へそHesoのno緒O

キスkisuをwoしたshitaそのsono時toki　不意fuiにni思いましたomoimashita

Right when we kissed, it suddenly hit me —

そもそもsomosomo人hitoはwaなぜnaze　常tsuneにni愛aiをwo求めてるんだmotometeru ndaとto

Why is it that people are always searching for love?

人hitoをwo遡ればsakanobore ba　プログラムpuroguramu通りdooriにni

Trace humanity back far enough and you get

うねってunette突き進むtsukisusumu　ただtadaのno無機質mukishitsu　ミトコンドリアmitokondoria

Just mindless, inorganic mitochondria, twisting and pushing forward

そのsono時toki愛aiとかtokaそれsore以前izenにni　感情kanjouさえsaeもmoまだmadaなかったnakattaだろうdarou??

Back then, before love — there weren't even emotions yet, right?

それならsore nara俺oreはwaいつitsu学んだmanandaのno??　喜怒哀楽kidoairakuやya愛aiをwo

So when did I learn them — joy, anger, sorrow, and love?

きっとkitto産まれるumareru前maeにni　繋がったtsunagattaへその緒heso no oからkara

It must have been before I was born, through the umbilical cord

酸素sansoとto混ざり合ったmazariatta　出し惜しみないdashioshimi nai母hahaのno愛情aijouがga届いてtodoite

My mother's unfailing love, mixed in with oxygen, came flowing through

全身zenshin巡り巡ってmeguri megutte　心kokoroがgaできあがってdekiagatte

Circling through my whole body, a heart took shape

そしてsoshiteそのsono瞬間shunkanにni　今imaのno俺oreってtteやつyatsuがga産声ubugoeあげたagetaのnoだろうdarou

And it was in that very moment that the person I am now let out his first cry

だけどdakedo今imaのno俺oreにni　へその緒heso no oはwaないnaiからkara

But I don't have an umbilical cord anymore —

愛aiをwo探さないとsagasanai to　栄養不足eiyou busoku、、退化するんだtaika surunda

If I don't go looking for love, I'll starve for it and wither away

そもそもsomosomoそれsoreはwa　神様kamisamaってtteやつyatsuがga用意したyoui shita仕掛けshikakeかもしれないkamo shirenai

Maybe that's the setup that some thing called "God" put in place

誰もがdaremo ga愛aiをwo探すsagasuようにyou ni　俺oreとtoお前omaeがga出会うdeauようにyou ni

So that everyone would search for love — so that you and I would meet

見事migoto成功seikouでしたdeshita　神様kamisamaにniしてみればshite mireba

A flawless success, as far as God is concerned

まさにmasa ni思惑通りomowaku doori　めでたくmedetakuお前omaeというto iu愛aiをwo見つけましたmitsukemashita

Exactly according to plan — I found, happily enough, the love that is you

ようなyou naそんなsonnaストーリーsutoorii????　神様kamisamaありがとうarigatou。.かka??

A story like that?? Thanks, God? Or what?

なんかnankaそれsoreもmo違うなchigau na　仕掛shikakeじゃないja nai“何か”nanikaあるaru気がしてるんだよki ga shiterunda yo

Nah, that doesn't quite feel right either — I feel like there's some "something" that isn't a setup

ずっとzutto頭atamaのno中nakaでde　連想ゲームrensou geemuしてshiteみたmitaけどkedo

I've been playing a free-association game in my head all this time

結局kekkyokuそのsono“何か”nanikaってtte　きっとkitto生きてるikiteru限りkagiri解らないwakaranaiことkotoだdaよyo

But in the end, that "something" is probably something I'll never figure out as long as I'm alive

でもdemo、、へその緒heso no oよりyoriもmo　運命unmeiよりyoriもmo確かにtashika ni

But — more surely than the umbilical cord, more surely than fate

俺oreとtoお前omaeのnoことkotoをwo　繋がりたいtsunagaritaiというto iu気持ちkimochiがga繋げるtsunageruからkara

It's the desire to be connected to you that connects us
