Whenever it rains, I have to think of you
How we met, nothing can distract me
That's how she stood there
It was loud around us, and we got close
Whenever it rains, I have to think of you
How we ran into each other, nothing can distract me
Soaked to the skin, that's how she stood there
I fled under the awning
Of the store, a stream poured from the sky, I guess
It was half past seven, but I was wide awake
When Anna looked at me and laughed
I thought: talk to her, 'cause she talked to me
Her clothes, completely soaked, clung to her
Bag in hand, she stood against the wall
Her dark eyes sparkled like a night in Asia
Strands in her face blocked her view
My heart pounds, my nose drips, I'm embarrassed
I act silly, 'cause I'm actually shy
"My name is Anna," she said very soberly
I started whispering, "I'm Max from the womb of the kolkhoz"
But such a disaster, it totally backfired
I make a fool of myself, yet she smiled, "Really, man"
Look there, Anna was a hip-hop fan
Whenever it rains, I have to think of you
How we met, nothing can distract me
Soaked to the skin, that's how she stood there
It was loud around us, and we got close
Whenever it rains, I have to think of you
How we ran into each other, nothing can distract me
Soaked to the skin, that's how she stood there
Splish splash the rain fell like the deluge
The awning, the island, we were like flotsam
I found courage, I'm surprised myself at the confidence
Of my confession, Anna I'd love to go out with you
Could get used to seeing you more often
Anna pulled me close, "Actually I don't do this"
Feel her sweet kisses as she caresses my face
What's happening, don't let go of me
Anna, I only love you now, others are loveless, you are
Like vinyl for my DJ, dialectic for Hegel
A brush for Picasso, drumsticks for Philippe
Anna, how was that with Dada
You're the same backwards and forwards A-N-N-A
You're the same backwards and forwards A-N-N-A
You're the same backwards and forwards A-N-N-A
Whenever it rains, I have to think of you
How we met, nothing can distract me
Soaked to the skin, that's how she stood there
It was loud around us, and we got close
Whenever it rains, I have to think of you
How we ran into each other, nothing can distract me
Soaked to the skin, that's how she stood there
She gave me a goodbye kiss, 'cause then the bus came
She said "Max, I gotta go," the door closed. "What, it's over now?"
It poured, I walked, confused, almost running
Anna took my mind, I found plenty in Anna
Sometimes I laugh about it, but then I feel again how it hits me
Comedy is tragedy in mirror writing
A-N-N-A the same backwards and forwards, may your name be blessed
I think of you whenever it rains
Whenever it rains, I have to think of you
How we met, nothing can distract me
Soaked to the skin, that's how she stood there
It was loud around us, and we got close
Whenever it rains, I have to think of you
How we ran into each other, nothing can distract me
Soaked to the skin, that's how she stood there
Whenever it rains, I have to think of you
How we met, nothing can distract me
Soaked to the skin, that's how she stood there
It was loud around us, and we got close
Whenever it rains, I have to think of you
How we ran into each other, nothing can distract me
Soaked to the skin, that's how she stood there
