Raindrops keep falling on my head

B.J. Thomas sung the Billboard No. 1 theme music in movie Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid,
這次要介紹的是1969年由比傑湯瑪斯(B. J. Thomas)演唱的Billboard冠軍金曲兼電影「虎豹小霸王」()主題曲"Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head"
Raindrops keep falling on my head雨點不斷打在我頭上
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
就像腳太長而床太短的男人
Nothing seems to fit
什麼都不對勁
Those raindrops are falling on my head
雨點不斷打在我頭上
They keep falling
不斷下著

So I just did me some talking to the sun於是,我開始對太陽說話
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
我說,我不喜歡它所安排的事
Sleeping on the job
在工作時間睡覺
Those raindrops are falling on my head
雨點不斷打在我頭上
They keep falling
不斷下著

But there's one thing I know但我知道一件事
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
它們捎來的憂鬱並未將我打敗
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
很快的,快樂前來向我問候

Raindrops keep falling on my head雨點不斷打在我頭上
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red
但那不代表說我的雙眼很快就會變紅
Crying's not for me
哭泣與我無關
Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining
我不會以抱怨來讓雨停止
Because I'm free
因為我自由自在
Nothing's worrying me
沒有什麼事困擾著我

CBS Sony record printed in 1974.

My favourite music is Moon River, Live of Life, Charade, Windmill of your mind...
