TV Version[]
Ashidori mo karukushite CHAO CHAO
Torumono mo toriaezu CHAO CHAO
Raion ga unaru mitai no raimei ga
Taisan wo unagashite iru
Dou naru no?
Sou...mou sugu ame
Dai kirai ame nanka CHAO CHAO
Mou sukoshi itai noni CHAO CHAO
Kaikan ga kaisan ni kawaru shunkan wo
Raion ga isogaseta no wa
Meihaku No! Meiwaku
It's gonna rain!
Ame wa mou aribai wo kesu no?
Kare wa mou wasurete shimau no?
Futari wa mou korekiri ni naru no?
Subete wa ame no seitte koto ni shite okou
It's gonna rain!
It's gonna rain!
Footsteps are lightly taken, chao chao
But hurrying anyway, chao chao
The thunder like a lion's roar
Prompts a dispersion
What's going on?
That's right...the rain's coming
I really hate the rain, chao chao
I wanted to stay here a little longer, chao chao
In the instant when the pleasant sensation was changed
When the lion made me hurry
It was obvious, No! Annoying
It's gonna rain!
Has the rain erased his alibi?
Did he already forget?
Is this all the two of us will become?
Let's make all of this the rain's fault
It's gonna rain!
It's gonna rain!

Ame ni yoru kyoukun mo NOTHING NOTHING
Kanjou mo igirisu no tenki mitai ni
Utsurigi dattara totemo
Raku nanoni... gyaku na no
It's gonna rain!
Ame ga netsu wo yomigaeraseta
Kare mo futo watashi wo omoidashita
Futari wa ima koko ni michibikareta
Subete wa ame no sei, uun, okage na no
Ame wa hito wo yondari keshitari
Dare yori mo tegowai majishan ne
Futari wa itsumo damasarete bakari
Subete wa ame de hajimarun deshou

It was obvious, No! Annoying
It's gonna rain!
Has the rain erased his alibi?
Did he already forget?
Is this all the two of us will become?
Let's make all of this the rain's fault
As for calls from him, Nothing Nothing
And lessons from the rain too, Nothing Nothing
If my mind would change
Like the weather in England
That would be a relief... but it's the opposite
It's gonna rain!
The rain has made my fever return
But he also suddenly remembered me
The two of us were guided to here now
It's all the rain's fault, no, thanks to it
The rain calls people and makes them disappear
A magician stronger than anyone
The two of us had merely been fooling each other
And didn't everything start in the rain
It's gonna rain!
It's gonna rain!
It's gonna rain!

Trivia[]
- In Episode 66 of the 1996 anime there was a special version of this ending that did not use the normal ending sequence animation, but had extra scenes from the episode being played during the ending song.
- As with most of the rest of the songs by Bonnie Pink, this song was produced by swedish record producer, composer and musician Tore Johansson (famous for his work with bands like "The Cardigans", "a-ha" and "Franz Ferdinand").
