Lyrics

furishikiru ame no naka

ano hi no negaigoto ga
nukumori dake nokoshite iru
mata hitotsu hanabira chiru
iro wo nakushita keshiki no naka de

(ikanaide ikanaide)
te wo nobashitatte
(kienaide kesanaide)
mou todokanai
dakedo mada oboeteru ano hana no iro wo

awai sekai kuroku somatte
itsuka mienaku natte shimatte mo
ano hi kawashita yakusoku wo shinjite
furishikiru ame no naka

yoake wo matsu tochuu de
hagureta mama aruite iru
tada hitori mukau basho ni wa
kimi no sugata ga aru no deshou ka

(sukoshi zutsu sukoshi zutsu)
koboreochite iku
(mata hitotsu mata hitotsu)
yoi no yami ga
tenohira wo surinukete
hirogatteku tomerarenai mama

sameru koto no nai
yume no naka tachitsukushite tada mitsumeru
dakishimeta tsumetai ame no naka
nukumori wo wasurenai you ni

(bright colors world..)

mabuta no ura mada azayaka ni
(I still remember you)
douka douka sono mama de ite

awai sekai kuroku somatte
itsuka mienaku natte shimatte mo
ano hi kawashita yakusoku wo shinjite
furishikiru ame no naka
sekai no iro wa kawaru

English Translation

Under the pouring rain

The wish I made on that day
Only left a bit of warmness behind
Another leaf falling
In a scenery that lost its color

(Please don’t go)
I reach out my hand
(Please don’t fade away)
I can never touch
But I still remember the color of the flower

Pale world slowly dyed in black
Even if it will never be able to see one day
I believe the promise I made on the day
Under the pouring rain

I am walking nowhere
Waiting for the daybreak
The place I am heading on my own
Will you be there?

(Little by little)
Falling apart
(Here goes another one)
Darkness of the night
Slipping through the fingers
Spreading wide, no one can stop

In an endless dream
I stand still and just stare
Embracing in the cold rain
Not to forget the warmness

(Bright colors world..)

When I close my eyes it’s still colorful
(I still remember you..)
So please, please stay as it is

Pale world slowly dyed in black
Even if it will never be able to see one day
I believe the promise I made on the day
Under the pouring rain
The world changes its color
