English Translation
The days going by are getting in the way of the new morning i'd found at last

It wasnt "next" that i was headed toward, but "bygone" that i was always chasing after.

My incessant, merciless memories

dont seem likely to forgive me

it may not be long before my turmoil spills out

down cheeks wearied by my fumbling about.

Will the rain ever stop?

ive been cold for such a long time

why does this rain choose me?

Can i wrap myself up in it?

The rain is unrelenting, and its still coming down today, but tenderly under an extended unbrella,

we share out warmth as we huddle close.

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.
