轻轻

Softly

吹出一口叹息，

a sigh is blown,

落叶疾奔没入黑夜。

scuttering leaves into the night.

蓦然

Suddenly

一道电闪霹雳

the crisp crack of the lightning's whip

鞭疼了天空

stings the sky

雨（哦，是雨吗）开始飘落。

and the rain (oh, is it rain?) begins.

遍及大地

Across the land

那么的轻盈。

in one lithe movenment,

人们都打开门，

men open their doors,

呼吸着干旱与潮湿的混合体

breathe in the mixture of drought and damp,

仰脸去感受那雨点

lift their faces to feel the drops,

对脚旁溅起的尘土微笑

smile at the dappling dust at their feet,

为着

grateful

溅起的尘土感恩。

for dappling dust.
