Rain at Three in the Afternoon (Gogo Sanji no Ame)
Lyrics: ISSAY
Music: Mari Fukuhara
Japanese
やさしい雨の午後三時
濡れる鋪道をたたく音
子守唄のリズム
傘をさした人影
まるでサイレントフィルム達
モノクロのノイズ
こんな日には誰もかすんで見える
雨がどんな罪も洗い流すさ
赤いレンガ 雨粒
遠く聞こえた冬の日々
さよならのコトバ
にじむ街のざわめき
ゆれる心はメトロノーム
唄うガードレール
こんな日には誰もゆっくり歩く
雨がどんな歌も聴いてくれるさ
…雨が君の涙を隠してくれるといいね…

Yasashii ame no gogo sanji
Nureru hodou wo tataku oto
komori uta no rizumu
Kasa wo sashita hitokage
Marude sairento firumu tachi
Monokuro no noizu
Konna hi ni wa dare mo kasunde mieru
Ame ga donna tsumi mo arai nagasu sa
Akai renga Amatsubu
Tooku kikoeta fuyu no hibi
Sayonara no kotoba
Nijimu machi no zawameki
Yureru kokoro wa metoronoomu
Utau gaado reeru
Konna hi ni wa dare mo yukkuri aruku
Ame ga donna uta mo kiite kureru sa
… Ame ga kimi no namida wo kakushite kureru to ii ne…

A gentle rain falls at three in the afternoon
Hitting the drenched pavement with the rhythm of a lullaby
A silhouette under an umbrella
Like the character of a silent film amidst black and white noise
Everyone looks like a blur on such days
Because the rain washes away all sins
Red bricks and raindrops
Heard from afar,
bidding farewell to winter days
The buzz of the blotted city
The wavering heart a metronome, a singing guard rail
Everyone strolls slow on such days
Because the rain listens to all their songs
… Wouldn’t it be nice if the rain would hide your tears…
