流行歌曲(pop)《雨天和星期一》(Rainy Days and Mondays)发行于1971年,保罗•威廉姆斯(Paul Williams)与罗杰•尼科尔斯(Roger Nichols)作词作曲,《木匠兄妹合唱团》(The Carpenters)的妹妹(1950年─1983年)凯伦•卡彭特(Karen Carpenter)演唱,凯伦死于厌食症的併发症(complications of anorexia)。前两段歌词的吴公子中译及原文如下:
“自言自语觉得老了/
有时我想放弃/
再没什么看似契合的/
闲待着/
没什么可做只是皱眉/
雨天和星期一总让我情绪低落//
我得的是人们习惯上称作忧郁/
没什么错得厉害/
感觉魂不附体/
闲逛着/
略如孤独的小丑/
雨天和星期一总让我情绪低落//”
(Talkin' to myself and feelin' old/
Sometimes I'd like to quit/
Nothin' ever seems to fit/
Hangin' around/
Nothin' to do but frown/
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down//
What I've got they used to call the blues/
Nothin' is really wrong/
Feelin' like I don't belong/
Walkin' around/
Some kind of lonely clown/
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down//)
