Falcon, O woman like a falcon!
Do not hesitate to fly!
Be it a forest of fire or a battlefield,
cross it without any fear!
At the soil that covers the seeds,
do not just look in despair.
Push through, break out, and rise up!
Show no hesitation.
Come, come, come!
Come and win!
Soar high into the sky and go!
Come, come, come, smash through every barrier!
Block the incoming arrows and charge ahead!
...
Woman of fire, O woman of fire!
Come, come forward to fight!
You are the one to fight this battle,
come, come, come and fight!
Stones that never feel the chisel
will never turn into sculptures.
Without being struck and bruised,
a heart will not find its strength.
Come, come, come!
Come and win!
Soar high into the sky and go!
Come, come, come, smash through every barrier!
Block the incoming arrows and charge ahead!
...
O lightning, O lightning!
O lightning flashing across the sky!
O breeze, O breeze!
O gentle breeze roaring like a storm!
If they have no aim or purpose,
do not step aside or clear the way!
Every loss that you endure
is truly the root of your growth!
Come, come, come!
Come and win!
Soar high into the sky and go!
Come, come, come, smash through every barrier!
Block the incoming arrows and charge ahead!
