聽見下雨的聲音

• By: 周杰倫

Lyrics:

[中文]

[English]

竹籬上停留著蜻蜓

Dragonflies rest on the bamboo fence

玻璃瓶裡插滿小小森林

A tiny forest inside a glass bottle

青春嫩綠的很鮮明

The youthful green is bright and vivid

百葉窗折射的光影

The light and shadow reflected by the blinds

像有著心事的一張表情

Like a face with unspoken worries

而你低頭拆信 想知道關於我的事情

And you lower your head to open the letter, wanting to find out about me

青苔入鏡 簷下風鈴 搖晃曾經

Moss enters the frame, the wind chimes under the eaves sway, remembering the past

回憶是一行行無從剪接的風景

Memories are scenes that can't be cut out, one after another

愛始終年輕

Love remains forever young

而我聽見下雨的聲音

And I hear the sound of rain falling

想起你用唇語說愛情

Thinking of how you whispered love with your lips

幸福也可以很安靜

Happiness can also be so silent

我付出一直很小心

I’ve always been careful with my giving

終於聽見下雨的聲音

Finally, I hear the sound of rain falling

於是我的世界被吵醒

And my world is awakened by the noise

就怕情緒紅了眼睛

Afraid that emotions turn to tears

不捨的淚 在彼此的臉上透明

Tears of longing, transparent on both faces

...

...

...

...

百葉窗折射的光影

The light and shadow reflected by the blinds

像有著心事的一張表情

Like a face with unspoken worries

而你低頭拆信 想知道關於我的事情

And you lower your head to open the letter, wanting to find out about me

愛在過境 緣分不停 誰在擔心

Love passes by, fate keeps going, who's worrying?

窗台上滴落的雨滴 輕敲著傷心

Drops falling on the windowsill gently tap the heartbreak

淒美而動聽

Sad and beautiful, yet touching

而我聽見下雨的聲音

And I hear the sound of rain falling

想起你用唇語說愛情

Thinking of how you said love with your lips

熱戀的時刻最任性

In the moments of passionate love, we are most reckless

不顧一切的給約定

Breaking all promises for love

終於聽見下雨的聲音

Finally, I hear the sound of rain falling

於是我的世界被吵醒

And my world is awakened by the noise

發現你始終很靠近

Realizing you’ve always been close

默默的陪在我身邊 態度堅定

Silently staying by my side, with steady resolve

...

...

雨的聲音

The sound of rain

...

...
