after the rain

いつの間にか雨は上がり

Itsunomanika ame wa agari

The rain came to an end without me noticing

遠くの方で虹がかかるのが見えた

tōku no hō de niji ga kakaru no ga mieta

and I could see a rainbow hanging in the distance.

辛いこともいつか

Tsurai koto mo itsuka

At some point, difficulties also

雲とともに消えた

kumo to tomo ni kieta

disappeared along with the clouds.

始めた時持っていた

Hajimeta toki motte ita

The confidence I had when I started

自信は全部砕け散ってしまったけど

jishin wa zenbu kudakechitte shimatta kedo

has all been dashed to pieces

聞こえてきたフレーズに

kikoete kita furēzu ni

but when I heard a phrase

ふと思い出したんだ

futo omoidashita n da

I suddenly remembered:

大事なのは

Daija na no wa

What counts

歩き続けることだって

arukitsuzukeru koto da tte

is to keep on going.

五月雨さみだれの紫陽花あじさい

Samidare no ajisai

Hydrangeas in the early summer rain

雫に濡れてるけど

shizuku ni nurete'ru kedo

get wet with raindrops

咲くことを待ってる

saku koto o matte'ru

but wait until they bloom.

だからこの雨よ

Dakara kono ame yo

So let this rain

あがれ

agare

come to an end.

曇りの空見上げた

Kumori no sora miageta

I looked up at the cloudy sky.

そんなに全部うまくいくことないけど

Sonna ni zenbu umaku iku koto nai kedo

Not everything is going to go so well,

わるいこともそんなに

warui koto mo sonna ni

but then bad stuff

続くことはないんだ

tsuzuku koto wa nai n da

isn't going to keep happening either.

どんなことも

Donna koto mo

It means that anything in life

Fifty-fiftyなんだって

fifty-fifty na n da tte

is fifty-fifty.

五月晴さつきばれ続かず

Satsukibare tsuzukazu

Early summer fine weather isn't non-stop

すぐに降り始めるけど

sugu ni furihajimeru kedo

and rain quickly starts falling,

いつか止むと信じてる

itsuka yamu to shinjite'ru

but I have faith that at some point it stops.

だからこの雨よ

Dakara kono ame yo

So let this rain

あがれ

agare

come to an end.

憂鬱ゆううつな気分も

Yūutsu na kibun mo

There's a way of feeling

感じ方ひとつでかわる

kanjikata hitotsu de kawaru

that will even change my gloomy mood.

素直に見つめる曇らぬ瞳を

Sunao ni mitsumeru kumoranu hitomi o

I would like to have

いつも変わらずずっと

itsumo kawarazu zutto

unclouded eyes that always

持っていたい

motte itai

keep on seeing straight.

五月晴さつきばれ続かず

Satsukibare tsuzukazu

Early summer fine weather isn't non-stop
