lyrics

If I was the flower
If I was the only flower
That blooms on the tiny planet of the little prince
You wouldn’t try to pick me up
If I was the only river that flows on the continent
You wouldn’t try to dam me up
If I was the only star
That shines on the eastern sky at dawn
You wouldn’t even have to think about naming me
But I guess we are only lovers
You have tried to change me into someone I never was
I have tried to change you into someone you never were
Love may evolve or dissolve
But we were just afraid of the change
That was inevitable
Rain drops, drops, drops, drops, drops, drops, drops, drops, drops
On my face
Rain drops, drops, drops, drops, drops, drops, drops, drops, drops
On your face
Tear drops, drops, drops, drops, drops, drops, drops, drops, drops
On my face
Tear drops, drops, drops, drops, drops, drops, drops, drops, drops
On your face
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
Let the river overflow
Let the flowers bloom
Let the rain fall upon us again and again
That is the only kind of eternity I can ever offer you
My love, my dear
But you see
Nobody disowns nobody
Because nobody ever owns nobody
Love has been always free
But I am finally setting you free
Rain drops, drops, drops, drops, drops, drops, drops, drops, drops
On my face
Rain drops, drops, drops, drops, drops, drops, drops, drops, drops
On your face
Tear drops, drops, drops, drops, drops, drops, drops, drops, drops
On my face
Tear drops, drops, drops, drops, drops, drops, drops, drops, drops
On your face
Rain drops, drops, drops, drops, drops, drops, drops, drops, drops
On my face



もし私があの小さな王子様がいる小さな星に咲く
たった一つの花だったなら
あなたはきっと私を摘もうとはしないでしょう

もし私が
この大陸に流れる
たった一つの川だったなら
あなたはきっと流れをせき止めようとはしないでしょう

もし私が
夜明けの東の空に輝く
たった一つの星だったなら
あなたはきっと、私に名を付けたりはしないでしょう

でも私たちは
ただの恋人で
あなたは私を違う誰かに変えようともがき
私はあなたを違う何かに変えようともがいた
愛は消えたり形を変えたりするけれど
私たちは避けがたい変化を恐れた


雨がおちる　
私の顔に
雨が落ちる
あなたの顔に
涙がおちる
私の顔に
涙が落ちる
あなたの顔に



雨よ降れ　
雨よ降れ
雨よ降れ
川が溢れ
花を咲かせて
そしてもう一度
雨が私たちの上に降り注ぐ
何度も　何度も
私が誰かにあげられる永遠なんて
それだけ
でも
誰も誰かを手放したりできないのは
誰も誰かを所有なんてできないから
愛はいつだって自由だった
でもやっとあなたは自由になれる

雨がおちる　
私の顔に
雨が落ちる
あなたの顔に
涙がおちる
私の顔に
涙が落ちる
あなたの顔に
