Lyrics and translation Junichi Inagaki - 雨のリグレット

雨のリグレット

凍える淋しさを 片手で支えて
電話のボックスで くちびる噛んでる
乾いた交換の 声が優しげに
"使われてません"と告げれば
しのび雨

Why, oh why
時をへだてた今
なぜ 心は乱れる
Years ago
背中向けた恋に
なぜ むせび泣くの
My heart

"今更そんなこと 死にたくなるわ"と
貴女がライターの 炎の向こうで
涙にふくらんだ 瞳をそらした
盛り場のホテルの窓にも
しのび雨

Why, oh why
時をへだてた今
なぜ 心は乱れる
Years ago
背中向けた恋に
なぜ むせび泣くの
My heart

雨の街は 暗い海
記憶の船 運んでゆく

Why, oh why
時をへだてた今
なぜ 心は乱れる
Years ago
背中向けた恋に
なぜ むせび泣くの

Why!? oh why
孤独は闇の中で
貴女を呼びつづける
Years ago
背中向けた恋に
なぜ むせび泣くの

Why, oh why
時をへだてた今...

Rain Regret

Trying to stay strong with one hand as I freeze
Standing in a phone booth and biting my lip
A dry automated woman's voice answering
When I ask for you
A sly rain

Why, oh why
After so much time
Why does my heart still go crazy
Years ago
I turned my back on love
But why am I now sobbing so hard
My heart

"Don't say that, I feel like dying" you said
You said it through the flame of your lighter
Your eyes filled with tears as you looked away
The windows of the sleazy hotel behind you
Showed the same sly rain

Why, oh why
After so much time
Why does my heart still go crazy
Years ago
I turned my back on love
But why am I now sobbing so hard
My heart

The rainy city is a dark sea
Your memory is a ship carrying me away

Why, oh why
After so much time
Why does my heart still go crazy
Years ago
I turned my back on love
But why am I now sobbing so hard

Why!? oh why
The loneliness I feel in the dark
Keeps calling out your name
Years ago
I turned my back on love
But why am I now sobbing so hard

Why, oh why
After so much time...
