なぜ巡り会うのかを
naze meguriau no ka wo
私たちは何も知らない
watashitachi wa nani mo shiranai
いつ巡り会いのかを
itsu meguriai no ka wo
私たちはいつも知らない
watashitachi wa itsumo shiranai
どこにいたの 生きてきたの
doko ni ita no ikite kita no
遠い空の下 ふたつの物語
tooi sora no shita futatsu no monogatari
縦の糸はあなた 横の糸は私
tate no ito wa anata yoko no ito wa watashi
織り成すぬのはいつか誰かを
orinasununo wa itsuka dareka wo
温めるかもしれない
atatameuru kamo shirenai
なぜ生きてゆくのかを
naze ikite yuku no ka wo
迷った日の後の笹くれ
mayotta hi no ato no sasakure
夢追いかけ走って
yume oikake hashitte
転んだ日の後の笹くれ
koronda hi no ato no sasakure
こんな糸が何になるの
konna ito ga nanni naru no
心持たなくて 震えてた風の中
kokoro motonakute furueteta kaze no naka
縦の糸はあなた 横の糸は私
tate no ito wa anata yoko no ito wa watashi
織り成すぬのはいつか誰かの
orinasununo wa itsuka dareka no
傷をかばうかもしれない
kizu wo kabau kamo shirenai
縦の糸はあなた 横の糸は私
tate no ito wa anata yoko no ito wa watashi
逢うべき糸に出会えることを
aubeki ito ni deaeru koto wo
人は幸せと呼びます
hito wa shiawase to yobimasu
This Thread
Why do we meet like this?
We don’t know a thing.
When do we meet again?
We never really know.
Where have you been, how have you lived?
Under this distant sky, two stories unfold.
The vertical thread is you, the horizontal thread is me.
What we weave might someday warm someone.
Why do we keep on living?
After the days of confusion, the rustling leaves.
Chasing dreams, running fast,
After the days of falling, the rustling leaves.
What can this thread become?
With no heart to hold, trembling in the wind.
The vertical thread is you, the horizontal thread is me.
What we weave might someday shield someone’s pain.
The vertical thread is you, the horizontal thread is me.
Meeting the threads we’re meant to find,
Is what people call happiness.
