Not that long ago I was on the run 不是很久以前我在跑

People telling me I should be someone 人们告诉我，我应该是一个人

And the things I'd learned were forgotten in my haste 而且我学到的东西被遗忘在匆忙

Till I reached the end of the rainbow I had chased. 直到我达到了彩虹的尽头我追。

   

It was only water shining in thin air 它是唯一的水在稀薄的空气中闪耀

I put out my hand and there was nothing there 我把我的手并没有什么在那里

After all the promise, after all the prayer 在所有的承诺，毕竟祈祷

It was only water shining in the air. 这只是闪着水在空气中。

   

Now I've got a wife and she sees my through 现在我有一个妻子，她看到我通过

And I've got a friend I can talk straight to 而且我有一个朋友，我可以跟直

And I've got some dreams just a bit more down to earth 和我有一些梦想只是多一点脚踏实地

And I don't forget what a rainbow's really worth. 我不忘记彩虹的真正价值。

   

'Cause it's only water shining in thin air “因为它是唯一的水闪耀在稀薄的空气中

I put out my hand and there was nothing there 我把我的手并没有什么在那里

After all the promise, after all the prayer 在所有的承诺，毕竟祈祷

It was only water shining in the air. 这只是闪着水在空气中。

   

If you want fame and fortune, then you just be my guest 如果你想名利双收，那么你只是我的客人

If you want to pay those dues, I wish you all the best. 如果您想支付的会费，祝你一切顺利。

   

But it's only water shining in the air 但它只是空气中的水闪耀

I put out my hand and there was nothing there 我把我的手并没有什么在那里

After all the promise, after all the care 在所有的承诺，毕竟照顾

It was only water shining in the air. 这只是闪着水在空气中。

   

It was only water shining in the air... 这是只有水闪耀在空中...
