The asphalt is glistening
When the dust of the day
Will be washed away
The windows are closed
And the rain is dripping
From sill to sill
And down to the ground
When the May rain comes...
Very young are the leaves
Of the trees and the shrubs
And tiny flowers grow!
In the roadside ditch
The laughter of a child
Who's jumping into puddles
Whilst the water trickles
Right over her face
When the May rain comes...
And this is the morning of the year
A rainy green smile
After a long gloomy
Pale winter night
The shouting of the child
Melts into rustling
When the heavy rain
Rushes
From on the high
When the May rain comes
All of this shall be washed away
When the May rain comes...
Green are the streets The asphalt is glistening When the dust of the day Will be washed away The windows are closed And the rain is dripping From sill to sill And down to the ground When the May rain comes... Very young are the leaves Of the trees and the shrubs And tiny flowers grow! In the roadside ditch The laughter of a child Who's jumping into puddles Whilst the water trickles Right over her face When the May rain comes... And this is the morning of the year A rainy green smile After a long gloomy Pale winter night The shouting of the child Melts into rustling When the heavy rain Rushes From on the high When the May rain comes All of this shall be washed away When the May rain comes...
