Rain
秦基博 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
人前ではやさしく生きていた
しわよせで こんなふうに雑に
雨の夜にきみを抱きしめてた
道路わきのビラと壊れた常夜燈
街角ではそう だれもが急いでた
きみじゃない 悪いのは自分の激しさを
Lady きみは雨にけむる
すいた駅を少し走った
どしゃぶりでもかまわないと
ずぶぬれでもかまわないと
しぶきあげるきみが消えてく
Oh oh 路地裏では朝が早いから
今のうちにきみをつかまえ
行かないで 行かないで
そう言うよ oh oh ooh hoo, ooh hoo
別々に暮らす 泣きだしそうな空を
にぎりしめる強さは今はもうない
変わらずいる心のすみだけで
傷つくようなきみならもういらない
Lady きみは雨にぬれて
ぼくの眼を少し見ていた
どしゃぶりでもかまわないと
ずぶぬれでもかまわないと
口笛ふくぼくがついてく oh oh
ずいぶんきみを知りすぎたのに
初めて争った夜のように
行かないで 行かないで
そう言うよ oh oh ooh hoo, ooh hoo
肩が乾いたシャツ 改札を出る頃
きみの町じゃもう雨は小降りになる
今日だけが明日に続いてる
こんなふうに きみとは終われない
Lady きみは今もこうして
小さめの傘もささずに
どしゃぶりでもかまわないと
ずぶぬれでもかまわないと
しぶきあげるきみが消えてく oh oh
路地裏では朝が早いから
今のうちにきみをつかまえ
行かないで 行かないで
そう言うよ
どしゃぶりでもかまわないと
ずぶぬれでもかまわないと
口笛ふくぼくがついてく oh oh
ずいぶんきみを知りすぎたのに
初めて争った夜のように
行かないで 行かないで
そう言うよ oh oh ooh ooh
The lyrics of this song are about two people who have grown apart from each other, but are still holding onto the memory of their past. The singer cannot put their feelings into words and is frozen in place. Despite this, they continue to act kindly in public. The singer reminisces about embracing their loved one on a rainy night, and how that memory persists.
The song has a melancholic tone and the lyrics speak of lost love, regret, and a yearning to hold onto what was once there. The line "Lady きみは雨にぬれて" translates to "Lady, you are getting wet in the rain," which can be interpreted as a metaphor for how the singer's relationship with this person is similarly getting drenched, yet they still hold onto their love. The following line, "ぼくの眼を少し見ていた" translates to "you looked at me just a little," and it is possible that this alludes to the fact that the singer cannot hold a gaze for long, just as their former relationship is fragile and fleeting.
The song also speaks about how the singer and their loved one have changed, and how they no longer have the same strength to hold onto each other. The line "肩が乾いたシャツ 改札を出る頃" translates to "by the time I pass through the ticket gates with my dry shirt," and it seems to express a longing to go back to a time where their love was not so fragile. Overall, the song is a poetic rumination on the fragility of love and the desire to hold onto the memories of what once was.
