(The little white cloud that cried)
Musik: Johnnie Ray. Dansk tekst: Victor Skaarup
Helt alene gik jeg ved stranden,
livet havde gjort mig fortræd.
Da så jeg pluds'Iig oppe på himlen
en lille hvid sky, der græd .
Den sa', den følte sig så alene,
det var bare derfor, den græd,
og ofte, når det tordned' og lyned',
så gjorde det skyen så ræd.
Så sa' den: »Selv når uvejret. raser,
ved vi, det bli'r solskin påny,
op med ho'det, tab ikke modet !«.
Det sa' den lille sky,
Den tørred' selv i hast sine tårer,
smilte kækt - og jeg smilte med.
Når jeg har modgang, mindes jeg bare
en lille hvid sky, der græd. .

Engelsk tekst ved Johnnie Ray
I went strolling down by the river,
feeling , very. sad inside,
When all at once I saw in the sky,
The little white cloud that cried.
He told me he was very lonesome,
No one cared if he lived or died,
And, said some times the thunder and ligthning
would make all the little clouds hide.
He said Have faith in all kinds of weather,
For the sun will always shine,
Do your best and always remember,
The dark clouds pass with time.
He asked me if I'd tell all the world
just how hard all little clouds try.
That's why I think I'll always remember
The little white cloud that cried.
