I pricked my fingers
Aku menusuk jariku
On the thorns
Di duri
And this rain is a-raining hard
Dan hujan ini hujan deras
This sky's gonna beckon Mariah
Langit ini akan mengisyaratkan Mariah
To match my soul
Untuk mencocokkan jiwaku
Rain in the river
Hujan di sungai
Rain in the river
Hujan di sungai
Rain on the river banks
Hujan di tepi sungai
Down my neck
Turunkan leherku
Beads of sweat.
Butiran keringat

Rain on the highway
Hujan di jalan raya
Running clear across New York
Menjalankan jelas di New York
A windsong through the barren trees
Sebuah angin menerobos pepohonan yang tandus
Wild lavender heather
Wild lavender heather
By the railroad sways
Dengan kereta api bergoyang
Listen to the wailing
Dengarkan ratapannya
Of the rain in the river
Dari hujan di sungai
Rain on the river banks.
Hujan di tepi sungai.

Roll, roll
Gulung, gulung
River, rock his soul
Sungai, batu jiwanya
She's calling you
Dia memanggilmu
Rainclouds, rainclouds
Hujan deras, hujan deras
Down his neck
Turunkan lehernya
Down his neck
Turunkan lehernya
Down his neck
Turunkan lehernya
Beads of, beads of, beads of
Manik-manik manik-manik dari manik-manik
Beadso of sweat.
Beadso berkeringat.

Five boys standing
Lima anak laki-laki berdiri
On the baks of thr river
Di baks of thr river
Waiting for the virgin snow
Menunggu salju perawan
Searching for a miracle
Mencari keajaiban
A pearl in an oyster
Sebuah mutiara dalam tiram
And we all looked out to God
Dan kita semua memandang Tuhan
Although He is the colour of the wind
Meski Dia adalah warna angin
Listen to the wailing
Dengarkan ratapannya
Of the rain in the river
Dari hujan di sungai
Rain on the river banks.
Hujan di tepi sungai.
