Language: French (Français)
Our translations: CHI ENG
Il pleut, il pleut, bergère,
Tout là-haut, tout là-bas.
La pluie est si légère
Que l’on ne l’entend pas.
Il pleut ! Cela traverse
Tout le ciel et s’enfuit.
Il pleut ! C’est une averse
D’étoiles dans la nuit.
Il pleut ! Il pleut ! Peut-être
Au firmament qui dort
Un soleil vient de naître
Comme un papillon d’or.
Il pleut ! Ces étincelles
Pour nous font flamboyer
La poudre de ses ailes
Qu’il vient de déployer.
Il pleut, il pleut, mon ange !
Courons là-bas ! Je veux
De cette poudre étrange
Poudrer tes blonds cheveux.

下雨、下雨，牧女，/ 高处低处都下。
Language: Chinese (中文) after the French (Français)
下雨、下雨，牧女，
高处低处都下。
如此毛毛小雨
没听见雨沙沙。
下雨了，它穿过
并逃出了天庭。
下雨，夜间下个
星雨大如盆倾。
下雨、下雨，雨也
在天进入睡眠
像金色的蝴蝶
太阳跃出地面。
下雨，这些火花
对着我们闪烁
就是四处飘撒
翅膀上的粉末。
下雨，下雨，天使
奔向那边！愿把
这粉末多奇异
撒向你的金发。
