Autumn rains always have the power to grab me and carry me into another world, where the wind, the cold, and the fine raindrops reign undisputed. Gone are the sunny summer days. Now is the time for romance and a bit of sentimentality. With a pervasive feeling of loneliness for my lover, I ventured forth in the rain, aimlessly wandering under the huge umbrella, shivering with cold, but feeling warm inside for I knew my lover also longed for me at this same instant. I wanted him so much to be by my side, to share in the moments of togetherness, warmed by his eager embrace. And so I started to sing the song of autumn rain, in the early permeating cold while the raindrops plopping on the umbrella provided the accompaniment. Music divine, enchanting, and so charmingly uplifting. Let me sing, and bring my lover nigh. For he was the only presence that could fill the void in my heart. Together, my love, let us wend our way through the park, our heads closely bound by the gentle lashes of rain between rows of trees ablaze with splendid fall colors. Keep going, darling, keep laughing for there is nothing like walking in the rain together one cold early autumn morning. Just you and me. Will you, sweetheart, sing with me in the rain? |

Trời Mưa Không Có Anh
Trời mưa không có anh
Mưa vẫn rơi nhẹ hột
Cứ nghĩ như có anh
Ôi t́nh tứ biết bao!
Hai hàng cây đổ dốc

You Weren't with Me When the Rain Fell
You weren't with me when the rain fell
The raindrops gently made their noise
I just dreamed that you were with me
O such lovely couple we made!
Between two sloping rows of trees
