《Who'll Stop the Rain》(谁能阻止这雨?),是美国摇滚乐队克里登斯清水复兴合唱团 (Creedence Clearwater Revival,简称CCR) 1970年专辑《Cosmo's Factory》中的一首经典歌曲。这首歌不仅仅是一首旋律优美的摇滚歌曲,更是一首充斥隐喻和反思的作品。歌词以“雨”象征着美国社会其时的困境,包含越战、政治糜烂和日益加剧的社会矛盾。
歌词中“Long as I remember, the rain been coming round”(我记忆中,雨一直下个一直)暗示着这些问题由来已久,难以解决。“Clouds of mystery pourin', confusion on the ground”(神秘的乌云倾泻而下,大地一片混乱)则描绘了其时社会的迷茫和不安。而“Good men through the ages, trying to find the sun”(一代又一代的好人,试图找到阳光)则表达了人们在困境中赓续寻求希望的努力。
这首歌也表达了对政治的失望。“Five year plans and new deals, wrapped in golden chains”(五年计划和新政,都被束缚在金色的锁链中)暗示着即使是美好的愿景,也可能被权力所腐蚀。歌曲的核心问题“Who'll stop the rain?” (谁能阻止这雨?) 不仅仅是一个疑问,更是一种深深的无奈和渴望。

G Em G Em
G C G Long as I remember, the rain been coming round.
G C G Clouds of mystery pourin', confusion on the ground.
C G C G Good men through the ages, trying to find the sun,
C D Em G And I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain.
Heard the singers playing, how we cheered for more. The crowd had rushed together, tryin' to keep warm. Still the rain kept pourin', falling on my ears. And I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain.
I went down Virginia, seeking shelter from the storm. Cought up in the fable, I watched the tower grow. Five year plans and new deals, wrapped in golden chains, And I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain.
