タイトスカート アクセルを踏みこんで
In a tight skirt, stepping on the accelerator,
一人ジープを走らせる雨の街
Driving alone through the rainy town,
夜がにじむ車道の端
On the edge of the street where night blurs,
横づけて Friday night
Pulling up beside you on a Friday night,
ざわめきを歩きだす
I step into the bustling atmosphere,
遊びなれてる友達のいる店で
At a familiar hangout with my friends,
気安いジョーク挨拶に受けとめて
Welcoming casual jokes and greetings,
去年の夏思い出せば
If I recall last summer,
陽に灼けた Oh! smilin' face
That sun-kissed Oh! smilin' face,
二人目の彼はいない
There's no second boyfriend.
The rainy night lady
The rainy night lady
鏡の中にたたずみ Lonely midnight
Lingering in the mirror, lonely midnight
The rainy night lady
The rainy night lady
そっとルージュをすべらす Tell me who you are
Gently gliding the rouge, tell me who you are
そうあなたは見知らぬ私
Yes, you are a stranger to me
愛に流されもう涙ふかないわ
Swept away by love, I won't shed tears anymore
クールな恋がいつだって似合ってる
Cool love always suits me just fine
去年ならば迷っていた
Last year, I would have been lost
仕事さえ for myself
Even my work, it's for myself
続けるわ 夢をめざし
I'll keep going, aiming for my dreams
The rainy night lady
The rainy night lady
幾つの恋が過ぎても Lonely daybreak
No matter how many loves have passed, lonely daybreak
The rainy night lady
The rainy night lady
自分自身のシナリオ Tell me who I am
In my own scenario, tell me who I am
演じるの そうよ明日も
I’m playing it, yes, tomorrow too
The rainy night lady
The rainy night lady
軽いステップきざんで Lonely dancin'
With a light step, I’m lonely dancin'
The rainy night lady
The rainy night lady
ふとふりむけば聞こえた Shiny summer day
If I suddenly turn around, I can hear it, shiny summer day
あぁあの日の遠い潮騒
Ah, the distant sound of the waves from that day
まぶしい Season
Dazzling season
