Minirain & Rainyme

 

夜裡，台北霧濃
下過大雨的盆地，就像個晾不乾的臉盆
揮之不去的陰霾，永無止境的在騎樓邊緣滴滴答答
我記得那個晚上很冷，牛仔褲浸了一半在路上水窪裡
跟那些可愛的男士們吃吃喝喝聊聊天，情侶生活的一天就打算這樣結束
坐在機車後座，可以看見台北的路樹隨風略過
細雨紛飛，很適合思緒泡在今晚吹不散的大霧裡

躲在雨衣後面，風吹起來只是涼涼的
雨飄在臉上，天空到處都是亮晶晶的
溫暖與安穩跟著我，不管拐了幾多個彎
我突然覺得好好呀
很好心情來哼哼歌
想到的居然是那首"A Little Fall Of Rain"

艾潘妮為愛涉險送信，最後被子彈擊中
斷氣前她倒在馬里歐的懷裡，氣若游絲的對他溫柔唱著
Don't you fret, M'sieur Marius
I don't feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt me now
You're here, that's all I need to know
And you will keep me safe
And you will keep me close
And rain will make the flowers grow
死前她終於獲得一個他的懷抱
那是以整個生命為代價換來的

我很慶幸自己比她幸福多了
我想起這首歌只是因為我不是一個人
那也就沒有什麼能傷害我了
霧濃的台北也只是潮濕清冽
我百毒不侵，安穩無虞

Eponine
Don't you fret, M'sieur Marius
I don't feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt me now
You're here, that's all I need to know
And you will keep me safe
And you will keep me close
And rain will make the flowers grow.

Marius
But you will live, 'Ponine - dear God above...
If I could close your wounds with words of love...

Eponine
Just hold me now, and let it be.
Shelter me, comfort me...

Marius
You would live
A hundred years
If I could show you how
I won't desert you now...

Eponine
The rain can't hurt me now
This rain will wash away what's past
And you will keep me safe
And you will keep me close
I'll sleep in your embrace at last
The rain that brings you here
Is Heaven-blessed!
The skies begin to clear
And I'm at rest
A breath away from where you are
I've come home from so far 
Marius [in counterpoint]
So don't you fret, M'sieur Marius
I don't feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt me now Hush-a-bye, dear Eponine
You won't feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt you now
I'm here
That's all I need to know
And you will keep me safe
And you will keep me close
And rain
Will make the flowers... I will stay with you
Till you are sleeping
And rain
Will make the flowers...
Grow.

Eponine
The rain can't hurt me now
This rain will wash away what's past
And you will keep me safe
And you will keep me close
I'll sleep in your embrace at last
The rain that brings you here
Is Heaven-blessed!
The skies begin to clear
And I'm at rest
A breath away from where you are
I've come home from so far
 Marius [in counterpoint]
So don't you fret, M'sieur Marius Hush-a-bye, dear Eponine
I don't feel any pain You won't feel any pain
A little fall of rain A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt me now Can hardly hurt you now
I'm here
That's all I need to know
And you will keep me safe I will stay with you
And you will keep me close Till you are sleeping
And rain And rain
Will make the flowers... Will make the flowers...
Grow.

She dies. Marius kisses her, then lays her on the ground.
