Waraiatte ita noni ne...
Kasa mo sasanaide ame ni utare
Hoho wo tsutau kono omoi
Chigau michi eranda no wa watashi no hou datta noni ne
* Kimi wa namida mo misezu ni sotto te o furi aruite yuku
Konna ai shikata shika dekinakute hontou ni gomen ne
Mou nido to itsumo no wagamama mo ienai n da ne
Sasai na koto de itsumo kenka shiteta
Sono tabi ni tomatteta
Daiji na jikan muda na yaritori
Wakattetemo sunao ni narenai
Otagai ga kagayakereba yokatta hazu na noni ne
Kimi no mirai wo kowashite shimaisou de kowakatta n da
Watashi to sugosu hibi no naka de
Neta furi no watashi ni kisu nokoshiteku yasashisa mo zenbu
Mou nido to togire saseta omoi mune ni himete...
* Repeat
Mou ichido wagamama iitakatta
These lyrics are from the song "Rain" by Koda Kumi. The song is about a past relationship that ended badly, and the singer is reflecting on the mistakes they made and the emotions they felt during that time. The rain serves as a metaphor for the tears and pain that the singer experienced during the relationship.
The first verse talks about how when it rains, people usually huddle together and laugh, but the singer doesn't want to be comforted by anyone. They want to be left alone to cry and let their emotions out. The second verse talks about how the singer and their partner used to fight over trivial things and waste precious time. Despite knowing that they were hurting each other, they couldn't be honest with themselves or each other.
The chorus is about how the singer sees their ex walking away, not shedding a tear, and feeling helpless about the situation. They apologize for not being able to love their ex properly and realize that they were being selfish. They know they can't go back to the way things were, and they regret not being able to tell their partner about their true feelings.
Overall, the song is a melancholic reflection on a past relationship and the pain that comes with it. The rain serves as a metaphor for the tears that were shed, and the singer is left feeling regretful and helpless.
