雨上がり
くるり Lyrics

These lyrics are from the song "Amagari" by the Japanese band くるり (Kururi). The song talks about a rainy day and the emotions that come with it. The first verse describes a scene where the rain has stopped, and the person the singer is addressing is waving their hand. The singer reflects on their own actions, mentioning that they continue to check their answers or reevaluate their choices. They also mention that they have been walking for a long time, possibly implying a journey or a process of growth.

The lyrics continue with the small and timid figure of the person the singer is talking to. They ask this person to stay in this moment, with their head bowed down, and to not forget the embrace of the singer's shoulder. They refer to the person's smile as dull or uninteresting, yet they want this moment to become a day that connects the two of them. The lyrics then pose questions, wondering what time it is and where the person is going. They ask the whirlwind to deliver their feelings to the person's heart.

The second verse uses imagery of dawn breaking and melting like a glass marble beyond the light. The lyrics express a desire to become one and then become two, as if merging and separating with the blink of an eye. They mention tears that resemble the color of cherry blossoms, evoking a sense of beauty and fragility. The lyrics end by suggesting that if tears fall down the cheek, they can reach the color of the sea.
