"Rain Lane"
Holding an oil-paper umbrella, alone
Wandering in the long, long
and lonely rain lane, < /p>
I hope to meet
a girl who is as sad as a lilac
.
She has
the same color as lilac,
the same fragrance as lilac,
the same sadness as lilac,
Sadness in the rain,
Sadness and hesitation;
She is wandering in this lonely rain alley,
Holding an oil-paper umbrella
< p>Like me,Like me
Walking silently
Indifferent, desolate, and melancholy.
She approached silently,
came closer, and cast a
breath-like look
She floated by
Like a dream,
Like a dream, sad and confused.
As if floating in a dream
A branch of lilac,
This girl floated by my side;
She moved away silently , far away,
reached the dilapidated fence,
walked through the rainy alley.
In the mournful song of the rain,
Her color faded,
Her fragrance dispersed,
Dissipated, Even her eyes were as melancholy as lilacs.
Holding an oil-paper umbrella, alone
Wandering in the long, long
and lonely rain alley,
I hope to float< /p>
A lilac-like girl
a sad and resentful girl.
