Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

Raining

It's raining

夏の頃に

Back in summer

通り雨や傘の下

During a passing shower, under my umbrella

Kissing

I kissed

濡れた頬に

Your wet cheek

そっと口づけた

Gently, I kissed it

あの季節に

That season

まだ焦がれている

I'm still longing

何も手につかずに

Unable to concentrate on anything

上の空の日々

Distant days, lost in thought

Nothing

Nothing

But you're the part of me

But you're a part of me

まだ足りなくて

Still not enough

まだ消えなくて

Still can't forget

重ねた手の平から

From the palms we held together

幼さが

The innocence remains

What a good thing we lose

What a good thing we lost

What a bad thing we knew

What a bad thing we knew

そんなフレーズにお漏れてく雨の中

In the rain that drifts into such phrases

ただ足りなくて

Just feeling incomplete

まだ言えなくて

Still can't say it

数えた日の夢から

From the dreams of counting days

サヨナラが

Goodbye

What a good thing we lose?

Isn't it a good thing we lose?

What a bad thing we knew

And the bad things we knew

触れられずにいれたなら

If only I could have stayed untouched

笑えたかな？

Would I have been able to smile?

...
