Naze meguriau no ka o
Watashitachi wa nani mo shiranai
Itsu meguriai no ka o
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
Orinasununo wa itsuka dareka o
Atatameuru kamo shirenai.

Naze ikite yuku no ka o
Mayotta hi no ato no sasakure
Yume oikake hashitte
Koronda hi no ato no sasakure.

Kon'na ito ga nan ni naru no
Kokoro motosanakute furueteta kaze no naka.

Tate no ito wa anata yoko no ito wa watashi
Orinasununo 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.

[Translation]

We have no idea
Why we meet each other
We never know
When we'll meet each other.

Where were you
Where have you lived your life?
Two stories playing
Out under distant skies.

You're the vertical thread
I'm the horizontal thread
Maybe the cloth we weave
Can warm someone up someday.

The day I was uncertain about
My reason to live left some fraying
The day I fell down chasing my
Dream left some fraying.

I've trembled in the wind, anxious about
What a thread like me could become.

You're the vertical thread
I'm the horizontal thread
The weaving dress will some day be someone's
It may protect a wound.

When we get to meet the threads
We need to in life, we call that happiness.

We call that happiness.
