Lyrics
Japanese Romaji

Yatto mitsuketa atarashii asa wa

Tsukihi ga jama wo suru

Mukau saki wa tsugi ja nakute

Sugi bakari oikaketa

Nariyamanai yousha nai omoide tachi wa

Yurushite kuresou nimonai

Sorosoro kana tesaguri tsukareta hoho wo

Kattou ga koboreochiru

Ame wa itsuka yamunodeshouka

Zuibun nagai aida tsumetai

Ame wa doushite boku wo erabuno

Tsutsumarete iikana

Ame wa yamu koto wo shirazuni

Kyou mo furitsuzukukeredo

Sotto sashidashita kasa no naka de

Nukumori ni yorisoinagara

English Translation

The new morning we've finally found

is being hampered by the past.

What we chased after wasn't the future,

but the past so full of remorse.

The ruthless memories won't stop playing;

they won't be forgiving us for a long time.

It's about now that a teardrop

begins to roll down my fatigued cheeks.

Will this rain ever stop?

I've been freezing for a long time.

Why does the rain continue to fix on me?

I wonder if it could embrace me.

Today, the rain falls again;

endlessly it falls knowing no end.

We nestle close to each other to share the warmth

under this umbrella, you gently held out to me.

English Translation 2

The new dawn that we finally found

is being cut off by time.

The place we're headed for isn't the "future",

but it's the "past" we've been chasing this whole time.

These merciless memories that keep ringing

don't seem like they're going to forgive us.

Soon, the rain of conflict will begin

to roll down my tired cheeks.

Will the rain stop someday?

It's been freezing me for a long time.

Why does the rain choose me?

I wonder if it would envelop me.

The rain never stops;

it keeps falling even today.

But underneath your gently outstretched umbrella,

we nestle together in warmth.
