| Japanese (日本語歌詞) | Romaji (ローマ字) | English |
|---|---|---|
| 恋は気まぐれ 薄情 そして突然グラグラして いつも私を涙にさせるわ 恋に敗れて 傷つき 女はきれいになるとか 今はそんなのどうでもいいみたい |
Koi wa kimagure Hakujō Soshite totsuzen guragura shite Itsumo watashi o namida ni sa seru wa Koi ni yaburete Kizutsuki On'na wa kireininaru toka Ima wa son'na no dō demo ī mitai |
Love has a cruel sense of fun. It never plays by the rules. It spins us both on our heads, Turns us both into fools. It leaves me on my own With tear-stained eyes, Oh, what can I do? They say that losing at love, Breaking your heart, It only makes you look Even more beautiful. I don't believe it's true, But I see you and what can I do? |
| ほんとの名前で 呼び合う仲になりたい 遠慮をせずに電話で Ａｈ 呼び出してみたい |
Honto no namae de Yobi au naka ni naritai Enryo o sezu ni denwa de Ah Yobidashite mitai |
I wish that we could be close. Close enough to use Our real names for once, And you would say to me, "Oh, I love you so!" You'll say you won't let me go. |
| 雨に打たれて 帰るわ 女の意地は見栄じゃない あなたを好きすぎただけ 忘れるには時間が要る |
Ame ni uta rete Kaeru wa On'na no iji wa mie janai Anata o suki sugita dake Wasureru ni wa jikan ga iru |
Rain falls on me, And now I'm walking away. Tell me, do you find me More beautiful now? I'm not the kind to let You watch as I cry, So I've got to leave... I've got to forget you. |
| 明日は一日 眠るわ 女を一日休むわ あなたに望みすぎてた 私の負けじゃない 若すぎただけよ |
Asu wa ichinichi Nemuru wa On'na o ichinichi yasumu wa Anata ni nozomi sugi teta Watashi no make janai Waka sugita dake yo |
And so I'll hide Myself away from the world, Leave behind the sorrow Of a sad little girl. I thought that I had finally Won at the game. You told me it just was for fun. I suppose that I was too young. |

| 恋に敗れて 傷つき 女は綺麗になるとか 今はそんなのどうでもいいみたい |

Koi ga hajimari Owatta Imahamukashi no hatsukoi ne Darenimo hatsukoida to wa ittenai |
Love started and ended Now is my old first love I'm not telling anyone it's my first love |

| Love has a cruel sense of fun. It never plays by the rules. It spins us both on our heads, Turns us both into fools. It leaves me on my own With tear-stained eyes, Oh, what can I do? |
Cruel et perfide amour Qui ignore les lois, Qui nous a étourdis Davantage chaque jour, Puis est parti, terrible, Sans même vouloir Justifier son choix. |
Sie spielt ein grausames Spiel, hält von Regeln nicht viel, Die Liebe macht uns blind und trügt unser Gefühl. Und heiße Tränen auf den Wangen fragen: „Was soll ich tun?“ |
| They say that losing at love, Breaking your heart, It only makes you look Even more beautiful. I don't believe it's true, But I see you and what can I do? |
Mes amis voulant m'aider, M'ont expliqué, Que la peine m'embellissait Un peu plus tous les jours. Je n'y crois pas Et quand je te vois je suis dévastée. |
Es ist ein trauriger Scherz, ein gebrochenes Herz. Es wächst durch Kummer und wird schöner durch Schmerz. Und dabei seh ich dich und frage mich: „Oh, was soll ich tun?“ |
| I wish that we could be close. Close enough to use Our real names for once, And you would say to me, "Oh, I love you so!" You'll say you won't let me go. |
J'aimerais être A tes côtés, Sans plus jamais Me sentir blessée. Si seulement tu pouvais Faire table rase De notre funeste passé, Oh yeah! |
Wär ich doch noch einmal bei dir! Flüster' meinen Namen und sprich mit mir! Lass es mich noch einmal hör'n: „Oh, Ich lieb' dich so... Ich lass dich nie mehr los!“ |
| Rain falls on me, And now I'm walking away. Tell me, do you find me More beautiful now? I'm not the kind to let You watch as I cry, So I've got to leave... I've got to forget you. |
Et la pluie tombe Sur mon cœur Mais je m'en vais. Suis-je embellie par l'angoisse Qui me meurtrit? Mes larmes ne te Seront jamais révélées. Je dois t'oublier, Hélas tout est fini! |
Einsam im Regen irre ich durch die Nacht. Denkst du, dass die Trauer erst mein Feuer entfacht? Aber ich lass dich meine Tränen nicht seh'n. Ich will vergessen, ich will fort von dir geh'n. |
| And so I'll hide Myself away from the world, Leave behind the sorrow Of a sad little girl. I thought that I had finally Won at the game. You told me it just was for fun. I suppose that I was too young. |
Du monde entier Je n'ai plus qu'à me cacher, Ma peine de petite fille Je vais oublier. J'ai cru que tu Etais l'amour de ma vie, Mais de moi tu t'es bien moqué, Ne me laissant que mes regrets. |
Fern von der Welt zieh ich mich einsam zurück, wein' wie ein Kind um sein zerbrochenes Glück. Einmal nur wollte ich die Siegerin sein. Aber für dich war's nur ein Spiel... Ich war viel zu jung für dein Spiel... |

| Love has a cruel sense of fun. It never plays by the rules. It spins us both on our heads, Turns us both into fools. It leaves me on my own With tear-stained eyes, Oh, what can I do? |
Giocar crudelmente, niente regole. Con il mio amor per te che si beffa di me. Mi lascia sola con gli occhi pieni di lacrime. |
Cuando se burla de ti es cruel el amor. Yo no conté con él, por eso me humilló. El corazón ha dicho "basta" y ya no aguanto más. |
| They say that losing at love, Breaking your heart, It only makes you look Even more beautiful. I don't believe it's true, But I see you and what can I do? |
Avere un viso segnato... un cuore spezzato... dicono che facciano ammaliare e stregare. Non ci credo e continuerò a sospirare. |
A la ruleta jugué, y todo perdí. Perdí hasta la razón al no tenerte a ti. No soy ingenua pero al verte siempre vuelvo a caer. |
| I wish that we could be close. Close enough to use Our real names for once, And you would say to me, "Oh, I love you so!" You'll say you won't let me go. |
Ti prego, stai qui con me! Il mio nome potresti almeno chiamare. Mentre mi dici che mi ami, e che non mi vuoi lasciare. |
Si me pudieras amar, decirme tu nombre, el de verdad... Nos cogeríamos de la mano. Ya no te podrías marchar. |
| Rain falls on me, And now I'm walking away. Tell me, do you find me More beautiful now? I'm not the kind to let You watch as I cry, So I've got to leave... I've got to forget you. |
Pioggia che cade, me ne vado da qui. Dillo: non mi trovi più bella così? Non mi guardare adesso mentre piango. Devo andar via, devo dimenticare. |
Cae la lluvia mojando la ciudad. Al irme seguro que me quieres al fin. Pero me voy, no vas a verme llorar. Tengo mi orgullo y nuestra historia acabó. |
| And so I'll hide Myself away from the world, Leave behind the sorrow Of a sad little girl. I thought that I had finally Won at the game. You told me it just was for fun. I suppose that I was too young. |
Cerco un riparo che mi porti lontano, lasciando il dolore di una ragazza in fondo. Credevo sì di averti già rapito, ma presto il mio sogno è svanito. Dimmelo che stavi giocando... |
Huyo de ti, ya me cansé de jugar. Era una niña que esperaba ganar. Pero el juguete de mi amor se rompió. Ahora que lo sé se acabó. Antes que sufrir digo adiós. |

Commentary
The following is commentary given on the STAFF'S VOICE section of the booklet included in Rhythm Tengoku Zen Kyoku-shu.

| つんく♂ このゲームの「Rainy〜雨に打たれて〜」をつくったとき、いい曲ができたし、これは絶対にDS版に入れなきゃダメだと思ったんです。ゲームを通じてたくさんの人が聴いてくれるし、キャナァーリ倶楽部にとってもいい話やと思ったんです。曲さえ渡せば、任天堂の人たちが、とても魅力的なゲームに料理してくれるはずやと。それで、とてもドラマチックでカッコイイゲームができるのを待っていたら……「カラテ家」でした。めちゃいい歌詞やのに、「パンチキーック」ですからね（笑）。 | Tsunku♂: When I created the song "Struck by the Rain" for this game, I thought it was a great song and that it absolutely had to be included in the DS version. I thought that many people would listen to it through the game and that it would be a good story for Canary CLUB. I knew that if I gave them the song, the people at Nintendo would cook it up into a very attractive game. So I was waiting for a very dramatic and cool game to be made and it was...... "Karate Man". The lyrics are really good, but then there's "Punch, Kick" (laughs). |
| 小黒 曲を送ったときに、任天堂さんから「『パンチキーック』って入れていいですか？」って問い合わせがあって、「もしやゃ…？」とは思っていたんです。さらに「つんく♂さんの声で『パンチキーック』もいただけますか？」というリクエストもあって……やっぱり「カラテ家」でしたね（笑）。最終的には、この声は入らなかったようなんですけど。 | Oguro: When we sent the song, Nintendo asked "Can we include "Punch, Kick"?" and I thought "What if...?" They also requested "Can we also have "Punch, Kick" in Tsunku♂-san's voice?"... After all, it is "Karate Man" (laughs). In the end, I don't think that voice was included in the final version. |
| 米 もともとGBA版の「カラテ家」にも、歌っぽいものが入ってましたので、DS版でも新しい歌を入れられたらいいなということだったんです。それに、「パンチキーック」というアクションをやりたいがために、この曲を選んだといってもいいくらいで、そのくらいリズムがビッタリだったんです。あのう…マズかったですか？（笑） | Yone: Originally, the GBA version of "Karate Man" had a song-like tune, so we thought it would be a good idea to include a new song in the DS version. I could say that I chose this song because I wanted to do the "Punch, Kick" action, and the rhythm was so perfect for it. Was I wrong? (Laughs) |
