下雨

Let It Rain

下一场雨吧，我在他的嘴唇上
我很弹性，你看我的手指
弹琴的手。

让这位男人讲话，他要到哪里去
我可以离开他的嘴唇
我知道他会走得很快
可怎么样才能从左心室走到右心室

时间太小，我所看望的字体
也瘦可见骨
很久前我在路上，哭诉比较有力
现在下一场雨吧，抑制我
包庇我。

我的衣裳放在手上，和我
有浓雾般的距离

let's have some rain now, i am on his lips
i'm very elastic, just look at my fingers
there on the piano.

just let this man speak, let him go where he wants
i can leave his lips
i know he can walk very fast
but how can you walk from the left 
heart chamber to the right one?

the time is too small, and the characters i go to see are too skinny
just look at their bones
a long time ago when i was on the road, i was weeping in force
now let's have some rain, to restrain
and protect me.

my clothes are there on my hand in the distance
with fog in between
