You might recognize the title. This is the first of four songs that inspired Comedic Mechanism: Parade of the Jane Does (or at least the chapter titles).
Notes:
雨降り “amefuri” (rain) also refers to vertical streaks in degraded film.
There are a lot of fill in the blanks in this song; I aimed for reasonable conclusions but many of the phrases can be linked in different ways. There are also very few subject markers.

雨降りの悪い夢
Amefuri no Warui Yume
A Dream of Unpleasant Rain
deadman
lyrics：眞呼 music：aie
何処か 諦めにも似た凍る目は あの頃じゃない
きっと 受け入れてくれない 太陽は眩しすぎる
dokoka akirame ni mo nita kooru me wa ano koro ja nai
kitto ukeiretekurenai taiyou ga mabushisugiru
With frozen eyes a shade from resignation it is not as it was
I am certain I will not be accepted; the sun is too bright
消えてしまった事は 君の所為じゃない
魔法は無くしたけど もうおやすみ
kieteshimatta koto wa kimi no sei ja nai
mahou wa nakushita kedo mou oyasumi
It isn’t your fault what is missing is gone
I lost the magic, but sleep is calling
箱の中の鳴き声 捨て猫に降り出す雨
hako no naka no nakigoe suteneko ni furidasu ame
Rain falls on an abandoned cat crying in a cardboard box
二度と目覚めないのは 君の所為じゃない
魔法は無くしたけど もうおやすみ
nido to mezamenai no wa kimi no sei ja nai
mahou wa nakushita kedo mou oyasumi
It isn’t your fault I will not wake again
I lost the magic, but sleep is calling
To those who can’t show their weaknesses
I love you, you are my family, come here
憂鬱な時 曇る理由は 悲しむと降り出す雨
yuuutsu na toki kumoru wake wa kanashimu to furidasu ame
The reason it’s cloudy when I’m depressed
—is because rain falls whenever I mourn
自分を愛する事は 難しいけれど
醜く無様でさえ 神も俺も
jibun’ wo ai suru koto wa muzukashii keredo
minikuku buzama de sae kami mo ore mo
It is difficult to love oneself, but
God is as much a wretch as I
時が連れ行く先に 種をばら蒔いて
続いてゆく過去さえ 花と命を
toki ga tsureyuku saki ni tane wo baramaite
tsudzuiteyuku kako sae hana to inochi wo
Sow seeds wherever time takes you
Pasts set in motion deliver life and flowers
To those who can’t show their weaknesses
I love you. You are my family, come here
白昼に降る雨 虹は無いけれど
楽園の扉は開けておくよ ずっと
hakuchuu ni furu ame niji wa nai keredo
rakuen’ no tobira wa aketeoku yo zutto
A midday rain leaves no rainbow this time,
But I’ll keep the gates to paradise forever open
Notes:
Some of the rap kana doesn’t match up with the printed lyrics on the video, so I changed the romaji section to match what I heard but left the video kanji lyrics the same nonetheless. (caveat: my ears are chronically ill) The translation mixes both when they are different. (This is only in a few places.)
that’s a secret
kimi ni naisho de sekai ga mawaru yomaigoto ga uwasa ni naru
kyouri ga un’mei ni umarekawaru
sono shun’kan’ wo minogashitemo kimi wa kimi no mama
da to shitemo
choice no ken’ri to done no gimu wa
hikidashi ni shimatta man’ma
kyou mo yoru ga hajimaru sa omae ga kimeru ban’
nani tanin’goto de iru tsumori kai?
“That’s a secret.”
Unbeknownst to you, the world revolves in secret—nonsense turns to rumor
And in that distance inconsequential drivel is reborn as fate
If you miss it, let that moment by, you’ll remain just you
Even so, that way
The privilege of choice and the responsibility to get it all done
Remain shut in the cupboard
It’s time for tonight to begin and it’s your turn to choose
So why are you acting like this doesn’t concern you?!
足りないのはあと少しの勇気の魔法
震えてるのは怯えてるだけじゃない
この胸の大きな好奇心が扉を叩く
tarinai no wa ato sukoshi no yuuki no mahou
furueteru no wa obieteru dake ja nai
kono mune no ooki na koukishin’ ga tobira wo tataku
What you’re missing is just a little bit of magic we call courage
See? Look at me—this shaking isn’t just because I’m afraid
It’s the curiosity inside me banging on the doors of my soul to be set free
Ready! Go! Let’s get it on!
踏み出して 感じる方へ
答え合わせは後でいいでしょう？
今のあなたの感情が叫ぶ
理屈だけが正解じゃない
Don’t you think?
ready! go! let’s get it on!
fumidashite kan’jiru hou e
kotaeawase wa ato de ii deshou?
ima no anata no kan’jou ga sakebu
rikutsu dake ga seikai ja nai
don’t you think?
Ready! Go! Let’s get it on!
Take that big step forward, where your feelings lead you
The questions and answers can wait, don’t you think?
Can’t you hear your emotions howling?
Logic isn’t all there is to the truth—
Don’t you think?
kikoeteru hon’tou no atsui tamashii
don’na yume mo akiramenakute ii
sono kyoukai wo koeta mukou de
anata dake no un’mei ga matteiru kara
I can hear it, the voice of your burning soul
You don’t have to give up, not on any of your dreams!
Because you see, on the other side of that boundary
Fate’s waiting for you, a fate all your own!
Let me stop!!!
安寧って名の墓石の裏の虫みたいな懺悔
暴くことこそがキミの使命
なのにいつまで味のしないガムを噛みしめる？
とおくに街から姿を消した魔物
それはきっとエセ科学の賜物
丑三つ時に真実が目を覚ます
なのに眠ったままでいるつもりかい
yeah! let me stop!!
an’nei tte na no haka no ura no mushi mitai na zan’ge
abaku koto koso ga kimi no shimei
nano ni itsumade aji no shinai gum wo kamishimeru?
tooku ni machi kara sugata wo keshita mamono
sore wa kitto esekagaku no tamamono
ushi-mitsu-doki ni shin’jitsu ga me wo samasu
nano ni nemutta mama de iru tsumori kai
Yeah! Let me stop!!
The public’s idea of peace is but a self-serving confession in the shadow of gravestones
Exposing the truth is your mission, your calling!
So why do you keep chewing on gum that’s long lost its flavor?
What about the magic beasts long driven from the light of the city?
They’ve got to be the product of a quackery of science
The truth wakes in the witching hour—the dead of night
So are you going to let yourself sleep through it or what?!
afureru hodo mashiteku kitai ni furetara
mou mayowanai nigedashitari shinai
dare yori mo jibun’ dake wa uragiritakunai kara
Once you’re touched by the kind of anticipation that only keeps growing
I guarantee you won’t hesitate, you eon’t run away any more
Because more than anyone else, you don’t want to betray yourself
Ready! Go! Let’s get it on!
あなたから紡ぎ出してよ
特別なことは何もないわ
信じたい気持ちに従って
体が動きたいままに As you wish
眠ってる可能性 わかってるでしょ
誰も知らない秘めたエネルギー
心の声に素直になれば
きっと奇跡のカタチが見えてくるはず
ready! go! let’s get it on!
anata kara tsumugidashite yo
tokubetsu na koto wa nani mo nai wa
shin’jitai kimochi ni shitagatte
karada ga ugokitai mama ni as you wish
nemutteru kanousei wakatteru desho
dare mo shiranai himeta energy
kokoro no koe ni sunao ni nareba
kitto kiseki no katachi ga mietekuru hazu
Ready! Go! Let’s get it on!
It’s your turn to spool out our next adventure
There ain’t anything special about it
You just have to follow that feeling that wants to believe
Let your body move the way it wants to, just as you wish
Can’t you see the possibilities sleeping inside of you?
You’ve got an energy kept secret from all but you
Once you learn to listen to the voice calling in your soul
You’ll learn to see the shape of the miracles that will form
me wo sorasazu ni utsushite yo sono hitomi ni
ukeireru no wa anata shidai yo
jibun’ no kara wo yaburisutetara
sekai ga hiraketemieru wa dakara
Don’t look away, let it be reflected in your eyes!
Whether or not it takes hold all depends on you
Free yourself from the shell that binds you
You’ll see the world open up like never before
Let’s go get it on!
踏み出して 感じる方へ
答えなら気づいているんでしょう？
その境界を越えた向こうで
あなただけの運命が待っているから
未来へ繋ぐ新しいメロディ
let’s go get it on!
fumidashite kan’jiru hou e
kotae nara kidzuiteirun’ deshou?
sono kyoukai wo koeta mukou de
anata dake no un’mei ga matteiru kara
mirai e tsunagu atarashii melody
Let’s get it on!
Take that big step forward, where your feelings lead you
You should know the answer by now, right?
It’s there on the other side of that boundary
Fate’s waiting for you, a fate all your own!
So let sing a new melody that takes us into the future!
I’ve wanted to revisit the translation of this classic song for a while, so I did a blind re-translation of it.
I’ve lost a brain’s worth of brain cells between now and then so I expect there to be many differences.

kawaru ki nai shin’gou rojou aoneko
The streets are stained with twilight
Under rivers of flowing shining headlights
The signal’s in no mood to change, like the blue street-cats walking
紫の目の少女 路上やってるバンドのナンバー
自分が揺らぐ感じ 煙る眼差し
murasaki no me no shoujo rojou yatteru band no number
jibun’ ga yuragu kan’ji kemuru manazashi
The girl with the violet eyes, the band doing its number on the steret
Each swaying to their own rhytmn, eyes filled with smoke
赤と白の工場の煙突が 欄干のロープが
揺れている ゆらゆらら
aka to shiro no koujou no en’totsu ga ran’kan’ no rope ga
yureteiru yurayurara
The red and white factory smokestacks the rope on the railing
They’s swinging, swinging baby
痺れるような警鐘を吐いては 踏切の端
フェンスを揺すってる少女
shibireru you na keishou wo haite wa fumikiri no hashi
fence wo yusutteru shoujo
It sends shivers down your spine how the warning whistle screams on the edge
The girl shaking the fence by crossing
鉄塔ほら落ちるあの子
空中から見てるあたし
現実ほら虚ろな目で 風が頬殴る
tettou hora ochiru ano ko
kuuchuu kara miteru atashi
gen’jitsu hora utsuro na me de kaze ga hoho naguru
Look at her fall from the transmission tower
From mid-air I’m watching
Look at reality with your empty eyes as the wind beats against your face!
鉄骨打つ体の奥 脈打ってる 楽しそうに
心臓だけ拾い上げて 夕日に翳してる
tekkotsu utsu karada no oku myaku utteru tanoshisou ni
shin’zou dake hiroiagete yuuhi ni kazashiteru
The steel beats deep in my body, pulsating in ecstasy
Taking only my heart and lifting it against the setting sun
夕日に融ける橋
走り去ってくダンプのミラー
地表も揺らぐ感じ 歪む砂利道
yuuhi ni tokeru hashi
hashirisatteku dump no mirror
chihyou mo yuragu kan’ji yugamu jarimichi
Watch the bridge melting in the sunset
In the rearview of the dump truck speeding away
Even the earth sways in the twists of the gravel road
残飯漁る少女 路駐鳴ってるバイクのブザー
墓標が並んだようなビル 伸びる影
zan’ban asaru shoujo rochuu natteru bike no buzzer
bohyou ga naran’da you na biru nobiru kage
While the girl sifts through leftovers, a parked motorcycle’s alarm sounds
Buildings arranged like gravestones cast lengthening shadows
黒と白のコントラストが
見えないものが見えている ゆらゆらら
kuro to shiro no contrast ga
mienai mono ga mieteiru yurayurara
With the contrasts of blacks and whites
Unseeable things come to light, swinging baby
公園のベンチに臓物撒いては集るカラスに
殺意を向けてる少女
kouen no bench ni zoumotsu maite wa takaru karasu ni
satsui wo muketeru shoujo
At crows slinging innards, crowding in murders on park benches
The girl, she wishes murder
鉄橋ほら揺れるあの子

鮮血ただ空ろな手で 掴む夕景

tettou kara miteru atashi
sen’ketsu tada utsuro na te de tsukamu yuukei
Look at her swaying on the steel bridge
From the transmission tower I’m watching
Clutching at fresh blood with empty hands grasping the sunset
鉄橋ほら見てるあの子
鉄塔から落ちるあたし
現実ほら虚ろな目で 風が頬殴る
tekkyou hora miteru ano ko
tettou kara ochiru atashi
gen’jitsu hora utsuro na me de kaze ga hoho naguru
Look at her watching from the steel bridge
From the steel tower I fall
Look at reality with your empty eyes as the wind beats against your face!
鉄骨打つ体の奥 脈打ってる 楽しそうに
心臓だけ拾い上げて 夕日に翳してる
tekkotsu utsu karada no oku myaku utteru tanoshisou ni

Taking only my heart and lifting it against the setting sun

Unable to understand one another, we run in circles, going nowhere
No matter how close we become, there are still so many things
We’re unable to face together
Over my own pride I keep (stumbling)
Wringing my heart out (save me!)
I just want to throw everything away
I can’t stand it anymore!

This song goes places: from spas, to Cirno math, to Christmas Eve fashion shows, to hacking Touhou games.
I tried to fill in most of the background voices but I didn’t get them all.
Parts that are basically guesses are marked with asterisks.
(marker*): guess a / guess b : tl of a / tl of b
(a*): I’ll have vanilla sundae
(b*): namaste~ / irassaimase : namaste / welcome
(c*): ikagen ni shinasai / ?? ikasenasai : oh, come on! / use your ??
(d*): atashi to den’pa kike! / atashi no denwa kike! : Listen to me and my (brain) waves / Listen to my phone (call)!
(e*): kuwasechau zo / kuruwasechau zo! : I’ll feed it to you! / I’ll make you go crazy!
(f*): icy soft / I see ???
(g*): ?? hai yo : uh-huh
wahoo’s are pronounced wa-huu or hu-huu/fu-huu
The (chiru chiru) part could just be a meaningless chant, or you can connect it to Cirno’s name, or “scatter scatter” like flower petals/snowflakes. I left it as is in the translation.
ma chère = my cherished x (adjective form)
mon chéri = my cherished. i.e. “my honey” (noun form)

Hey, so you know about yesterday’s fake news?
Where does the fabrication begin and where does it end?!
It’s not like I’m trying to—
But you can’t help but ask — really? really really?
As long as they don’t notice I’m shooting the bullet
Lock on!
I want some of that world I see in the finder — want it want it want it right now!

The truth of the matter is fake
What we all want is stimulation!

Both true and false are Real or Fake!!
Flower petals dissipate beautifully and fresh grass grows
As a pleasant fragrance rides upon the wind, floating ever on
遠くで聞こえてる 静かな夜の中
風鈴の音 ああ懐かしい さまよう
tooku de kikoeteru shizuka na yoru no naka
fuurin’ no oto aa natsukashii samayou
In the distance, through the quiet of night I hear
Familiar notes of wind chimes as I wander
止まることなく 自由な世界へ
行く手阻むこころ
毎朝のぼる太陽 夢かさねて
tomaru koto naku jiyuu na sekai e
yukute habamu kokoro
maiasa noboru taiyou yume kasanete
As I venture steadfast toward a world of freedom
Though my heart gets in the way
Every morning I reaffirm my dreams upon the rising sun
かならず訪れる まだ見ぬ栄光
僕らの人生の物語は いま始まる
kanarazu otozureru mada minu eikou
bokura no jin’sei no monogatari wa ima hajimaru
One day our glory will come
The story of our lives begins now
空たかく流れる きえゆく綿の雲
両手をあげ ああ背伸びした 落葉
sora takaku nagareru kieyuku wata no kumo
ryou te wo age aa senobishita rakuyou
Wispy clouds vanish as they ascend into the heavens
With both my hands I reach out and grasp at falling leaves
明かり灯る窓
笑いあう人に 会いたいと思う
そう叶うはずさ
奇跡の出会いに 愛叫んだ
akari tomoru mado
waraiau hito ni aitai to omou
sou kanau hazu sa
kiseki no deai ni ai saken’da
When I see lit windows at night
I think longingly of the people I would laugh together with
But knowing my dream will one day come true
I proclaim my love to the miracle of our first meeting
