Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head
Burt Bacharach feat. B.J. Thomas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And just like the guy whose feet
Are too big for his bed
Nothing seems to fit
Those raindrops
Are falling on my head
They keep falling
Talking to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way
He got things done
Sleeping on the job
Those raindrops
Are falling on my head
They keep fallin'
But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me
Won't defeat me, it won't be long
'Til happiness
Steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes
Will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me 'cause
I'm never gonna stop the rain
By complaining
Because I'm free
Nothing's worrying me
It won't be long
'Til happiness
Steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes
Will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me 'cause
I'm never gonna stop the rain
By complaining
Because I'm free
Nothing's worrying me

B.J.Thomas - Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head (tradução em portugues )
Gotas de Chuva Continuam Caindo Em Minha Cabeça
Gotas de chuva estão caindo em minha cabeça
E igual ao sujeito
Que já não cabe mais em sua cama
Nada parece se ajustar
Essas gotas de chuva estão caindo em minha cabeça
Elas continuam caindo
Então, eu bati um papo com o Sol
E falei que não gostava do modo
Como ele fazia as coisas
Dormindo no trabalho
Essas gotas de chuva estão caindo em minha cabeça
Elas continuam caindo
Mas eu sei de uma coisa
A tristeza que eles me enviaram
Não me derrotará
Não vai demorar muito até que a felicidade
Venha me cumprimentar
Gotas de chuva continuam caindo em minha cabeça
Mas isso não significa que meus olhos
Em breve ficarão vermelhos
Eu não sou de chorar
Porque eu nunca vou parar a chuva
Reclamando
Porque eu sou livre
Nada me preocupa!
Não vai demorar muito até que a felicidade
Venha me cumprimentar
Gotas de chuva continuam caindo em minha cabeça
Mas isso não significa que meus olhos
Em breve ficarão vermelhos
Eu não sou de chorar
Porque eu nunca vou parar a chuva
Reclamando
Porque eu sou livre
Nada me preocupa!

Raindrops are falling on my head
And just like the guy whose feet
Are too big for his bed
Nothing seems to fit
Those raindrops
Are falling on my head
They keep falling
So I just did me some
Talking to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way
He got things done
He's sleeping on the job
Those raindrops
Are falling on my head
They keep falling
But theres one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me
Won't defeat me it won't be long
Till happiness
Steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes
Will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me cause
I'm never gonna stop the rain
By complaining
Because I'm free
Nothings worrying me
It won't be long
Till happiness
Steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes
Will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me cause
I'm never gonna stop the rain
By complaining
Because I'm free

Raindrops are falling on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothing seems to fit
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling
So I just did me some talking to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleeping on the job
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling
But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me
Won't defeat me, it won't be long
Till happiness steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because I'm free
Nothing's worrying me

Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because I'm free

Those of you not fortunate enough to have been alive in 1969 and 1970 can only imagine the phenomenal hit this song was. Those were the days when music was music, had definition, endurance and value. Race wasn't injected into every single aspect of life, there was respect for the law and you succeeded based on merit. I long for those days, and can relive them through this song.
