一夜的雨声说些什么呢？ 　　
楼上的灯问窗外的树 　　
窗外的树问巷口的车 　　
一夜的雨声说些什么呢？ 　　
巷口的车问远方的路 　　
远方的路问上游的桥 　　
一夜的雨声说些什么呢？ 　　
上游的桥问小时的伞 　　
小时的伞问湿了的鞋 　　
一夜的雨声说些什么呢？ 　　
湿了的鞋问乱叫的蛙 　　
乱叫的蛙问四周的雾 　　
说些什么呢，一夜的雨声？ 　　
四周的雾问楼上的灯 　　
楼上的灯问灯下的人 　　
灯下的人抬起头来说 　　
怎么还没有停啊： 　　
从传说落到了现在 　　
从霏霏落到了湃湃 　　
从檐漏落到了江海 　　
问你啊，蠢蠢的青苔 　　
一夜的雨声说些什么呢？
 
 
What is the rain saying through the night?
The lamp upstairs asks
The tree by the window,
And the tree by the window asks
The car down the lane.
What is the rain saying through the night?
The car down the lane asks
The road to the horizon,
And the road to the horizon asks
The bridge up the stream
What is the rain saying through the night?
The bridge up the steam asks
The umbrella of my boyhood,
And the umbrella of my boyhood asks
The shoes wet inside out.
What is the rain saying through the night?
The shoes wet inside out ask
The frogs croaking all around,
And the croaking frogs ask
The fog falling on all sides.
What is it saying, the rain, all night?
The falling fog asks
The lamp upstairs;
And the lamp upstairs asks
The man under the lamp;
And the man under the lamp
Looks up and asks:
    Why is it still raining
From antiquity till tonight,
From a drizzle to a downpour,
From the eaves to the ocean shore?
I’m asking you, snail-slow moss,
What is the rain saying through the night?
