This is a passionate song about having the spirit to drive yourself to reach your goals and never give up. There were a lot of really difficult words in this and I’m sure I’ve made some mistakes but I’ve done my best capture the “spirit” of the song (pun fully intended). The music reminds me heaps of “The Greatest Show” from “The Greatest Showman” too… so bonus for the Hugh Jackman fans of us! (Or is that just me?)
Original Japanese: Utaten
English Translation
Wo Oh oh… Burning Spirit
Wo Oh oh… They’ll never take our Spirit
Breathing only to answer our own questions
How can we break free? Labyrinth
What will we see? Beautiful things?
Free things? Which is your mind
But we want to keep our world all to ourselves
Anyone can see we’re not getting in the way
We’ll sing to tomorrow, our hopes that can’t be shaken
Light the flame Wake up
Life is so heart breaking it makes you laugh
Burn out Stand up
Life is so beautiful it makes you cry
Shout out !!
Wo Oh oh… Boiling Spirit
Wo Oh oh… They’ll never take our Spirit
Whenever you think “for better or worse”
Stand tall and take the wounds Everyday
Can we take hold of the future we longed for?
Will we reach it? Don’t think try
I feel the beat throbbing and ringing in the Anthem
If it’s destiny we should fight for it
We’ll raise our muddy hands and sing
Let go Bring up
Life is so lost it makes you free
Don’t give in Keep on
Life is so violent it binds you
Shout out !!
Wo Oh oh… Trust your Spirit
Wo Oh oh… Drum up your Spirit
At the limits of the cycle of winning and losing
Because the rule is to leap into the proof of our existence
Bid those barely visible preconceptions Bye
Force out your courage Drown out the noise
Set your gaze no-where but forwards
Don’t stop Go on
Because giving up is the beginning of the end
Believe Don’t give up
Bound so tightly that it makes you feel alive?
It all depends on you
Light the flame Wake up
Life is so heart breaking it makes you laugh
Burn out Stand up
Life is so beautiful it makes you cry
Shout out !!
Wo Oh oh… Boiling Spirit
Wo Oh oh… They’ll never take our Spirit
Wo Oh oh… Trust your Spirit
Wo Oh oh… Drum up your Spirit
Wo Oh oh…
