Itsuka futari ga
Ai wo nakushite
Hanare banare ni
Naru to shitara
Kanashii koto da kedo
Sore wa kami no miwaza
Do ni mo naranai koto
Sore wa kami no miwaza

Soshite bokura wa
Ai shiaezu ni
Hanare banare ni
Natte shimau

Kanashii koto da kedo
Sore wa kami no miwaza
Do ni mo naranai koto
Sore wa kami no miwaza

Kanashii koto da kedo
Sore wa kami no miwaza
Do ni mo naranai koto
Sore wa kami no miwaza


----------------------------
If someday we
Fall out of love
And
Break up
It's sad but
That's the work of god
Nothing you can do about it
It's the work of god

And the two of us
Won't love each other
We'll grow
Distant

It's sad but
That's the way things happen
There's no way out of it
It's the work of god

It's sad but
That's destiny




Nothing you can do
See'est la vie

Overall Meaning

The song "The Work of God" by Pizzicato Five is a reflection on the inevitable end of a romantic relationship. The lyrics express the sadness felt by two individuals who have lost the love they once shared and have grown apart. The lines "If someday we fall out of love and break up, it's sad but that's the work of god. Nothing you can do about it, it's the work of god" suggest that the end of their relationship is beyond their control and is part of a larger plan.


The chorus repeats the phrase, "It's sad but that's the work of god," emphasizing the acceptance of fate and destiny. The song's interpretation of love is a stark contrast to the common romanticized portrayal of it. It portrays the impermanence and fragility of relationships, and how acceptance and letting go can be just as important as holding on.


Overall, "The Work of God" can be seen as a reflection on the universal human experience of loss and acceptance. It shows that sometimes the most we can do is accept fate and move on, even if it's painful to do so.

Holy $#it what a masterpiece. It might even be my favourite P5 album (so hard to choose)! Wow sounds even better than 1996. Konishi sensei is a genius. Timeless. No. It sounds like the future as well as disarmingly nostalgic. All Feelz.
