井上陽水 – 傘がない

Yosui Inoue – I don’t have an umbrella     

“An increasing number of young people commit suicide in urban areas”  

Written in a corner of the newspaper delivered this morning  

Meanwhile, my imminent issue is today’s rain  

I don’t have an umbrella  

I gotta hit the road

I have to come to see you

I have to visit your town,

Getting soaked to the skin

The cold rain has chilled my heart

I now cannot think of anything, except you

It’s a good thing, isn’t it?

In a TV program,

Someone is talking about the future issues of this country with a grave look

Meanwhile, my imminent issue is today’s rain

I don’t have an umbrella

I gotta hit the road

I have to come to see you

I have to visit your town,

Getting soaked to the skin

The cold rain falls onto my eyes

I now cannot see anything, except you

It’s a good thing, isn’t it?

I gotta hit the road

I have to come to see you

I have to visit your town,

Getting soaked to the skin

I gotta hit the road

I have to come to see you

I have to visit your town, through the rain

I gotta hit the road

I have to come to see you

I have to travel while getting drenched

I don’t have an umbrella
