So I was translating this song (full lyrics:
<https://www5.atwiki.jp/hmiku/pages/25196.html>) and I came across this
phrase:

まるがなまな

I doesn't seem to be connected to anything around it, and I'm having trouble
making sense of it. The best I got was "Being correct is only natural," then
with the masculine な particle after (though this doesn't fit with the rest of
the song). A friend of mine suggested that perhaps まる was being used as a
placeholder, as in○○, so ○○がな would be referring to katakana and hiragana, and
then まな would just be kanji, so the translation of the line would be something
like, "Kanji and kana." This seems the most accurate to me, but I wasn't sure
and wanted to get another opinion since this line is odd.

Is the kanji and kana translation correct, or is this something else entirely?

Thank you!

question
translation words usage
Translation help with a strange phrase: まるがなまな
Perhaps this is an anagram of なるがままな, where 成る【なる】が儘【まま】 roughly means "as it
is", "let it be", "let it go", etc.
[あるがまま](http://jisho.org/word/%E5%9C%A8%E3%82%8B%E3%81%8C%E5%84%98) is a
similar set phrase. Of course this could be a random phrase which has no
particular meaning (like Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo).
