第8章 三枚硬币

喷泉中的三枚硬币,寻求幸福的三枚硬币,

满怀希望的三位情侣将它们投入喷泉里,

不知哪枚被喷泉恩典?

喷泉中的三颗心啊,颗颗心儿归心似箭,

喷泉中的硬币清晰可见,

情侣们的心却已飞向罗马那边。

不知哪枚被喷泉恩典?

惟有一枚能如愿以偿,

只有一位能与心上人欢聚一堂,

保佑我吧!保佑我吧!保佑我吧!

Over the Rainbow

Somewhere over the rainbow birds fly.

There is a land that I dreamed over in a lullaby.

Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue.

All the dreams that you dare to dream

Really did come true.

Someday I’ll wish upon a star

And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.

Away above the chimney tops

Where troubles melt like lemon drops,

That‘s where you’ll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high,

Birds fly over the rainbow.

Why why can‘t I?

Someday I’ll wish upon a star

And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.

Away above the chimney tops

Where troubles melt like lemon drops,

That‘s where you’ll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high,

There‘s a land that I dreamed over in a lullaby.
