Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Denwa BOX no soto wa ame
Kakenareta daiaru mawashikakete
Futo yubi wo tomeru
Tsumetai ame ni utarenagara
Kanashii monogatari omoidashita
Anata no kaeri michi kousaten
Futo ashi wo tomeru
Rainy blue mou owatta hazu nanoni
Rainy blue naze oikakeru no
Anata no maboroshi kesu you ni
Watashi mo kyou wa sotto ame
Ikisugiru kuruma no heddo raito ga
Hitori botchi no kage o tsukuru
Anata no shiroi kuruma sagashikakete
Futo hitomi o fuseru
Rainy blue mou owatta hazu nanoni
Rainy blue itsumade oikakeru no
Anata no maborosi kesu you ni
Watashi mo kyou wa sotto ame
Rainy blue mou owatta hazu nanoni
Rainy blue naze oikakeru no
Anata no maboroshi kesu you ni
Watashi mo kyou wa sotto ame
Ano koro no yasashisa ni tsutsumarete omoide ga
Nagareteku kono machi ni
It'a a rainy blue
It's a rainy blue yureru kokoro nurasu namida
It'a a rainy blue loneliness…

The final verse describes the feeling of isolation and sadness that the singer experiences, as she watches the world go by through the rain: "Ano koro no yasashisa ni tsutsumarete omoide ga / Nagareteku kono machi ni / It's a rainy blue yureru kokoro nurasu namida / It's a rainy blue loneliness."
Overall, the lyrics of "Rainy Day" by Afro Dizzi Act poetically capture the dark and emotional themes that come with a rainy day. It's a melancholic song about a lonely woman who reminisces about love while standing in the rain.
