Like a lilac
Floating past in a dream,
the girl floats past me;
Silently she goes further and further,
To the crumbling wall,
Out of the lane in the rain.
象夢中飄過
一支丁香地，
我身旁飄過這女郎；
她靜默地遠了，遠了，
到了頹圮的籬墻，
走盡這雨巷。

In the mournful melody of the rain,
Her color has faded,
Her fragrance has disppeared,
Vanished into the void;
Even her glance like a sigh,
Melancholy like lilacs.
在雨的哀曲中，
消了她的顏色，
散了她的芬芳，
消散了，甚至她的
太息般的眼光，
丁香般的惆悵

Alone holding an oil-paper umbrella,
I wander along a long
Solitary lane in the rain,
Hoping to pass
A girl like a bouquet of lilacs
Gnawed by anxiety and resentment.
撐著油紙傘，獨自
彷徨在悠長，悠長
又寂寥的雨巷，
我希望飄過
一個丁香一樣的
結著愁怨的姑娘
