[English]

Uh

Come on girls

This is our generation, huh

This is a once-in-a-lifetime showtime

Bright red lipstick isn't for kisses or hugs—it's magic to make you stronger

I'll walk with confidence

Tippity-hop heels beat to the rhythm

The beat freely marks my tempo

The stopped clock's hand points

Because pain moves the heart

Hey girls, let's speak out

Hands up and stand up

The world is in our hands, just as we wish

世界はこの手の中 望み通り

Hey girls, brave it out

Wake up and look up

I'll make my dreams come true with this voice

Girls, speak it loud

Speak it loud

Come on girls

Girls, speak it loud

Speak it loud

Come on girls

That nostalgic song playing on the radio

Wipe your tears and face forward

It's asking, on my way

Ah ah, my future's in my pocket

Ah ah 私の未来はIn my pocket

In my own glittering lane, all alone

Oh, it hurt when I was cut (painful moments)

But thank you for the diamond you've made

The stopped clock's hand points

Because pain moves the moment

Hey girls, let's speak out

Hands up and stand up

The world is in our hands, just as we wish

Hey girls, brave it out

Wake up and look up

I'll make my wishes come true with this voice

All alone (silent night)

Counting stars (twilight)

Shining bright (baby girls)

Even when scared (don't cry)

If I become your light again

Just wish for it, tracing my voice

If you're crying in the corner of your bed

Shout it out to the center of the world

Who's truly the scariest in this world?

Girls, speak it loud

Hey girls, let's speak out (Speak Out)

Hands up and stand up (Whoah)

The world is in our hands, just as we wish (Doing it like I should)

Hey girls, brave it out

Wake up (Wake Up) and look up

My wishes can be fulfilled with this voice (Reaching to the skies)

Girls, speak it out

Speak it loud

Come on girls

Girls, speak it out

Speak it loud

Come on girls

...

[Japanese]

Uh

Come on girls

This is our generation hah

1度きりのショータイム

真っ赤なリップスティックは

キスやハグのためじゃない強くなれる魔法

堂々と歩くわ

Tittupヒールはビートに

リズムは自由に刻める 私のテンポで

止まった時計の針が指した

痛みが心を動かすから

Hey girls let's speak out

Hands up and stand up

世界はこの手の中 望み通り

Hey girls brave it out

Wake up and look up

願いはこの声で叶えさせて

Girls speak it loud

Speak it loud

Come on girls

Girls speak it loud

Speak it loud

Come on girls

ラジオから流れてきた

懐かしいあの歌が

涙拭って 前を向いて

問いかけてるon my way

Ah ah 私の未来はIn my pocket

誰もいないキラキラのMy own lane

あぁ痛かった 削られた時は

でも君が作ったダイヤありがとうございます

止まった時計の針が指した

痛みが刻を動かすから

Hey girls let's speak out

Hands up and stand up

世界はこの手の中 望み通り

Hey girls brave it out

Wake up and look up

願いはこの声で叶えさせて

一人きり (silent night)

数える星 (twilight)

輝くことが (baby girls)

怖くなっても (don't cry)

もう一度 また君の光になれば

そう願って 声を辿って

ベッドの隅で泣くんだったら

世界の中心で叫んでやった

この世で本当に怖いのは誰かしら

Girls speak it loud

Hey girls let's speak out (Speak Out)

Hands up and stand up (Whoah)

世界はこの手の中 望み通り (Doing it like I should)

Hey girls brave it out

Wake up (Wake Up) and look up

願いはこの声で叶えられる (Reaching to the skies)

Girls Speak It Out

Speak it loud

Come on girls

Girls Speak It Out

Speak it loud

Come on girls
