Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
やさしいKissで さよならしたね
遠く 離れて知った 心はいつも
君だけを 見つめてたよ
季節 巡る花たち
君の微笑みのようで Oh
そっと 立ち止まるたび
恋しさはつのり
会えない毎日に 交わしたMail
抱きしめた 眠れない 夜も
きっと 瞼を閉じるさ
明日の今は 君とふたりで
あの花を 見上げてるかな?
変わらない僕を笑う君と
照れながら そっと手を
繋いだまま
あの日ふたりを 濡らしたRain
傘も差さずにKissしたFin.
君の涙に 張り裂けてく胸
約束だけが 輝いてた、雨
くちびるに 隠していた
ためらいに 気づいた日は Oh
君の心を守る 自信を失くして
愛も 疑ったけど
小さな左手の 君のリングが
ポケットの 片隅で ずっと
消えない 夢をくれたんだ
明日の今は 君とふたりで
この街を 歩いてるかな?
変わらない愛を信じながら
ささやかな しあわせに
頬をよせて
桜雨、しずかに流れ 未完の時間
はじまりのSpring Rain
虹だけが知ったPain
きっと僕たちは また恋をしてく...
花を散らした せつない雨も
ふたつの心を 繋いで
とまらない時に 触れてゆく
永遠の 恋を叶えて
明日の今は 君とふたりで
あの花を 見上げてるなら
変わってくすべて愛してくよ
君とまた 会える日に
"ありがとう"
The lyrics of U-KISS's song "Spring Rain" describe a bittersweet farewell between two individuals amidst the gentle spring rain. The scene is set with the imagery of the two of them parting ways with a tender kiss and the realization of distance separating their hearts. Despite being physically apart, the singer confesses to always have been focused on the other person, feeling their absence deeply as they gaze at the blooming flowers that remind them of the beloved's smile. Each moment of pause only intensifies the longing and love felt, leading to tears falling in the rain and heartfelt messages exchanged in the form of emails during their days apart.
As the song progresses, there is a sense of yearning and nostalgia for the shared moments, including sleepless nights embraced in memories and the anticipation of a future where they can once again be together. The lyrics express a mix of emotions - from doubting love and losing confidence in protecting the other person's heart to finding reassurance in the simple gestures like holding hands and the presence of a ring symbolizing an everlasting dream. Despite the doubts and fears, the commitment to believing in unchanging love and finding happiness in each small moment shared remains steadfast.
The imagery of the spring rain becomes a symbol of renewal and beginnings, with the promise of a love that transcends time and distance. The mention of a neverending love story, the pain hidden behind smiles, and the shared experiences in both joyful and sorrowful moments reinforce the idea of a bond that withstands the test of time. The lyrics evoke a sense of hope and determination to overcome obstacles, cherishing the memories of rainy days that brought them closer together and the rainbow that symbolizes the beauty born out of pain and struggles.
The song concludes with a sense of optimism and gratitude, looking towards a future where the two individuals can once again meet and express their love openly. The realization that all the changes and challenges only serve to deepen their affection for each other is encapsulated in the simple yet powerful phrase "Thank you." Overall, "Spring Rain" by U-KISS captures the essence of love, separation, and reunion, weaving a poignant narrative that resonates with anyone who has experienced the complexities of relationships and the enduring power of love.
