Ah, what rain, a heavy downpour!
When she smiles so beautifully, it's a storm of rain!
Ah, what rain, a heavy downpour!
When she smiles so beautifully, it's a storm of rain!
As the rain pours down from every side,
An umbrella opens up inside my heart.
Two legs became four, two hands became eight,
What happened, how did it happen, all sorts of things have happened!
Like a peacock spreading its feathers,
When she dances in the rain,
Like a railway bridge,
Look, my heart rattles and shakes too!
What happened, how did it happen, all sorts of things have happened!
Ah, what rain, a heavy downpour!
When she smiles so beautifully, it's a storm of rain!
Thana nan nan nana
Thana nan nan nana
Thana nan nan nana... na na na na...
Thana nan nan nana
Thana nan nan nana
Thana nan nan nana... na na na na... aaa...
A song, a song, an unsung song,
The rain itself is singing an unheard song!
For bringing you and me together,
Give a warm salute to the rain!
A part of me is missing,
Look for it inside yourself!
It feels like magic,
It feels like a brand new trick!
Like a spinning top,
A sweet craze is swirling in my head!
Where is the angel? Where is my angel?
She is dancing happily right here!
There is no one else quite like you,
Who else would tell you this but me?
Giving me just two little eyes,
God created me and sent me down,
Even these eyes are not enough to take you in,
Why did He create someone so breathtaking?
A butterfly of a girl,
Fluttering softly right in my heart,
A flower and she are one and the same,
She has completely killed me with her charm!
Where am I going? Where should I go?
My heart staggers here in pure intoxication!
Ah, what rain, a heavy downpour!
When she smiles so beautifully, it's a warm, fiery rain!
Ah, what rain, a heavy downpour!
When she smiles so beautifully, it's a warm, fiery rain!
As the rain weaves and pours relentlessly,
Lightning arrives holding an umbrella,
The sky split in two, the earth broke into pieces,
By the warmth of my breath, even the rain turned hot!
No one needs to hold out an umbrella
To block this rain,
No one needs to build a dam
To hold back my heart!
Celebrate, celebrate, dance with joy and celebrate!
