Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head
Artist：Billy Joe Thomas
Raindrops keep falling on my head,
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed,
Nothing seems to fit.
Those raindrops are falling on my head;
They keep falling.
So I just did me some talking to the sun,
And I said I didn't like the way
he got things done sleeping on the job.
Those raindrops are falling on my head;
They keep falling.
But there's one thing I know----
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me.
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me.
Raindrops keep falling on my head,
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red.
Crying is not for me,
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining.
Because I'm free, nothing's worrying me.
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me.
Raindrops keep falling on my head,
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red.
Crying is not for me,
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining,
Because I'm free, nothing's worrying me.
歌词大意
雨点不断落在我头上
雨点不断落在我头上，
就像一个大个子躺在一张小床上，
一切似乎都不对劲，
雨点不断落在我头上，
雨点不断落下来。
于是我对太阳说，
我不喜欢他那样做——
工作时间睡觉。
雨点一直落在我头上，
雨点不断落下来。
但我知道一件事——
他们带给我的忧郁无法把我打倒。
不久快乐就会来到。
雨点不停地落在我头上，
但这并不意味我的眼圈要变红，
我从来就不哭泣，
因为我从不用抱怨阻止下雨，
因为我自由，无忧无虑。
不久快乐就会来到。
雨点不停地落在我头上，
但这并不意味我的眼圈要变红，
我从来就不哭泣，
因为我从不用抱怨阻止下雨，
因为我自由，无忧无虑。
