Aaah... aah... aaah... aah...
Don't tire, don't give up
Don't give up
Hey, stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up
Stand on your own feet... stand up
Hey, push it, push it, push it, push it
Push fate away with your own hands... push it away
Don't give up
So many people came into this world
So many people left this world
Only those who achieved something
Stood tall here as statues!
We brought nothing into this world
We take nothing when we leave
Let's face the challenge head-on
Let's conquer life!
Kill it, kill it, kill it!
Kill your fear!
Win, win, win!
Win over your fate!
Run, run, run!
Run even without legs!
Sing, sing, sing!
The world will sing your praise!
Hey, stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up
Stand on your own feet... stand up
Hey, push it, push it, push it, push it
Push fate away with your hands... push it away
Don't tire, don't give up
Troubles and losses
Will come and go
Sorrow will come to strike, you see
Whatever comes, stand brave and strong
And it will run away in fear, you see!
If only joy
Was all life had,
Life would become boring, you see!
Passing through sorrow,
When that joy arrives,
Life becomes wonderful, you see!
Hey, push the pain aside
Keep your dream in your heart
People should look at you and learn
Those who are asleep must wake up!
Run, run, run!
Time flies by so fast!
It adds up, adds up, adds up!
Your age will quickly add up!
Search, search, search!
Search for the path to your dream!
Raise it, raise it, raise it!
Raise your flag high in the world!
Even with arms and legs
Working perfectly fine,
Look at those sleepy faces... look!
Forgetting his disability and leaping with joy,
Look at this boy... look!
Even with a brain
As sharp as a computer,
Look at that man cursing God... look!
Even without legs to stand on,
Look at how beautifully he dances... look!
Fill yourself with confidence!
Let it flow in your blood!
Work hard with honesty,
And change this world!
Come on, come on, come on!
Let's go!
The future belongs to us!
Hey hey hey hey
Searching, searching, searching!
This world will come searching for you!
A lesson, a lesson, a lesson!
Your life is a lesson!
Gathering, gathering, gathering!
A crowd will gather for you too!
Hey, stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up
Stand on your own feet... stand up
Hey, push it, push it, push it, push it
Push fate away with your hands... push it away
Don't tire, don't give up
Don't give up

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song is a high-energy motivational anthem centered on resilience, self-reliance, and triumphing over adversity. It urges the listener to stop making excuses, overcome fear, and refuse to give in to fate. Through vivid lyrics, it contrasts physically able individuals who lack motivation with differently-abled individuals who embrace life with joy, dance, and spirit.
