naze meguriau no ka wo
Watashitachi wa nanimo shiranai
Itsu meguriau no ka wo
Watashitachi wa itsumo shiranai

doko ni ita no ikite kita no
Tooi sora no shita futatsu no monogatari

tate no ito wa anata yoko no ito wa watashi
Orinasu nuno wa itsuka dareka wo
Atatameuru kamo shirenai

naze ikite yuku no ka wo
Mayotta hi no ato no sasakure
Yume oikake hashitte
Koronda hi no ato no sasakure

konna ito ga nan ni naru no
Kokoro motonakute furueteta kaze no naka

tate no ito wa anata yoko no ito wa watashi
Orinasu nuno wa itsuka dareka no
Kizu wo kabau kamo shirenai

tate no ito wa anata yoko no ito wa watashi
Au beki ito ni deaeru koto wo
Hito wa shiawase to yobimasu

なぜ　めぐり逢うのかを
私たちは　なにも知らない
いつ　めぐり逢うのかを
私たちは　いつも知らない

どこにいたの　生きてきたの
遠い空の下　ふたつの物語

縦の糸はあなた　横の糸は私
織りなす布は　いつか誰かを
暖めうるかもしれない

なぜ　生きてゆくのかを
迷った日の跡の　ささくれ
夢追いかけ走って
ころんだ日の跡の　ささくれ

こんな糸が　なんになるの
心許なくて　ふるえてた風の中

縦の糸はあなた　横の糸は私
織りなす布は　いつか誰かの
傷をかばうかもしれない

縦の糸はあなた　横の糸は私
逢うべき糸に　出逢えることを
人は　仕合わせと呼びます

Why do we meet?
We have no idea why.
When will we meet?
We never know.

Where were we? Where have we been?
Two stories beneath a distant sky.

You’re a string running vertical. I’m a string running horizontal.
The cloth that we spin might provide warmth
For someone, someday.

The reasons we go on living,
Frayed remains of days we spent lost.
Running after our dreams,
Frayed remains of days we spent stumbling.

What will these strings become,
Anxious and quivering in the wind?

You’re a string running vertical. I’m a string running horizontal.
The cloth that we spin might cover the wounds
Of someone, someday.

You’re a string running vertical. I’m a string running horizontal.
To meet the string we’re destined to meet…
That’s what’s known as happiness.
