Amefuri no Toki

I’ll never quite understand people
Who say that they don’t like the rain.
Those who hide underneath their umbrellas,
And grunt that the weather’s a pain.

Because rain’s not just good for the planet,
But it’s also good for the soul.
In the same way it grows trees and flowers,
It helps to make my heart whole.

I’m glad I’m not that type of a person—
“Amefuri no toki, amari genki janai;”
No, “amefuri no toki ga daisuki” for me,
Underneath the lovely gray sky.

*"Amefuri no toki, amari genki janai (desu)." (Ah-meh foo-ree no toh-kee, ah-mah-ree gen-kee jah-nai dess.) (When it rains, I don't feel very energetic/well.)
*"Amefuri no toki ga daisuki (desu)." (Ah-meh foo-ree no toh-kee gah dai-ski dess.) (I love it when it rains.)
