英文歌词
Three coins in the fountain, each one seeking happiness. Thrown by three hopeful lovers, which one will the fountain bless? Three hearts in the fountain, each heart longing for its home. There they lie in the fountain, somewhere in the heart of Rome. Which one will the fountain bless? Which one will the fountain bless? Three coins in the fountain, through the ripples how they shine. Just one wish will be granted. One heart will wear a valentine. Make it mine, make it mine, make it mine.
歌词翻译
有三个人投了三枚硬币进许愿池,每个人都希望借着许愿能找到自己心爱的人。而这些许愿的人到底谁能得到祝福而实现她的愿望呢? 三枚硬币代表了三个年轻女孩的心,每一颗心都渴望着有个归宿。这三个年轻女孩许愿的地方是在罗马市中心的某处。 哪一个人能得到许愿池的保佑呢?哪一个人能得到许愿池的保佑呢? 透过涟漪你可以看到这三枚硬币闪耀着。只有一个女孩的愿望能够实现。只有一名女孩能够得到爱。让这个幸运儿是我吧,让这个幸运儿是我吧,让这个幸运儿是我吧。
