Congratulations, rain
you know when to fall
And you know quite well
you belong to spring
Coming at night, quiet
walking in the wind
Making sure things
get good and wet
The clouds hang dark
over country roads
There's one light from a boat
coming downriver
In the red morning
everything's wet
Flowers all through Chengdu
heavy and full of rain.
(Translated by David Young)
I'm feeling like lost in time.
There is a silence flowing around me, circling everywhere.
Yet, something reminds me to keep on believing
That everything has its own time, especially for love.
Like a good rain, it knows when the perfect time to come . .
