悲しみの雨が降る
THE ALFEE Lyrics

The Alfee's song 悲しみの雨が降る (Kanashimi no ame ga furu) has a melancholic and nostalgic tone which reflects on the pain of lost love and the inability to turn back time. The theme of rain in the song reflects the sadness and regrets felt by the singer. The song starts with the singer acknowledging the presence of someone who always cries in the rain. The person has their back turned in a faded town with an empty heart that can't catch up to dreams that haunt them with regrets. The lyrics describe how time has been lost, and the singer has grown tired of waiting as tears of regrets feel as though they continue to follow him/her. The lyrics suggest that the singer had a special relationship that ended in tears, and the memories are too fleeting and too painful to forget.

The lyrics become more sentimental towards the second half of the song, where the singer describes an intimate moment with their love interest. The setting described is a drunken night that ended with the singer calling out his/her partner's name. The memory of that moment becomes too painful to forget, even as they left without knowing the meaning of goodbye. The final moments repeat the chorus with the same longing and pining for the singer's lost love, emphasizing the idea that it is always raining when they cry.
