[English]

I should just tell you "I love you"

But I’m scared to say it, afraid of what I wish for

"I love you," and "I love you"—

They grow stronger, then they melt away

If I could make the time with you last even a second longer

It doesn’t have to be forever

Make a wish—love’s sound in the rain-filled sky

A few days after we parted, in the pouring rain

On days like this, I always went to bring you an umbrella

Waiting at our usual meeting spot, hoping to see your face

There you are, soaked without an umbrella

If I could warm your trembling hands once more

I’d want to go back to the moment it all began

I should just tell you "I love you"

But I’m scared to say what I wish for

"Don’t you love me?" "I do love you"—

Swirling in love beneath the rainy sky

If I could make the time with you last even a second longer

It doesn’t have to be forever

Just stay like this until the rain stops...

Even believing in tomorrow,

Are you laughing at the past?

Without the strength to wash it away

Time freezes, just like that day

Two droplets,

Trickle down your cheek

Love and the persistent rain—an eternal song they sing

Lately, I find myself envying passing lovers

When did I start being afraid of being alone?

But for now, it’s a fleeting happiness

If only I could stay like this forever

I want to become just an ordinary couple

What you’re wishing for here,

And what I want to say here,

Could our feelings align right now?

I should just tell you "I love you"

But I’m scared to say what I wish for

Gazing at your profile

That’s enough—just that is fine!

But even just a small piece of happiness

Is something you gave to me

Honestly, I want to hold you tight forever

"Misunderstandings, yet they’re trials for us to start over"—that’s what I believe

If only I could say it right away, how wonderful that would be

The truth of love passes so quickly

And now I love you even more

It’s only after those days of losing you that I finally realized

Deep down, I want to confirm these feelings just like this...

I should just tell you "I love you"

But I’m scared to say what I wish for

"I love you," and "I love you"—

They grow stronger, then they melt away

If I could make the time with you last even a second longer

It doesn’t have to be forever

Make a wish—love’s sound in the rain-filled sky

[Japanese]

「好きだよ」と伝えればいいのに

願う先、怖くていえず

「好きだよ」と「好きだよ」が

募っては溶けてく

君との時間が一秒でも長くなるなら

ずっとじゃなくていい

願いかける　恋音と雨空

君と離れてから数日目の土砂降りの雨の中

こんな日は必ず傘を届けにいった

いつもの待ち合わせの場所いるはずのない面影待つ

傘もささず、ずぶ濡れな君はそこにいた

悴んだ手を温めることがもう一度できるなら

始まりの時まで戻りたい

「好きだよ」と伝えればいいのに

願う先、怖くていえず

「好きじゃない？」「好きだよ？」が

揺れる恋と雨空

君との時間が一秒でも長くなるなら

ずっとじゃなくていい

雨が止むまでこのままいさせて。。。

信じた明日も

君は過去と笑うの？

流し去る力も無く

あの日のままで時間が止まる

雫が二つ

君の頬を伝う

絶えず止まぬ雨のせいと恋音は詠う

町行く恋人が羨ましく思うことが増えた

いつから一人が怖くなったんだろう

でも今は束の間の幸せ

できることならこのまま

ありふれた恋人達になりたい

君がここで望んでいること

僕がここでいいたいこと

今なら想いも重なるかな？

「好きだよ」と伝えればいいのに

願う先、怖くていえず

横顔を見つめてる

それだけでも　もういい！

だけど一握りの幸せも

君がくれたものだから

本当はずっと抱きしめていたい

「すれ違いも、二人もう一度やり直すための試練」 だって

すぐに言えるのなら　どんなにいいだろうか

好きという事実通りすぎて

今ではもう愛している

失った数日間でやっと知った

本当はこのまま気持ち確かめたくて、、、

「好きだよ」と伝えればいいのに

願う先、怖くていえず

「好きだよ」と「好きだよ」が

募っては溶けてく

君との時間が一秒でも長くなるなら

ずっとじゃなくていい

願いかける　恋音と雨空
