言葉にできず凍えたままで / kotoba ni dekizu kogoeta mama de
Frozen (in place) without able to put (my) feelings into words

人前ではやさしく生きていた / hitomae de wa yasashiku ikiteita
I was just living quietly in front of people

しわよせで　こんなふうに雑に / shiwayose de konna fuu ni zatsu ni
In order to move that burden away

雨の夜にきみを抱きしめてた / ame no yoru ni kimi wo dakishimeteta
I embraced you roughly on that rainy night

道路わきのビラと壊れた常夜灯 / dourowaki no BIRA to kowareta jouyatou
(In the) road-side buildings and (under) the broken night-lamps

街角ではそう　だれもが急いでた / machikado de wa sou dare mo ga isoideta
And at street corners, everyone was in a hurry

きみじゃない悪いのは自分の激しさを / kimi janai warui no wa jibun no hageshisa wo
You are not the one who is at fault

かくせないぼくのほうさ / kakusenai boku no hou sa
Unable to hide my own intensity, it is me who is the one at fault

Lady　きみは雨にけむる / LADY kimi wa ame ni kemuru
LADY you were shrouded by the rain

すいた駅を少し走った / suita eki wo sukoshi hashitta
(I) ran (after you) through the empty station for a bit

どしゃぶりでもかまわないと / doshaburi demo kamawanai to
Saying that, ‘it doesn’t matter if it is raining heavily’

ずぶぬれでもかまわないと / zubunure demo kamawanai to
It doesn’t matter If I’m completely drenched’

しぶきあげるきみが消えてく / shibuki ageru kimi ga kieteku
You make splashes in the water and disappear

路地裏では朝が早いから / rojiura de wa asa ga hayai kara
Because the mornings come early in the back-alleys

今のうちにきみをつかまえ / ima no uchi ni kimi wo tsukamae
I have to catch you now

行かないで　行かないで そう言うよ / ikanai de ikanai de sou iu yo
Saying to you, ‘don’t go, don’t go’

別々に暮らす　泣き出しそうな空を / betsu betsu ni kurasu nakidashi sou na sora wo
Now that we are living separately, I no longer have the strength

にぎりしめる強さは今はもうない / nigirishimeru tsuyosa wa ima wa mou nai
To grasp the sky that is on the verge of tears

変わらずいる心のすみだけで傷つくような / kawarazu iru kokoro no sumi dakede kizutsuku you na
If you are going to remain in my heart, unchanging and just hurting me

きみならもういらない / kimi nara mou iranai
I don’t need you anymore

Lady　きみは雨にぬれて / LADY kimi wa ame ni nurete
LADY you were drenched in the rain

ぼくの眼を少し見ていた / boku no me wo sukoshi miteita
And you looked at my eyes just a little bit

どしゃぶりでもかまわないと / doshaburi demo kamawanai to
Saying that, ‘it doesn’t matter if it is raining heavily’

ずぶぬれでもかまわないと / zubunure demo kamawanai to
It doesn’t matter If I’m completely drenched’

口笛ふくぼくがついてく / kuchibue fuku boku ga tsuiteku
I whistle and follow you

ずいぶんきみを知りすぎたのに / zuibun kimi wo shiri sugita no ni
Even though I’ve gotten to know so much about you now

初めて争った夜のように / hajimete arasotta yoru no you ni
Like the first night when we fought

行かないで　行かないで そう言うよ / ikanai de ikanai de sou iu yo
I say ‘don’t go, don’t go’

肩が乾いたシャツ改札を出る頃 / kata ga kawaita SHATSU kaisatsu wo deru koro
By the time I pass through the ticket gate, the shirt on my shoulders has dried

きみの町じゃもう雨は小降りになる / kimi no machi ja mou ame wa koburi ni naru
In your town, the rain has slowed down to a drizzle already

今日だけが明日に続いてる / kyou dake ga ashita ni tsuzuiteru
Only today will continue into tomorrow

こんなふうに　きみとは終われない / konna fuu ni kimi to wa owarenai
Feeling in this way, I cannot end it with you

Lady　きみは今もこうして 小さめの傘もささずに / LADY kimi wa ima mo koushite chiisame no kasa mo sasazu ni
LADY even know you don’t have even a small umbrella with you

どしゃぶりでもかまわないと / doshaburi demo kamawanai to
Saying that, ‘it doesn’t matter if it is raining heavily’

ずぶぬれでもかまわないと / zubunure demo kamawanai to
It doesn’t matter If I’m completely drenched’

しぶきあげるきみが消えてく / shibuki ageru kimi ga kieteku
You make splashes in the water and disappear

路地裏では朝が早いから / rojiura de wa asa ga hayai kara
Because the mornings come early in the back-alleys

今のうちにきみをつかまえ / ima no uchi ni kimi wo tsukamae
I have to catch you now

行かないで　行かないで そう言うよ / ikanai de ikanai de sou iu yo
Saying to you, ‘don’t go, don’t go’

どしゃぶりでもかまわないと / doshaburi demo kamawanai to
Saying that, ‘it doesn’t matter if it is raining heavily’

ずぶぬれでもかまわないと / zubunure demo kamawanai to
It doesn’t matter If I’m completely drenched’

口笛ふくぼくがついてく / kuchibue fuku boku ga tsuiteku
I whistle and follow you

ずいぶんきみを知りすぎたのに / zuibun kimi wo shiri sugita no ni
Even though I’ve gotten to know so much about you now

初めて争った夜のように / hajimete arasotta yoru no you ni
Like the first night when we fought

行かないで　行かないで そう言うよ / ikanai de ikanai de sou iu yo
I say ‘don’t go, don’t go’
