這首歌敘述三個女孩在許愿池許愿，希望能得到她們愛慕的男子的愛。不過，許愿歸許愿，實際去做才是最重要的。

英文歌詞

Three coins in the fountain, each one seeking happiness. Thrown by three hopeful lovers, which one will the fountain bless?

Three hearts in the fountain, each heart longing for its home. There they lie in the fountain, somewhere in the heart of Rome.

Which one will the fountain bless? Which one will the fountain bless?

Three coins in the fountain, through the ripples how they shine. Just one wish will be granted. One heart will wear a valentine. Make it mine, make it mine, make it mine.

歌詞翻譯

有三個人投了三枚硬幣進(jìn)許愿池，每個人都希望借著許愿能找到自己心愛的人。而這些許愿的人到底誰能得到祝福而實現(xiàn)她的愿望呢?

三枚硬幣代表了三個年輕女孩的心，每一顆心都渴望著有個歸宿。這三個年輕女孩許愿的地方是在羅馬市中心的某處。

哪一個人能得到許愿池的保佑呢?哪一個人能得到許愿池的保佑呢?

透過漣漪你可以看到這三枚硬幣閃耀著。只有一個女孩的愿望能夠?qū)崿F(xiàn)。只有一名女孩能夠得到愛。讓這個幸運兒是我吧，讓這個幸運兒是我吧，讓這個幸運兒是我吧。
