IF I COULD CATCH A RAINBOW

Sandra Lewis Pringle

If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you
and share with you its beauty
On the days you're feeling blue.

If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own
A place to find serenity
A place to be alone.

If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea
But all these things I'm finding
are impossible for me.

I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair
But let me be what I know best-
A friend who's always there.

彩虹

桑德拉•刘易斯•普林格尔

但愿我有神奇的魔力，
为你留住天边的彩虹；
我们来分享它的美丽，
常常让你一扫愁容。

我会为你造一座大山，
只要能借来鬼斧神工；
远离那喧嚣的尘世，
深藏你孤独的行踪。

但愿我能把你的烦恼抛进大海，
但愿我能抚平你的伤痛；
然而，所有都是一厢情愿的幻想，
一切莫过自我沉醉的秋梦。

我没有魔力留住彩虹，
我造山更缺鬼斧神工；
但可以让我做你的朋友，
时时陪你，情有独钟。
