With empty bravado,
A gang that came together in vain,
Let's quickly play, man,
A game of hide-and-seek!
Arriving in a totally fresh style,
A gang of wild and spirited boys,
Hey, this isn't a group brought together by searching,
It's a gang that gathered on its own!
Hey, let it fly!
Let it fly, let it fly!
Let the hidden money fly out into the open!
Let them forget, forget, forget!
Let everyone forget their worries and laugh!
Let them be rattled, confused, and driven away!
Let all the enemies wail in despair!
Let it happen, let it happen, let it happen!
Let everything we wished for come true!
Let our stories change,
Let our dreams unite!
The one who has failed so many times,
Let him truly live at least once!
Let the dawns stretch longer,
Let the dark nights close down,
The one who thrives only in the dark,
Let him run away and disappear!
We weren't gathered by searching,
Doov doov doov doov doov doov,
A gang that gathered on its own!
Doov doov doov doov doov doov,
Doov doov doov doov doov doov!
"It's impossible, it will never happen,"
We should never think like that!
Child: We must never think like that!
Chorus: "This isn't possible, you will never get it,"
No one should ever say that!
"I don't know, I don't understand,"
We shouldn't blame anything with such excuses!
Even if we lose, even if we fall weary,
We must never give up halfway!
What is right is never wrong,
There is nothing equal to courage!
Without the spirit to let go, no one is truly alive,
No one here is alone!
Let our stories change,
Let our dreams unite!
The one who has failed so many times,
Let him truly live at least once!
Let the dawns stretch longer,
Let the dark nights close down,
The one who thrives only in the dark,
Let him run away and disappear!
With empty bravado,
A gang that came together in vain,
Let's quickly play, man,
A game of hide-and-seek... ow!
Arriving in a totally fresh style,
A gang of wild and spirited boys,
This isn't a group brought together by searching,
Child: A gang that gathered on its own!
Hey, let it fly!
Let it fly, let it fly!
Let the hidden money fly out into the open!
Let them forget, forget, forget!
Let everyone forget their worries and laugh!
Let them be rattled, confused, and driven away!
Let all the enemies wail in despair!
Let it happen, let it happen, let it happen!
Let everything we wished for come true!
