等你，等天下雨

等你，等天下雨

Waiting for You, Waiting for the Rain

我就在这淫雨霏霏的云梦泽

向着无边的青色漫溯

I am in this rainy Yunmengze

Going upstream to the boundless green

像余光中说的

等你在雨中

在造虹的雨中

As Yu Guangzhong said

Waiting for you in the rain

In the rain that produces the rainbow

2

青草在脚下

而绿在远方

The grass is at the foot

And the green is in the distance

比远方更远的

是你绿油油的眺望

还有湿漉漉的念想

Farther away than the distance

Is your shiny green overlooking

And wet thoughts

3

凌晨四点

思念的风悠然入窗

At four o’clock in the morning

The missing wind leisurely enters the window

雨已停，雨天看你承诺落空

赚钱的忧虑

The rain has stopped, my promise to visit you on a rainy day falls through

Worries about making money

带着快乐面具卷土重来

阳光如此风尘仆仆

Make a comeback with a mask of happiness

In the sunshine I am so fatigued with the journey

4

如果，清醒是一杯酒

我将狂欢，然后糊涂

If sobriety is a glass of wine,

I will rejoice, then get confused

然后在你温柔的风里醉去

独自流浪，不管阴晴

Then I’ll get drunk in your gentle wind

Wandering alone, whether cloudy or sunny

5

你依旧在等待中娴静

静如一朵微笑的睡莲

You are still waiting quietly

As still as a smiling water lily

清香雅致恬然望向风

让风有了方向

Fragrantly,elegantly and quietly looking at the wind

So that the wind has a direction

就这样推迟了心事

推迟了明天

Thus putting off the something on my mind

And putting off tomorrow

-End-
