砂浜叩くスコール
晴れた空から rain in the sun
パラソルの影走れば

そこにあなたがいたの

からだ寄せて雨を見てる
肩にささるあなたの呼吸(いき)

濡れた髪に優しい指

逃げ出したい気分が
ときめきに負けそうよ
灼けた肌の香りが
触れ合うたびに恋を誘う
太陽の下のストレンジャー

コバルト色のスコール
心の中で激しく
突然すぎるキッスも
遠い夢の出来事

いけないコね知らないわよ
本気でもし好きになっても...
つぶやきさえ消えそうね

逃げ出したい気分が
切なさに変わったわ
胸のあたりあなたの
揺れる視線... 気づいてるわ
太陽の下のストレンジャー

逃げ出したい気分が
ときめきに負けそうよ
灼けた肌の香りが

触れ合うたび恋を誘う
太陽の下のストレンジャー

Overall Meaning

The song "Taiyo no shita no Stranger" by Nabuko Kawai is a beautiful and poignant ballad about a chance encounter with a stranger under the sun. The lyrics describe the moment when the singer comes across this person on a beach during a sudden downpour. The storm hits hard and the sand is being whipped up all around them. The singer takes shelter under an umbrella and finds the stranger beside her. They watch the rain together, feeling the stranger's breath and gentle fingers in her wet hair.

As they spend time together, the singer realizes that she is falling for this stranger. Even though she knows that this could be dangerous, she can't help but feel drawn to him. The touching moments shared between them during the storm, from the sound of their heartbeats to the warmth of their skin, have awoken a sense of longing in her that she can't ignore.
