Lyrics and translation Chris Hart - Ito

Ito

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 each other,
We know nothing about it.
When will we meet,
We never know.
Where have you been, how have you lived,
Under the distant sky, two stories.
The vertical thread is you, the horizontal thread is me,
The woven cloth may one day,
Warm someone.
Why do we live,
The aftermath of a day of confusion.
Chasing dreams
The aftermath of a day of falling.
What can such a thread be,
In my insecure heart, I tremble in the wind.
The vertical thread is you, the horizontal thread is me,
The woven cloth may one day,
Heal someone's wounds.
The vertical thread is you, the horizontal thread is me,
To meet a thread that we should meet,
People call it happiness.
