skipping through it and jumping in puddles. This is not the sound of rain, but the sound of playing in the ran. It should be pichi pichi chapu chapu ran ran ran. If anyone could help I would be forever grateful. I love the rain because it is so calming. I would love to find this poem and have it framed for the nursery. My cousin is so elated and said to me about the words that the first time she saw her baby’s picture it was raining and the words Rainy were on the picture. I am searching for the words to this poem or song. There are also the middle of what I believe is a sentence that reads ….the voice -indrops is mu – I am guessing that the part behind this beautiful baby is the voice of the raindrops is mu…. Behind her on the wall is the words Rainy D….and you can’t see the rest of the title. They sent her picture and she is seated in a wicker chair. We just received the good news that my cousin, who has tried so hard to have a baby, will now adopt a little girl from China.

Finally the boy’s mother arrives to collect him, and the sound of the rain becomes joyous. There are other children waiting but he feels all alone. A young boy is stuck at school waiting to be picked-up. The song is subtle and somewhat melancholy at the begining where the tone is set by the onomatopoeia of the lonely rain drops falling (Pichi pichi Chapu chapu). The melody follows a pattern dictated by a very regular and pronounced 1-2, 1-2, 1-2-3 cadence:
#Pichi caca meaning full
Here is the full verse of the song in romaji (roman characters) with divisions to better indicate the rythm.
