もしも命が描けたら
Moshimo inochi ga egaketara
YOASOBI
Released in December 2021, this song is a theme song for the stage play of the same title.
The lyrics tell you a story about love, destiny, and purpose in life. Reading through the lyrics you can envision the scenery in the woods and his sadness and happiness. The duo releases many hit songs which was inspired by novels and stories. They are one of the most popular singers in Japan nowadays.
In this lyrics, there are two women who he fell in love with. One is called "君, kimi" and the other is called "あなた, anata". Both in English mean "you". It is confusing so I changed the translation of "あなた" to "she (her)". But in Japanese, both are referred as "you", indicating intimate relationship.
