The flag of victory has arrived!
My dear friend, count it as mine too!
The flag of victory has arrived!
My dear friend, count it as mine too!
In the eyes that looked at you,
I have seen myself.
And in the eyes that looked at me,
you have seen yourself.
Both of us share this victory,
Aha, the sight both our eyes see is one and the same!
Hey, the flag of victory has arrived!
My dear friend, count it as mine too!
The flag of victory has arrived!
My dear friend, count it as mine too!
We cut our college classes,
and sneak cheat-sheets into the classroom!
We cut our college classes,
and sneak cheat-sheets into the classroom!
We roam the town together,
and spin tall tales to fool our teacher!
We flirt on the sly,
and check out every pretty girl we spot!
Everything is just fun and games, our daily habit,
this is our time to celebrate, my friend! Hahaha!
As I breathe your breath,
and you breathe mine,
this bond of love was born! Hoy hoy!
The flag of victory has arrived!
My dear friend, count it as mine too!
In the eyes that looked at you,
I have seen myself.
And in the eyes that looked at me,
you have seen yourself.
Both of us share this victory,
Aha, the sight both our eyes see is one and the same!
Hey, the flag of victory has arrived!
My dear friend, count it as mine too!
Competing with you
has shown the world who we truly are!
Competing with you
has shown the world who we truly are!
A garland adorns your shoulders, and in my life,
a golden moment has arrived!
Aha ha!
Even though people cast their envious eyes on us,
our friendship has stood firm!
Across seven past lifetimes and seven future lifetimes,
we are a kinship that stays united, my friend!
It continues when held close, and grows even when kept apart;
this is truly a divine bond! Aha aha!
The flag of victory has arrived!
My dear friend, count it as mine too!
The flag of victory has arrived!
My dear friend, count it as mine too!
In the eyes that looked at you,
I have seen myself.
And in the eyes that looked at me,
you have seen yourself.
Both of us share this victory,
Aha, the sight both our eyes see is one and the same!
