Ame no shouzou
THE ALFEE Lyrics

The lyrics of the song "Ame no shouzou" by THE ALFEE tell a story of longing and unrequited love. The song paints a scene of a twilight city, where the streets and trees seem to yearn for someone's presence. Despite knowing that their love will remain unfulfilled, the singer cannot let go of their feelings for the person they desire. Even a single white sigh rises into the gray sky, transforming into a cold rain of sorrowful colors. The singer pleads with the rain, asking it to convey their love, to bring the person they long for to them, and to one day grant their wish, even if it's just a little.

As the seasons transition from autumn to winter, everyone becomes quiet. It was on the day they met that the singer trembled with a premonition of love. They want to believe in the person's smile more than any promise made with their fingers. They always pretend to be a product of chance and time, carrying numerous memories as baggage in their heart. The singer asks the rain to gaze upon their love, to carry tears somewhere, and to notice their aching heart, even if it's just a little.

In the silver-colored streets, a portrait of disappearing rain, everyone wanders in search of a place to return to. The singer implores love not to cry so much and stands in the wet street corner, quietly overlapping their presence with the crowd. If the rain could wash away everything and enable them to forget, then they would not fall into the stillness of sleepless nights. The singer once again asks the rain to convey their love, to bring the person they long for to them, and to one day grant their wish, even if it's just a little.
