ニワカアメ (Niwaka ame) – Rainshower
From FLOWER DROPS album.
Covered by Amano Tsuki in Sora no ki album.
—–
The sound of sudden rain
From the crying clouds
Why?
I should have gotten used to
Days without you
The demon sinking my heart
Has reared its head like this
Is it my punishment for not
Leaving it all behind?
In that abyss below the blue sky
You’re breathing with someone else
Are you happy?
Is my loneliness
Weighing you down?
While crying
I smiled and smiled as I walked on
Together with the gentle rainshower
I wanted to disappear
Like the white, blurred scenery
Will this rain stop
If I go far far away from you?
In the falling rain, I still
Wait for you
Two matching cups
Chopsticks in your favorite colour
None of them
Have faded in colour
As they continue to slumber
On the veranda where I leave the trash
Your wreckage sways
This feeling of having nowhere to go
If only I could have thrown them away
While crying
I smiled and smiled as I walked on
Searching for the rainbow blooming in the sun
I wanted to go
To a place where you can’t follow
Running in the rain, can you hear
The sound of running footsteps?
I hesitate on the road home
Which I can’t take anymore
While crying
I smiled and smiled as I walked on
Together with the gentle rainshower
I wanted to disappear
Like the white, blurred scenery
Will this rain stop
If I go far far away from you?
In the falling rain, I still
Wait for you
Wait for you

Fui ni ori dasu ame no oto
Koe wo agete naku kumotachi
Doushite darou
Anata no inai hibi wa
Nareta hazu na no ni
Mune ni shizumeta akuma ga
Koushite kao wo arawasu no wa
Nanimo kamo wo oite korenakatta
Batsu na no deshou ka
Aoi sora no shita sono fuchi de
Anata wa dareka to iki wo suru
Shiawase desu ka

Anata kara tooku tooku hanareta nara
Kono ame wa tomaru no deshou ka
Watashi wa mada furi sosogu ame no naka de

Kono ame wa tomaru no deshou ka

ふいに降り出す雨の音
声をあげて鳴く雲たち
どうしてだろう
あなたのいない日々は
慣れたはずなのに
胸に沈めた悪魔が
こうして顔を現すのは
何もかもを置いて来れなかった
罰なのでしょうか
青い空の下 その淵で
あなたは誰かと息をする
しあわせですか
わたしの孤独は
重たかったでしょうか
泣きながら
笑って笑って歩きました
やさしい俄雨と一緒に
ただ白く滲む風景のように
わたしは消えたかった
あなたから遠く 遠く離れたなら
この雨は止まるのでしょうか
わたしはまだ降り注ぐ雨の中で
あなたを待ってます
ふたつ揃えたカップと
あなたの好きな色の箸
何ひとつが
色褪せぬそのまま
眠り続けてる
ゴミをまとめたベランダで
あなたの残骸が揺れてる
行く宛てないこの感情ごと
捨てられたらいいのに
泣きながら
笑って笑って歩きました
ひだまりに咲く虹探して
あなたなど追い着けない所まで
わたしは行きたかった
雨の中走る 走る踵の音
あなたには聞こえるでしょうか
もう二度と戻れない帰り道で
わたしは彷徨う
泣きながら
笑って笑って歩きました
やさしい俄雨と一緒に
ただ白く滲む風景のように
わたしは消えたかった
あなたから遠く 遠く離れたなら
この雨は止まるのでしょうか
わたしはまだ降り注ぐ雨の中で
あなたを待ってます
あなたを待ってます
