When all the world is a hopeless jumble                 當世界亂糟糟   毫無希望
And the raindrops tumble all around                      周遭盡是大雨滂沱
Heaven opens a magic lane                                   此時，老天爺開闢一條神奇之路
When all the clouds darken up the sky                   當重重烏雲遮蔽天空
There's a rainbow highway to be found                   此時，可找到一條彩虹大道
Leading from your windowpane                              就從你的窗前
To a place behind the sun                                      導向太陽後面某處
Just a step beyond the rain                                    再一步，雨就拋在身後

Somewhere over the rainbow                                越過彩虹的某處
Way up high                                                        望之遙遠的地方
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby       有個我曾在搖籃曲中聽過的樂土

Somewhere over the rainbow                                 越過彩虹的某處
Skies are blue                                                       天空一片蔚藍
And the dreams that you dare to dream                  而夢，只要你勇於追逐　
Really do come true                                              就真的會實現

One day I'll wish upon a star                                  有一天我要對著星星許願
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me     醒時就會置身遠離烏雲的地方
Where troubles melt like lemondrops                      煩惱會像檸檬汁一般溶化
Away above the chimney tops                                在煙囪上方遙遠之處
That's where you'll find me                                    你將在那裡找到我

Somewhere over the rainbow                                 越過彩虹的某處
Bluebirds fly                                                        青鳥飛翔
They fly over the rainbow                                     牠們能飛越彩虹
Why then, oh why can't I?                                     噢，那我為何不能？
