Paroles et traduction May J. - 糸

糸

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 生きていたの
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

Thread

Why we meet,
We know nothing of it.
When we meet,
We always know nothing of it.
Where were you? How did you live?
Under a distant sky, two stories unfold.
The vertical thread is you, the horizontal thread is me.
The woven cloth may someday warm
someone.
Why we live,
The splinters left from the days of confusion.
Chasing dreams, running,
The splinters left from the days I stumbled.
What will become of this thread?
I trembled, unsure, in the wind.
The vertical thread is you, the horizontal thread is me.
The woven cloth may someday shield
someone's wounds.
The vertical thread is you, the horizontal thread is me.
To meet the thread you're meant to meet,
People call that happiness.
