[English]

Conflicting fears are closing in on me

With every step I take, I become stronger again

oh oh oh oh

Right now, I fill the gap between us and the future I imagined

Holding onto my wishes as if to fill that space

Try again and again

Blast out!

Blaaaw blaaaw, be like a tiger

Grab it with your own straight hand

Blast out!

Blaaaw blaaaw, be like a tiger

I've overcome tears of frustration

It's now or never, oh oh!

Because there's only now

To the future you desire, with me now

Hey, what up, y’all

There’s nothing to it but to do it

You gotta do what you gotta do

Hey, want to change? Want to make it real? Then roar it out!

Blaaaw blaaaw

Your fangs aren’t broken — polish your skills

Follow your heart and bring it on down

Buddy bye, buddy bye bye boom boom

Breaking out of a narrow world now

Do your best, shake it all off

Try once more

Blast out!

Blaaaw blaaaw, be like a tiger

Move forward with your heartbeat

Blast out!

Blaaaw blaaaw, be like a tiger

Shine brightly with your eyes

It's now or never, oh oh!

Because there's only now

To the world you dream of, with me now

Hey everybody, throw your hands up!

Hey, don’t be shy, baby, scream it out!

Blast out!

Blaaaw blaaaw, be like a tiger

Grab it with your own straight hand

Blast out!

Blaaaw blaaaw, be like a tiger

Overcome tears of frustration

It's now or never, oh oh!

Because there's only now

To the world you dream of, with me now
