Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be along again
The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a aband new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my hear
Rain please tell me now does that seem fair
For her to steal my heart away
When she don't care I can't love another
When my heart's somewhere far away
Rain won't you tell her that I love her so
Please ask the sun to set her heart aglow
Rain in her heart and let the love we know start to grow
Oh listen to the falling rain
Di li ad la
Di li ad la
Oh listen to the falling rain
Di li ad la
唱腔低缓成了Donovan的特徵,因此在伴奏上他采取的也极为低调,所以 Donovan的民谣风格中带有很浓的蓝调味。加拿大籍的诗人Leonard Cohen走唱的方式就非常类似Donovan慢板的作品,有一些梦幻,又带点浪漫、不急不躁,很自然的将听者带进舒畅的境界。
Donovan 〔全名Donovan Leitch〕1946年5月10日生于苏格兰的Glasgow。念了一年的专科就辍学四处流浪于英伦,为讨生活他曾做过餐服员、搬运工、矿工,也因为偷窃而吃过两星期的牢饭,不到20岁的Donovan很早就体尝到人间的百态及冷暖。
1964年他首次出现Herts当地的Cock Pub中,与他共同演出的尚有一位叫Gypsy Dave乐手。由于他俩来到Southend小镇演出时,被Geoff Stephens和Peter Eden两人看上,进而当上Donovan的现成经纪人。
1965 年l月Donovan在Geoff、Peter的促动下,于伦敦的一家录音室初次进行试音,并完成一卷母带,没想到引起Pye唱片公司及ITV的青垂。很顺利的,Donovan上了英国当时著名的热门节目Ready Steady Go,而且安排他三个礼拜上档,这是该节目首次推出的特制连约性小单元。Pye公司为了让大众传播立刻对Donovan产生印象,将他外型个性化,肩挂口琴架、手持一把木吉他、满头卷发覆着软布的窄边幅,好像把Donovan当成英国的Bob Dylan。
