"どの言語で雨は苦悩する都市に降るのか"
— Pablo Neruda

Simplified Meaning:
Rain falls the same way everywhere, no matter the situation. When a city is going through hard times or suffering, the rain doesn't change because of that. It's like saying that nature stays the same no matter what humans are going through. For example, during a war, people might be scared and sad, but the sun still rises and sets, and the rain still falls. Nature doesn't have a special language or way of acting for troubled times; it stays consistent. This reminds us that while we may face personal struggles or big problems, some parts of life remain unchanged and unaffected. It’s a way of emphasizing that despite human troubles, the natural world continues on its own path.
