Apples to the Core – English Lyrics

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Come on, Apples. Y'all know this one!

We traveled the road of generations

Joined by a common bond

We sing our song 'cross the pony nation

From Equestria and beyond

We're Apples forever

Apples together.

We're family but so much more.

No matter what comes we will face the weather

We're Apples to the core

Pinkie Pie: You're more fun than the color pink

Or balloons flying over your favorite drink

The love I feel here is swim not sink

As we party across this land

AppleJack: Alright!

Both: We're Apples forever

Apples together.

We're family but so much more

No matter what comes we will face the weather

We're Apples to the core

Big Mac: Yup
