Umbrella

Lyrics & Composition: Kazutoshi Sakurai

The wet asphalt's covered in the heat of the sun
and water vapor rises
The passerbys walk with their umbrellas closed
as they avoid the puddles on the sidewalk

I feel like humming a song
in this wonderful moment

I felt it, I believed
that even the scenery in my heart
would become clear just like the clouds disappearing
after the rain stops
My opened umbrella
I quietly folded it up
and the now distant sky
beckons us

The world's being manipulated and run
by promises made under the table
The concerns of the powerless, small citizens
are treated as if they never existed from the get-go

There are some things you can't do anything about
That too is the hard fact of things

I'd locked it away, I'd shut it out
No matter what happens
the only one I can rely on is my own self
I stubbornly believed that
A bent umbrella
Right next to me,
you were soaked, unable to avoid the cold rain

And on certain days, sometimes,
it feels like there are days
when the time the sun is facing away
only from me is so long, but...

I want to feel it, I want to believe
that even the scenery in my heart
will be clear just like the clouds disappearing
after the rain stops
My opened umbrella
I quietly folded it up
and the now distant sky
beckons us
Tomorrow beckons us

Umbrella

Sakushi & Sakkyoku: Sakurai Kazutoshi

Nureta asufaruto ga taiyou no netsu wo abite
Suijouki ga tachinoboru
Michi yuku hito wa kasa wo toji aruiteku
Hodou no mizutamari wo sakenagara

Hanauta demo utaitai kibun da yo
Kono suteki na shunkan ni

Kanjite ita shinjite ita
Mune no naka no keshiki mo
Ame ga agatta ato kumo ga kieru you ni
Sumiwatatteku tte koto
Hiraite ita Umbrella
Shizuka ni tatandara
Mou tooku no misora wa
Bokura ni temaneki shite iru

Sode no shita de kawasareta yakusoku ni
Sekai wa ayatsurarete ugoiteru
Chikara naki chiisa na tami no tsugou nado
Hata kara nakatta you ni atsukawareru

Dou nimo naranai koto mo aru'n da yo
Sore mo genjitsu de

Kagi shite ita tozashite ita
Donna koto ga okitemo
Tayori ni naru nowa jibun hitori dake
Katakuna ni sou omotteta
Oremagatta Umbrella
Tonari ni ita kimi wa
Tsumetai ame wo yokerezu ni nurete ita

To aru hi niwa tokidoki wa
Boku ni dake taiyou wa
Soppo wo muite iru jikan ga
Nagai you ni omoeru hi mo aru kedo

Kanjite itai shinjite itai
Mune no naka no keshiki wa
Ame ga agatta ato kumo ga kieru you ni
Sumiwatatteku tte koto
Hiraite ita Umbrella
Shizuka ni tatandara
Mou tooku no misora wa
Bokura ni temaneki shite iru
Ashita ga temaneki shite iru
