Hmm
Sunshine blue skies please go away!
The girl has found another (man) and gone away
With her went my future, my life is filled with gloom
So day after day I stay locked up in my room
I know to you it might sound strange,
but I wish it would rain, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
'Cause so badly I wanna (want to) go outside (such a lovely day)
But everyone knows that a man ain't supposed to cry
Listen, I gotta cry 'cause (because) crying eases the pain
Oh yeah, people, this hurt I feel inside
Words could never explain, I just wish it would rain,
oh, let it rain, rain, rain, rain
Let it rain, oh yeah, let it rain
Day-in day-out my tear-stained face
Pressed against the window pane
My eyes search the skies desperately for rain
'Cause rain drops will hide my tear drops
And no one will ever know that I'm crying
Crying when I go outside
To the world outside, my tears I refuse to explain,
Oh, I wish it would rain
Ooh, baby
Let it rain, let it rain
I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes
Oh, let it rain
Oh yeah, yeah, listen
I'm a man and I got my pride
'Til (until) it rains I'm gonna stay inside and let it rain
- les cieux bleus et ensoleillés / Partez!
- remplie de tristesse, mélancolie
- je reste enfermé
- cela pourait vous sembler étrange
- j’aimerais qu’il pleuve
- j’aimerais tellement sortir / c’est une
si belle journée
- ne doit pas pleurer
- il faut que je pleure / soulage la douleur
- cette douleur que je sens à l’intérieur
- qu’il pleuve
- jour après jour / mon visage taché de
larmes
- le carreau de la fenêtre
- cherchent dans le ciel
- cacheront mes larmes
- personne ne saura jamais
- déguiser
- j’ai ma fierté
