Hey, an explosive, wild dance is now
About to begin, just watch out!
Hey, a time that will shake you and stir panic
Is on its way, listen closely!
Hey, if a flock of sheep bands together,
Even a wild tiger will run away!
If a herd of cattle unites as one,
Even a giant mountain elephant will be defeated!
(Humming...)
This is a crowd that turns even thunder into stepping stones
And climbs right over it!
If anyone comes picking a fight,
They will show them who they truly are!
Smash through the hurdles and all obstacles,
Beat the rhythm and raise the energy!
Like a razor-sharp fish hook,
It will surround and strike with force!
Hey, calm and completely unstoppable,
This is the time to build up speed!
Don't turn back without finishing the job,
It's a fierce bull ready to charge and knock you down!
Hey, if you put things off for tomorrow,
You won't have a tomorrow left!
If you finish it this very second,
The garland of victory will come searching for you!
(Humming...)
Hey, an explosive, wild dance is now
About to begin, just watch out!
Hey, a time that will shake you and stir panic
Is on its way, listen closely!
Hey, if a flock of sheep bands together,
Even a wild tiger will run away!
If a herd of cattle unites as one,
Even a giant mountain elephant will be defeated!
Hey, calm and completely unstoppable,
This is the time to build up speed!
Don't turn back without finishing the job,
It's a fierce bull ready to charge and knock you down!
