Fairy Rain

amaoto ga garasumado shizuku o otoshi             The sound of rain drops beads of water on the window pane.
nazekashira shizukesa ga kokoro o mitasu no       For some reason, this silence calms my heart. 

furisosogu mizu wa mori no yousei                 The pouring water nurtures the forest fairies
inochi aru subete no mono hagukunde iru           and all living things. 

kigi no ha o tsutatte fukaku tsuchi ni kaeri      Following the leaves down, returning to deep within Mother Earth,
ikusen no toshitsuki o kizande iku                it counts away thousands of years...

itsu kara ka yousei mo sugata o kakushi           The fairies have all been hiding for so long; 
isogashii mainichi ni kimochi ga fusagu no        the rush of everyday weighs down my soul.

ame no furu asa ni kiseki ga otozure              On rainy mornings, a miracle occurs;
kikoenaku natte ita utagoe ga shita               a voice I could no longer hear before has sung once more.

hitotsu mata hitotsu to ochiru mizu no merodii    The melody of the water falling over and over
osanai ano toki no komoriuta ne                   was my childhood lullaby!

ame no furu asa ni tenshi ga orite                On rainy mornings, angels descend
kawari iku kono daichi o midori ni tsutsumu       and wrap this changing earth in green.

kigi no ha o tsutatte watashi no kami o nurashi   Following the leaves down, soaking my hair   
ikusen no toshitsuki o kurikaesu no               The refrain of thousands of years...

Liner Notes from Lunar Songs 1:
This song was inspired by Mia's introduction scene, with her tear-filled 
visage in the gentle sunlight.  I put "Rain" in the title thinking, "Rain 
suits Mia!", but what she has come to hear as the sound of raindrops is
actually her own tears.

Translation Notes:
As with "Adventure Road", I had to slightly alter the line syntax on 
occasion to deal with the differences between English and Japanese syntax; 
therefore, the translations of lines 7 and 8 are transposed from their
original order.

Thanks very much to Susanna Pfeffer for the correction of the erroneous 
"guardian song" in line 12 to "lullaby".
