I dance and dance in the rain
My toes spin on transparent raindrops
A handful of umbrellas hover in the long rainy alleys
Big, small, red, black
But none of them belongs to me
The rain is falling haphazardly on my face
Or is it the sky's tears that are flooding the whole town
I'm just as bitter as ever.
Well, whether it's rain or tears
It's just as bitter as ever
I'm swirling in rain and tears
Trying to open my heavy, soaked hands
Knowing that there's no one to stop
No one to appreciate it either
It's raining so hard
It's blurring the sunlight that's coming down
But what can stop the sunlight? stop the sun?
It cuts through the clouds
It comes to me
I ask myself:
Do you get lost in the rain
Do you feel sad that it crashes to pieces
Or do you marvel at the colorful light it reflects in the sunlight?
I'm dancing in the rain, dancing
I'm spinning on my tiptoes in the transparent rain
The sun won't disappear because of the rain
My face is still bright under the tears
Who says that tears are always sad?
I can't stop the tears, but I can still laugh
