🌟 Four Types of たら in This Song:
1. Hypothetical "If" (もし...たら)
Imagining situations that aren't currently true:
もし君がいたら、笑えるのに (if you were here, I could smile - but you're not)
もしゆうきがあったら (if I had courage - but I don't)
もし過去にもどれたら (if I could go back to the past - impossible)
もしみらいが見えたら (if I could see the future - impossible)

2. Temporal "When"
Discovery or sequence of events:
外を見たら雨が降っている (when I look outside, it's raining)
朝が来たら、目が覚める (when morning comes, I wake up)
君の写真を見たら、笑顔になる (when I see your photo, I smile)
雨が止んだら、にじが出る (when the rain stops, a rainbow appears)

3. Future Plans/Suggestions
Making plans for the future:
映画を見たら、楽しいかな (it might be fun to watch a movie)
天気が良かったら、散歩しよう (if the weather is nice, let's go for a walk)
雨が降ったら、かさをさそう (if it rains, let's put up an umbrella)

4. Completed Action + Result
After X happens, then Y:
電話をかけたら、出るかな (if I call, will you answer?)
手をつないだら、幸せになれる (if we held hands, I would be happy)
愛を伝えたら、君はどうする? (if I tell you my love, what will you do?)

💡 Why たら is the Most Useful Conditional:
たら is your go-to conditional because it works for:
✅ Hypothetical situations (real or impossible)
✅ Future plans and suggestions
✅ Natural sequences of events
✅ Discovery/realization ("when I did X, I noticed Y")
✅ Questions about possibilities
✅ Past regrets with もし

When in doubt, use たら! It's the most versatile and natural-sounding conditional form.
