Alone holding an oil-paper umbrella,

　　I wander along a long

　　Solitary lane in the rain,

　　Hoping to encounter

　　A girl like a bouquet of lilacs

　　Gnawed by anxiety and resentment.

　　A girl

　　撐著油紙傘，獨自

　　彷徨在悠長、悠長

　　又寂寥的雨巷，

　　我希望逢著

　　一個丁香一樣地

　　結(jié)著愁怨的姑娘。

　　The colour of lilacs,

　　The fragrance of lilacs,

　　With the worries of lilacs,

　　Feeling melancholy in the rain,

　　Plaintive and hesitating.

　　She wanders along the solitary lane in the rain,

　　Holding an oil-paper umbrella

　　Just as I do,

　　Just like me,

　　她是有

　　丁香一樣的顏色，

　　丁香一樣的芬芳，

　　丁香一樣的憂愁，

　　在雨中哀怨，

　　哀怨又彷徨;

　　她彷徨在這寂寥的雨巷，

　　撐著油紙傘

　　像我一樣，

　　像我一樣地

　　Walking slowly in silence,

　　Aloof, sad and melancholy.

　　Silently she comes closer,

　　Closer, giving me

　　A glance like a sigh;

　　Then she floats past

　　Like a dream,

　　Dreary and blank like a dream.

　　Like a lilac

　　Floating past in a dream,

　　the girl floats past me;

　　Silently she goes further and further,

　　To the crumbling wall,

　　Out of the lane in the rain.

　　In the mournful melody of the rain,

　　Her colour has faded,

　　Her fragrance has disappeared,

　　Vanished into the void;

　　Even her glance like a sigh,

　　Melancholy like lilacs.

　　Alone holding an oil-paper umbrella,

　　I wander along a long

　　Solitary lane in the rain,

　　Hoping to pass

　　A girl like a bouquet of lilacs

　　Gnawed by anxiety and resentment.

　　The Alley in the Rain

　　Holding an umbrella, I'm alone

　　Wandering about the long, long,

　　Lonely alley in the rain,

　　Hoping to encounter

　　A girl who bears her melancholy

　　Like a lilac flower.

　　She has

　　The color of a lilac,

　　The fragrance of a lilac,

　　And the melancholy of a lilac.

　　She looks sorrowful in the rain,

　　Sorrowful and depressed.

　　She paces the lonely alley,

　　Holding an umbrella,

　　Like me,

　　Just like me—

　　Walking quietly and slowly

　　In coldness, solitude and melancholy.

　　Quietly she comes close,

　　Close to me and casts

　　A glance, like a sigh.

　　She drifts away

　　Like a dream—

　　So dreary and deep.

　　Like a lilac flower drifting by

　　In a dream,

　　The girl passes by me;

　　Quietly she is walking away and away,

　　To a broken hedge,

　　To the end of the alley in the rain.

　　In the plaintive tune of the rain

　　Her color fades,

　　Her fragrance disappears,

　　So do her sighing glance

　　And lilac-like melancholy.

　　Holding an umbrella, I'm alone

　　Wandering about the long, long,

　　Lonely alley in the rain,

　　Hoping to see passing by

　　A girl who bears her melancholy

　　Like a lilac flower.

　　默默行著

　　冷漠，凄清，又惆悵。

　　她默默地走近，

　　走近，又投出

　　嘆息一般的眼光

　　她飄過

　　像夢一般地，

　　像夢一般地凄婉迷茫。

　　像夢中飄過

　　一枝丁香地，

　　我身旁飄過這個女郎;

　　她默默地遠了，遠了，

　　到了頹圮的籬墻，

　　走盡這雨巷。

　　在雨的哀曲里，

　　消了她的顏色，

　　散了她的芬芳，

　　消散了，甚至她的

　　嘆息般的眼光

　　丁香般的惆悵。

　　撐著油紙傘，獨自

　　彷徨在悠長、悠長

　　又寂寥的雨巷，

　　我希望飄過

　　一個丁香一樣地

　　結(jié)著愁怨的姑娘。
