Holding an oil paper umbrella, alone

  Wandering in the long, long, long

  and lonely rainy alley.

  I hope to meet

  A lilac-like

  I hope to meet a lilac-like girl with sorrow.

  She has the

  lilac-like color, lilac-like

  lilac-like fragrance, lilac-like

  lilac-like sorrow.

  Mourning in the rain.

  She mourns and wanders.

  She wanders in this lonely rainy alley.

  Holding an oil paper umbrella

  Like me.

  Like me

  Walking in silence

  Cold, forlorn, and melancholy.

  She silently approached.

  Approaching, and casting

  a gaze like a breath

  She drifts by

  like a dream.

  Like a dream of poignant confusion.

  Like a dream drifting through

  A branch of lilac.

  This girl drifted by me.

  She was far away in silence, far away

  to the decaying hedge wall.

  She walked through the rainy alley.

  In the dirge of the rain

  She has lost her color.

  Her fragrance is scattered.

  Dissipated, even her

  breath-like gaze

  lilac-like melancholy.

  Holding an oil paper umbrella, alone

  wandering in the long, long, long

  and silent rainy lane.

  I hope to drift past

  A lilac-like

  A girl with sorrow.
