Sukiyaki Lyrics

I am pretty sure the above translated lyrics are wrong. The Japanese lyrics tells the story of a heartbroken person who walks the streets at night in a rainstorm. They look up into the rain so that their tears can be mistaken for the rain running down their face. (In Japanese culture showing emotions publicly has a stigma attached and it is the origin of the term 'losing face'). They tell the good times that are now gone and how they feel being in this sad state.

@john130682 There's no mention of rain or storms in the original lyrics.
