Love, oh love,
It gathers like water in our name,
Breath, oh breath,
The path that blooms is still far away.
Make your heart as strong as iron,
Turn the sky into your blessing,
Tomorrow, the whole town will speak of your story.
Do not hesitate to shed your sweat,
Never forget your gratitude,
Standing together as one is true happiness.
Even the very first human
Must have known bonds and affection.
Across millions of generations,
This spirit will continue to live on.
All the caring hands that protect,
Our love will protect them too.
The dreams locked deep within
Will soon come into our hands.
Love, oh love,
It gathers like water in our name,
Make your heart as strong as iron,
Male: Make it strong as iron,

Chorus: Standing together as one is true happiness,
Male: That is true happiness.
Make your heart as strong as iron,
Turn the sky into your blessing,
Tomorrow, the whole town will speak of your story.
