கேட்கட்டும் யுத்தம் தொடங்கு
முன் அவர்கள் உந்தன் சத்த
வெள்ளத்தில் தோற்கட்டும்
Even if you lack warfare strength
Shout out loud and roar... let them hear it
Before the war even begins, let them
Be defeated in the flood of your noise
தீயை தடுக்க
திரைகள் எங்கு கிடைக்கும்
சேர்ந்த கைகள் பாரம்
எதையும் சுமக்கும்

Where can you find curtains to block fire?
United hands can carry any heavy weight
