Artist: Every Little Thing
Title: Samidare (Early Summer Rain)
Words: Mochida Kaori
Music: Tago Kunio

does this voice reach you?
can you hear this song today?
in that heart
where you are,
where you live.

early summer rain falls
wetting my shoulders
it was about this time of year
when we first met too.
do you remember?

those small white fingertips
that grip mine back
taught me
the effort of today
needed to live for tomorrow
so that we may yet see
tomorrow's morning light.

For yet another day, I scream like this to the sky
the love I got from you.
my voice, my song
I hope they will be the strength you need to live your life...

A smile
like an angel's
awaited me,
worrying over what to wear,
what expression to wear
when we meet.

facing the sun
like a dandelion
which decorates a white room
of glowing eyes
that refuse to give up on a rising new day
which makes me shut my eyes.

all my days
all my days
I keep in my heart
the words I got from you
the thank you said
with barely a whisper
the truth I must never forget

those small white fingertips
that grip mine back
taught me this.

For yet another day, I scream like this to the sky
the love I got from you.
my voice, my song
I hope they will be the strength you need to live your life...

Translator's Notes: This song's lyrics structure was like assembling something backwards. It's very confusing unless you read her meaning from the bottom up.
