Translation of the song 雨のリグレット artist Junichi Inagaki
雨のリグレット
Rain of Regret
凍える淋しさを 片手で支えて
I maintain this frozen loneliness with one hand
電話のボックスで くちびる噛んでる
And bite my lips in the phone booth
乾いた交換の 声が優しげに
If the dry automatic voice gently says
使われてませんと告げれば
“This phone cannot be used” then it’s
しのび雨
downpouring rain
Why, oh why
Why, oh why
時をへだてた今
Are we separated by time now
なぜ 心は乱れる
Why, is my heart dismayed
Years ago
Years ago
背中向けた恋に
By the love I turned my back on
なぜ むせび泣くの
Why am I choked with tears
My heart
My heart
今更そんなこと 死にたくなるわと
“Too late at this point it’s making want to die”
貴女がライターの 炎の向こうで
You say from the other side of the lighter's flame
涙にふくらんだ 瞳をそらした
You avoided my eyes that were swollen by tears
盛り場のホテルの窓にも
Here at the hotel’s window at the amusement park too
しのび雨
Is this downpouring rain
Why, oh why
Why, oh why
時をへだてた今
Are we separated by time now
なぜ 心は乱れる
Why, is my heart dismayed
Years ago
Years ago
背中向けた恋に
By the love I turned my back on
なぜ むせび泣くの
Why am I choked with tears
My heart
My heart
雨の街は 暗い海
The town of rain is carrying
記憶の船 運んでゆく
A boat of my memories to the dark sea
Why, oh why
Why, oh why
時をへだてた今
Are we separated by time now
なぜ 心は乱れる
Why, is my heart dismayed
Years ago
Years ago
背中向けた恋に
By the love I turned my back on
なぜ むせび泣くの
Why am I choked with tears
Why!? oh why
Why!? Oh why
孤独は闇の中で
Is solitude continuing to call your
貴女を呼びつづける
Name admits all the darkness
Years ago
Years ago
背中向けた恋に
Why am I choked with tears
なぜ むせび泣くの
By the love I turned my back on
Why, oh why
Why, oh why
時をへだてた今...
Are we separated by time now
