Wang Ba Dan / Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Somewhere over the Rainbow

Somewhere over the rainbow

Way up high

In the land, that I heard of once,

Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow

Skies are blue

And the dreams

That you dare to dream

Really do come true

Some day, I'll wish upon a star,

And wake up where the clouds are far behind me

Where troubles melt like lemon drops,

Way up above the chimney tops

Thats where you'll find me

I know somewhere over the rainbow

The blue birds fly

Birds fly over the rainbow

Why then, oh why can't I

"Somewhere over the Rainbow" lyrics depict a pre-adolescent girl's desire for an escape from the "hopeless jumble" of this world, from sadness of raindrops to the bright new word "over the rainbow". It expresses childlike faith that "Heaven" will magically "open a door" to a place where "troubles melt like lemon-drops".
