Come on, put up a fight!
Stand at the front and play!
Go touch the victory line!
Go on, fight even harder!
The wide sky
Is right within our grasp!
Victory is almost
Right before our eyes!
Rise up step by step,
And stand tall with pride!
A breathless determination
Is right here with us!
Who says it cannot be done?
What obstacle can stop the wind?
Even if you fall in the game,
There is no shame in it!
Come on, put up a fight!
Stand at the front and play!
Go touch the victory line!
Go on, fight even harder!
Failure will embrace you,
And the whole town will accept you!
Every wound is a medal,
So do not lose heart over anything!
Here, the one who merely
Stands and watches,
Will only speak empty words
And boast endlessly.
But the one who looks
With the eyes of victory,
Will build a fire within himself!
Hey, why feel
All this sadness?
You still have, you really have
That passion inside you!
Look, your thirst will not be quenched,
A crown will surely be yours!
Who says it cannot be done?
What obstacle can stop the wind?
Even if you fall in the game,
There is no shame in it!
Come on, put up a fight!
Stand at the front and play!
Go touch the victory line!
Go on, fight even harder!
What are you still afraid of?
Step forward and challenge on your own!
Is there true joy without defeat?
Can pure victory just arrive on its own?
Rip open your chest,
And deep inside,
Sow a seed within yourself!
Into a mighty tree,
It will surely grow,
And this world will be in your hands!
What is left now
For the heart to yearn for?
Even if you fall, what
Shame is there?
To the shelter of victory,
It is not very far!
From now on, the sky is at your feet!
Who says it cannot be done?
What obstacle can stop the wind?
Even if you fall in the game,
There is no shame in it!
Yeah...
Come on, put up a fight!
Stand at the front and play!
Go touch the victory line!
Go on, fight even harder!
