You feel the pain

And when you fall

Just lean on me

'Cause you've never known

Never seen, never smelt, never felt

The rain

Rain, never felt the rain, rain, rain

And it gets you down

But that's okay

You've been pushed 'round

You feel the pain

And when you fall

Just lean on me

'Cause you've never known

Never seen, never smelt, never felt

The rain

Rain, never felt the rain, rain, rain

...
