Why in the world are you so glad?
What do want from me today?
Yes, I'll admit it: I 've been sad;
I yearn to laugh my fears away.
Rain, why are you singing happily?
What is this joy you can't contain?
Your lively, light-soaked melody
Dazzles my trembling windowpane.
Why are you serenading me,
Beckoning me with your refrain?
Rain, I know you're dancing now for me!
Each droplet has a role to play
In this enchanted happenstance,
This wild, remarkable ballet!
Sweet Downpour, yes, I'll have this dance!
Cocooned here I'll no longer stay.
