order made
I am totally in love with the song. Of course the lyrics are priceless.
Made me think of things I never thought of before. Basically for those
who has never heard of this song, it’s a song/conversation with God.
I love this song because first of all, in the song, it’s the person who
says he wants only good things for him whilst God wants to give
everything..(..itulah manusia^^;;..). That was an ironic touch because we know that only God
knows what’s best for you but you wish for everything anyway.
Also, after listening to this song, I think it’s a romantic idea that
you and God did have a conversation before you were born. I think we
did and I really wish I could remember the conversation. It’s just that
we know so well that God works in grand scales so suddenly remembering
that he ‘order made’ each one of us personally is quite humbling. What
did we talk about? Did I promise anything? Had I kept it? Did I make
Him proud? You know, those kind of things.
This song made me
sad, made me happy, made me realize that i am a weak person!
Order Made
English translation by NJT of MangaHelpers
I think I must have been asked this once.
Before I was born, by someone, somewhere.
"Choose one: the past, or the future,
And I will allow you to see it.
Which will it be?
Which will it be?"
And I probably decided on the past.
So that, rather than just strong, I could become kind, become kind.
So that I could understand what memories are.
Next, that ’somebody’ told me this.
"I’ll give you arms and legs and mouths and ears and eyes,
Hearts and breasts and nostrils.
I’ll give you two of each one.
Isn’t that great?
Isn’t that great?"
But then I made a request.
I said, I’d be fine with just one mouth.
So I wouldn’t argue with myself;
So I could only kiss one person.
I want to forget.
But somehow, I can’t.
What do you call this kind of feeling?
Looking a little disappointed,
The person continued with his explanation.
"The hearts are most important,
So I’ll put one behind each of your breasts.
Isn’t that great?
Isn’t that great?"
But, once more, I had a request to make.
I’m awfully sorry, but to be honest,
I really don’t need a heart on the right.
Sorry to keep troubling you like this.
It’s so that when I find that one special person,
And hold her close to me for the first time,
Only then will I finally be able to feel
Two hearts beating, one on each side.
The left one mine, the right, yours.
The left one yours, the right, mine.
So that alone, I’ll always be lacking something.
So that I won’t be able to just go on living alone.
I want to forget.
But somehow, I can’t.
What do you call this kind of feeling?
My chest is pounding,
Yet somehow it seems familiar.
What do you call this kind of feeling?
"Ah, that reminds me, there’s one last thing.
Would you like us to add in tears as well?
You’d have no problems without them,
But some people find them annoying, so they opt out.
What would you like?
What would you like?"
In the end, I asked him to add them in.
So that, rather than just strong, I could become kind, become kind.
So I could understand what it means to hold something dear.
"Oh, while we’re at it, the tears will need a flavour.
So I’d just like you to choose which one you’d prefer.
We have sour, salty, spicy, sweet.
You can choose whichever you like.
Which will you have?
Which will you have?"
Everything was put together just as requested,
So wipe those tears away and let me see your face.
Come on, show it to me with pride.
Thank you so much for everything.
Sorry to have caused you so much trouble.
But could I just ask one last thing?
"Have we met somewhere before?"
