Amayadori shite iru anata ni nee

The song "Aiaigasa" by Younha talks about a sudden downpour of rain where the singer finds herself taking shelter under a roof and is accompanied by her loved one. She feels emboldened enough to take out her umbrella and offers to share it with them. She remarks on how close they have become and how significant that closeness is, marked by the short distance her umbrella can cover. The singer then expresses how she still feels the same way she did when they first met, and even though they are physically close, it's almost like they are still distant because they cannot express their feelings for each other.
Through the lyrics, the singer wants to convey how much love she has for her significant other and how much she wants to confess her feelings. The rain is a metaphor for the emotions within her, which are churning and seeking a way out. She wishes that eventually, she can muster the courage to say the words "I love you" to the person she loves so deeply.
The song talks about how even though the world changes around them, the singer and the person she loves will remain constant to each other. They will stay together through whatever the future holds. Overall, the lyrics are touching, with a lot of metaphors that express unrequited love, forgotten moments and memories, and the permanence that true love brings.
