梅の実がなくなる頃、音もなく
小さな棚田の一枚一枚に静かに降り注ぐ雨
「米作り」に欠かすことのできない雨
稲たちに栄養をゆきわたらせ、しっかりと根付かせ
やがて来る暑い夏にたくましく育つ力をつけさせてくれる雨
田んぼの畔の向こうに霞むかやぶき屋根の民家
かやぶき屋根と静かに降る雨はよく似合う
When plum fruit is gone, there is no sound
Rain falling quietly on each small rice terrace
Rain which is indispensable for "rice making"
Let rice grow nutrition, firmly rooted
Rain will keep me strong enough to grow up in the hot summer coming soon
House of thatched roof over the banks of the rice paddies
The rain which quietly falls with the thatched roof suits you well
