Comin’ Down in the Rain - Nanci Griffith

Flipped into the wind
随风翻飞 飘向远方
Like the ashes of her cigarette
恰似她指间香烟的余烬
He got scattered thrown on the breeze
他被风吹散 随风飘零
As he tried to forget
在他试图忘却之时
He lost all his heat
他所有的热情都已消逝
And his heart never will be the same
他的心 从此沧海桑田
He got lighter than air
他变得比空气更轻盈
But he'll only come down in the rain
但唯有雨落时 他才会坠落凡间
Strung out and hung out to dry
筋疲力尽 孤立无援
Laughin' under the line
勉强维持着笑容
It's not such a dignified place
这地方不够体面
But he really don't mind
但他真的不在意
He says with his feet on the ground
他说若能脚踏实地
He'd have nothin' to say
就会无话可说
Claims he likes it up there
他说喜欢高处的生活
And he'll only come down in the rain
只有下雨时他才会下来
Comin' down in the rain
在雨中降临
Washin' outta the sky
从天空冲刷而下
Loaded down with the pain
心头载满沉甸甸的伤痛
There just ain't no way to fly
再也无法展翅翱翔
You can read him as clear
你能清晰读懂他
As the wall where he once wrote his name
如同那面他刻过名字的墙
It was right next to hers
就紧挨着她的名字
But it'll only come down in the rain
但只有在雨中才会坠落
Burnin' himself out on a limb
他在险境中燃烧殆尽
Like a leaf in the fall
恰如秋叶，随风飘零
He blazed for awhile
他曾一度光芒万丈
Now he's feelin' all dried up and small
如今却枯萎渺小，黯然神伤
The colors all gone
所有的色彩都已消散
Disappeared near as quick as it came
消逝得如此迅疾，仿佛从未出现
He says he can't stay up
他说他已无法再高飞
But he'll only come down in the rain
但唯有雨落时 他才会坠落凡间
Repeat chorus
重复副歌
You can read him as clear as the wall
你能读懂他 就像读懂那面墙
Where he once wrote his name
他曾在那刻下自己的姓名
It was right next to hers
就紧挨着她的名字
But he'll only come down in the rain
但他只会在雨中降临
