Yei savaalae samaali
Vaadaa dei pangaali
Namma jeikkaravan yaarudaa
Inimae namakkuthaan perudaa
Savaalae samaali

Hey, face the challenge!
Come on, my partner!
Who is there to defeat us?
From now on, the glory is ours!
Face the challenge!
Come on, my partner!
Why should we have any fear?
Throw it away and set it on fire!
In every direction, the sunrise is ours!
If we stand up and march, the destination is ours!
Crash through and shatter every barrier!
Victory is definitely ours!
We will smash through even mountains!
We will strike down even thunderbolts!
We will knock open even the skies!
We are the ones who will win!
Even if we take shortcuts,
there is nothing wrong with it!
The journey you take,
your finish line should be right where it ends!
Plan out your future,
and chase it down relentlessly!
As you keep running forward,
if obstacles stand in your way, intimidate them bravely!
Hey, face the challenge!
Come on, my partner!
Who is there to defeat us?
From now on, the glory is ours!
Face the challenge!
Come on, my partner!
Why should we have any fear?
Throw it away and set it on fire!
Oho-oh... ooh-oho-oh... oho-oho
Oho-oho... ooh... oh-oh
Oho-oh... ooh-oho-oh... oho-oho
Oho-oho... ooh... oh-oh
Throw away everything from the past,
none of it is needed anymore!
To live by consulting an almanac,
we are not cowards!
Needing bundles and bundles of cash,
that alone is our only limit!
Such things as rules and limits
have never existed for us!
By always worrying about what is fair and right,
no real good comes our way!
Even if we live recklessly,
all we want is victory!
The sky is not a burden to us,
the earth is not too far away!
We will carry our own weight,
be brave and come along!
Even if we take shortcuts,
there is nothing wrong with it!
The journey you take,
your finish line should be right where it ends!
Plan out your future,
and chase it down relentlessly!
As you keep running forward,
if obstacles stand in your way, intimidate them bravely!
Hey, face the challenge!
Come on, my partner!
Who is there to defeat us?
From now on, the glory is ours!
Face the challenge!
Come on, my partner!
Why should we have any fear?
Throw it away and set it on fire!
Whom are we to ask for justice?
No one in this world is a saint!
Once you dare to go on a hunt,
killing is no longer a sin!
Hardships will come and go,
nothing lasts forever!
Once you achieve great feats,
there is no need for lectures!
We don't care about what people say,
we don't care about relatives!
Let's run as far as we can run,
don't worry, just come along!
Tomorrow is not promised to us here,
and we won't be born a second time!
Let's live this moment to the fullest,
stand up and join me!
Even if we take shortcuts,
there is nothing wrong with it!
The journey you take,
your finish line should be right where it ends!
Plan out your future,
and chase it down relentlessly!
As you keep running forward,
if obstacles stand in your way, intimidate them bravely!
