🌫️ Soft Rain - English lyrics for “빗속의 여인”

 📝 Intro

“빗속의 여인 (Lady in the Rain)” is a beloved Korean classic
woven from the ache of a moment too brief to hold —
a fleeting encounter in the rain,
where a single glance becomes a memory that refuses to fade.
Soft Rain is not a translation —
it is a new lyrical interpretation shaped to carry
the same wistful longing, the same quiet ache,
and the same lingering silhouette of someone
who appeared in the rain like a soft whisper
and disappeared just as gently.
Each line follows the rhythm of falling rain,
as if tracing the outline of a memory
that glows for an instant and then slips away
into the dim light of a passing night.

A joyful scene of a woman in a bright yellow raincoat and rain boots, lifting a transparent umbrella as she jumps in a green field surrounded by trees on a rainy day. Wildflowers cover the grass, and the forest backdrop creates a soft, natural atmosphere.

🌫️ Soft Rain

English lyrics for Shin Joong-hyun’s “빗속의 여인”

Soft was the rain
Calling her name

Lost in the night
Fading from sight

Brief as a spark
Glowing in the dark

Gone in a breath
Quiet as death

Light in rain
Fading again

Here a blink
Gone so fast

Drops in the dark
Lost in a blink

Silent and slow
Nowhere to go

Still in the rain
Whispers remain

Echoing far
Like a faint star

Light in rain
Fading again

Here a blink
Gone so fast

Drops in the dark
Lost in a blink

Silent and slow
Nowhere to go

Still, through the rain
Calling her name

Fading away
Night after day

Oh, through the rain
Calling her name

Drifting away
Like a faint star

Night after day
Night after day

🎶 About the Original Song

Originally performed by Shin Joong-hyun,
“빗속의 여인” has long stood as one of Korea’s
most iconic emotional ballads —
a song that captures the tenderness of a single encounter
and the loneliness that follows when that moment
is all that remains.

Its melody feels like a quiet street in the rain,
and its lyrics shine like the faint reflection
of someone who once stood close
but slipped away before a word could be spoken.

This English reinterpretation preserves that delicate essence:
a glimpse of a woman in the rain,
a memory too soft to grasp,
and the lingering ache of a heart that
still listens for her footsteps in the falling rain.
