Lyrics
いつまでたっても変わらない 愚かさ
山越え谷を越えて
いつまでたっても変わらない哀しみ
河越え又生まれて
itsu made tattemo kawaranai orokasa
yamagoe tani wo koete
itsu made tattemo kawaranai kanashimi
kawagoe mata umarete
よりどりみどりで御座います 人生
簡単な選択終えて
また始まってかーらーの また始まり
また始まってかーらーの はじまー
yoridorimidori de gozaimasu jinsei
kantan na sentaku oete
mata hajimatte kaaraa no mata hajimari
mata hajimatte kaaraa no hajimaa
燃やして 煮詰めて それでもまだカチカチで
冷やして 潰して 今度はもうグチャグチャで
moyashite nitsumete sore demo mada kachikachi de
hiyashite tsubushite kondo wa mou guchagucha de
巡り巡る魂よ 雲となり空を漂えど
絡みつく因果の鎖が
かたくなに運命締め付ける
もがいて もがいて もう一回
meguri meguru tamashii yo kumo to nari sora wo tadayoedo
karamitsuku inga no kusari ga
katakuna ni sadame shimetsukeru
mogaite mogaite mou ikkai
つける ふれる きえる とめる
そめる こめる ためる やめる
せめる てれる つける いれる
きれる あける かえる
tsukeru fureru kieru tomeru
someru komeru tameru yameru
semeru tereru tsukeru ireru
kireru akeru kaeru
掴んで離して それでもまだフラフラで
守って壊して 最後はもうメチャクチャで
tsukande hanashite sore demo mada furafura de
mamotte kowashite saigo wa mou mechakucha de
巡り巡る魂よ雲となり空を漂って
絡みつく因果の鎖が 己では切れぬものと知る
いのって いのって もう一回
meguri meguru tamashii yo kumo to nari sora wo tadayotte
karamitsuku inga no kusari ga onore de wa kirenu mono to shiru
inotte inotte mou ikkai
巡り巡る魂よ 雲となり空を漂えど
絡みつく因果の鎖が
かたくなに運命締め付ける
もがいて もがいて いのって いのって
もう一回
meguri meguru tamashii yo kumo to nari sora wo tadayoedo
karamitsuku inga no kusari ga
katakuna ni sadame shimetsukeru
mogaite mogaite inotte inotte
mou ikkai
Translation
Foolishness that will never change
It crosses mountains and valleys
Sorrow that will never change
It crosses rivers, and it’s born again
There are so many things to choose in life
After a simple choice
After it started again, it starts again
After it started again, it starts
I burn it, I boil it down, but it’s still ticking
I cool it down, I crush it, and now it’s all sloppy
Go round and round, souls! Become clouds, drifting in the sky
The chains of causality that entangle me
Are stubbornly tightening my fate
Struggle, struggle, one more time
Put, touch, disappear, stop
Dye, include, amass, quit
Attack, shine, put, insert
Cut, open, return
I catch it, I release it, but I’m still dizzy
I protect it, I destroy it, in the end it’s all a mess
Go round and round, souls! Become clouds, drifting in the sky
The chains of causality that entangle me, I know they are something I can’t break
Pray, pray, one more time
Go round and round, souls! Become clouds, drifting in the sky
The chains of causality that entangle me
Are stubbornly tightening my fate
Struggle, struggle, pray, pray
One more time
