(On Rain) 1. I am weeping, and just then, the rain arrives! It competes with me! Such audacity…! 2. Yesterday, in love's spray my eyes grew wet. Today, in rain's spray my body grows wet. This is what you call the timing of time! 3. Don't leave, the rain has just begun! Shall we two together weep a little more? 4. From rain I learn: tears should not be stopped too soon. 5. My city is rain's city. That rain… be it in the eyes or in the sky. 6. This morning I suddenly wondered, why so much rain? How did the sky know how I am doing! 7. Raindrops on lips, tears' sweetness in eyes. 8. Rain overflowing; paper boats, innocent love… where…where! 9. If you wish to get wet, come when the rain has stopped. …My tears are enough! 10. When clouds roar, from within me you too scold me then! 11. Seeing the wind, I had found courage! Alas, just then the rain began! 12. All night, rain. All night, tears. In morning's laughter, night's color! 13. If love's name is sunshine, then come, let us two get drenched in rain and make stories! 14. The sky is open, it can weep as it pleases! The room is closed, sitting in shadows I watch tears! 15. The rain that hides your tears, my tears hide that very rain. 16. In every stain of rain today only the scent of tears. How many days have passed, I cannot smell the rain! 17. The moment rain touches, eyes burn! 18. You left, and immediately the rain began! 19. I thought you were rain! But you were only clouds! 20. Rain will fall right now! You and I! Let tomorrow's rain wet the earth of my grave, I have no regrets!
