Hasn't the answer to that already been found?

Frustration, papa's preaching

It's still going on and on

Intonation, I wonder if my words

Have been properly conveyed to you?

An invitation to the musical paradise

Shred the beat until it is torn into pieces

Don't be afraid and shout

It's fine to become the self you want to be

Things like worthless common sense
Just trample on all of it

An invitation to the musical paradise

JAPANESE lyrics / romaji / english translation:

失くしたものを拾い集めて

子供の消えた砂場を歩く

これからきっと雨が降るだろう

鈴によく似た声を震わす

Nakushita mono wo hiroiatsumete

Kodomo no kieta sunaba wo aruku

Korekara kitto ame ga furu darou

Suzu ni yoku nita koe wo furuwasu

Picking up the lost pieces

I walk in the sandbox now empty of children

After this, rain will probably begin to fall

A bell-like voice trembles

手を伸ばしたくらいじゃ

届かないような距離で

もう少し寄り道をしていこう？

傘の無いフリして話した日のように

Te wo nobashita kurai ja

Todokanai you na kyori de

Mou sukoshi yorimichi wo shiteikou?

Kasa no nai furi shite hanashita hi no you ni

With the length of my outstretched arm

I am at a distance that seems unable to reach

Let's go on a detour for just a little longer?

Like the day I called out to you, pretending not to have an umbrella

心の糸を手繰り寄せ

いつか　結び目に気付くのなら

これから君と雨宿り

濡れた瞼の中に　傘を差す

Kokoro no ito wo taguriyose

Itsuka musubime ni kiduku no nara

Korekara kimi to amayadori

Nureta mabuta no naka ni kasa wo sasu

Pulling through the threads of your heart

If I am to find a knot in them someday

After this, I'll take shelter from the rain with you

In the vision between your wet eyelashes, I hold out an umbrella

思い返せば映画みたいな

恋をするほど幸せでした

それでも僕はわかっていたんだ

この世はやがて終わっていくんだ

Omoikaeseba eiga mitai na

Koi wo suru hodo shiawase deshita

Soredemo boku wa wakatteitanda

Kono yo wa yagate owatteikunda

Looking back, we were in complete bliss

Like the love portrayed in movies

But even then, I had known

This world would soon come to an end

手を伸ばしたくらいじゃ

届かないような距離で

世界が泣き止むまで待とう？

あの日の気持ちが雨に溶けるまで

Te wo nobashita kurai ja

Todokanai you na kyori de

Sekai ga nakiyamu made matou?

Ano hi no kimochi ga ame ni tokeru made

With the length of my outstretched arm

I am at a distance that seems unable to reach

Let's wait until the world ends its tears?

Until the feelings of that day melt in the rain

解けた糸は結わいても

決して結び目が消えないように

これから君と雨宿り

止まない涙を拭う

Toketa ito wa yuwaitemo

Kesshite musubime ga kienai you ni

Korekara kimi to amayadori

Yamanai namida wo nuguu

Even if the loosened threads are retied

I'll hope that our knot will never disappear

After this, I'll take shelter from the rain with you

Wiping away your unstopping tears

ひとつひとつの思い出が

もしも間違いと言われるなら

これから君と雨宿り

濡れた瞼の中に傘を差す

Hitotsu hitotsu no omoide ga

Moshimo machigai to iwareru nara

Korekara kimi to amayadori

Nureta mabuta no naka ni kasa wo sasu

If each and every one of these memories

Are to be called a mistake

After this, I'll take shelter from the rain with you

In the vision between your wet eyelashes, I hold out an umbrella

顔を隠さず泣いている

愛しての鈴が響く

Kao wo kakasazu naiteiru

Aishite no suzu ga hibiku

As you cry with your face uncovered

The bell calling "love me" resounds

世界がふたりだけみたい

Sekai ga futari dake mitai

The world seems like just the two of us

でも

Demo

But

想い想われ　恋焦がれ

空をため息の雲で包む

これから君と雨宿り

止まない涙を拭う

Omoi omoware koi kogare

Sora wo tameiki no kumo de tsutsumu

Korekara kimi to amayadori

Yamanai namida wo nuguu

To think and to be thought of, deeply in love

The sky is engulfed with clouds of sighs

After this, I'll take shelter from the rain with you

Wiping away your unstopping tears

心の糸を手繰り寄せ

いつかその先に気付くのなら

「僕を忘れてくれますか」

君に嫌われるようにつぶやいた

Kokoro no ito wo taguriyose

Itsuka sono saki ni kiduku no nara

"Boku wo wasurete kuremasu ka"

Kimi ni kirawareru you ni tsubuyaita

Pulling through the threads of your heart

If we are to discover that near future someday

"Could you please forget me?"

I whispered in order to be hated by you

*Translator's Note 1:

Cat's cradle is a two-person game played with a string tied into a knot from both ends. While not directly addressed, the image of cat's cradle is incorporated into the song through the constant motifs of "thread" and "knots". The duo's relationship is particularly emphasized by the necessity for two players and the knot's symbolism, as the cat cradle thread is completed when the two ends of the string are tied together and the completed shape is also in a loop, which goes on for all eternity. As such, the loosened or tied condition of the thread further expands on the emotions described in the rest of the lyrics.

*Translator's Note 2:

Taking shelter in the rain together is a romantic trope used often in movies and manga, but it can also be interpreted as a situation in which two people are forced in one place together, unable to leave until the rain stops.
