I remember your face from that forgotten day
You came to me, drenched in a sudden shower

The stories we shared under the umbrella
I thought we got closer to each other

Above you, I only see the clear sky
Today’s weather is clear, a brief shower
Should I bring an umbrella or not?
On such days, there’s always someone you think of
Oh oh? That person over there, whoa!
I believe I’ll meet you again

Actually, your face is fading from that day
You came to me, looking around in a sudden shower
Shyly said, shall we share it?
The stories we shared under the umbrella
I thought we got closer to each other

Above you, I only see the clear sky
Somewhere in my memory, keep it for sure, you won’t know
Are you listening to my waiting heart?
The stories we shared under the umbrella
I thought we got closer to each other
geu-dae wi-ro hwa-chang-hae-jin ha-neul-man bo-yeo
Above you, I only see the clear sky
The lyrics beautifully evoke a nostalgic and bittersweet memory of a fleeting romantic encounter sparked by a sudden rain shower. Whenever a red umbrella catches the narrator’s eye, they recall a sweet stranger who once offered to share their umbrella, bringing two separate paths briefly together. However, just like the passing shower, that brief intimacy evaporated as soon as the weather cleared, leaving behind only an open, clear sky. Now caught between hazy memories and a lingering hope, the speaker finds themselves waiting for another downpour to potentially revive the connection and repeat a fated rainy encounter.
