[English]

Why can't I sleep?

Why does the night have to end?

I don't need anything, not even tomorrow

A future without you

Why were we smiling?

Why did I feel so lonely?

The truth no one knows is simply

I just wanted you to stay by my side

Even despair can become a light

Even relentless rain keeps falling

Even despair can turn into a shining moment

Sad rain will create a rainbow for us

Anywhere, as far as the eye can see

We'll never meet again, but

I want to remember you always

If dreams can go on, don’t wake me up

...

Why were we smiling?

Why did I feel so lonely?

The truth no one knows is simply

I just want to see you

That was all

Even despair can become a light

Even relentless rain keeps falling

Even despair can turn into a shining moment

Sad rain will create a rainbow for us

Even now

Endless rain fills my heart

Forever and always

...

[Japanese]

どうして眠れないの？

どうして夜は終わるの？

いらない何も明日さえも

君がいない未来

どうして笑ってたの？

どうして寂しかったのに？

誰もしらない本当はただ

そばにいてほしかった

絶望さえも光になる

止まない雨が降り続いても

絶望さえも光になる

悲しい雨が虹をかけるよ

どこまでも

二度と会えないけど

忘れないでいたいよ

夢が続くなら覚めないで

どうして笑ってたの？

どうして寂しかったのに？

誰もしらない本当はただ

会いたい

それだけだった

絶望さえも光になる

止まない雨が降り続いても

絶望さえも光になる

悲しい雨が虹をかけるよ

今も

止まない雨が心満たすよ

いつまでも
