[English]

Oh-eh-oh-eh-oh (oh-eh-oh)

Oh-eh-oh-eh-oh (We gotta drama men)

Oh-eh-oh-eh-oh (oh-eh-oh)

Oh-eh-oh-eh-oh

Swallowed by the dark shadows

This world is at its limit

My burning feelings, to you in my heart

Strongly engraved, a star-lit dream

Tired of these boring days

Destroy it, this meaningless routine

There, rather than here

Look, we can go, a different path than now

We get ready (bomb)

Keep going hit it (shot)

Together with you

The world of dreams we were hoping for

There's no need to hesitate

Don't get lost

Take this hand

Don't let go

To that shining sky

Raise your voice eh-oh

Let's shout eh-oh

Dreams eh-oh

I'll make them come true, for sure

Keep on running running

Keep on it

Dazzling light

Is shining on you

Shining light

Is waiting for us

Oh-eh-oh

Step on the gas

Without losing speed

Keep going there

Attack more

We'll steal everything

Gratata it's a prime time Yes sir

We're racers, relentless chasers

Shot fire

There's no need to hesitate

Don't get lost

Take this hand

Don't let go

To that shining sky

Dazzling light

Is shining on you

Oh-eh-oh, forever

Keep on running running

Keep on it

Eh-oh, eh-oh

Even if we lose everything

If I just have you by my side, I'll go

To the ends of the earth

Dazzling light

Is shining on you

Shining light

Is waiting for us

Oh-eh-oh

I'm burning burning up

Keep singing

Don't stop

Oh-eh-oh-eh-oh

I'll make them come true, for sure

Keep on running running

Keep on it

...

Key Grammar Structures

• 暗い闇に飲み込まれた

  ➔ Passive Voice (Past Tense)

  ➔ The verb "飲み込まれた" (nomikomareta) is in the passive form. It means "was swallowed" or "was engulfed". The passive voice is formed with the verb's past form and expresses that the subject receives the action.

• 熱い想い 俺の胸に君に強く刻んでる a star-lit dream

  ➔ Te-iru form (Progressive/Resultative state)

  ➔ The verb "刻んでる" (kizanderu) is in the "te-iru" form. While it can express the progressive tense, here it implies a resulting state - "a star-lit dream is firmly engraved" in my heart.

• こっちよりあっち

  ➔ Comparative Particle "より"

  ➔ The particle "より" (yori) is used to make comparisons. In this case, it means "rather than this way, that way" or "that way is better than this way".

• 望んでいた 夢の世界

  ➔ Past Continuous/Past Perfect Continuous Adjective Clause

  ➔ "望んでいた" (nozondeita) is the past continuous/past perfect continuous form of the verb "望む" (nozomu - to desire/hope). It modifies "夢の世界" (yume no sekai - dream world), meaning "the dream world that we were hoping for" or "the dream world we had been longing for."

• すべて俺らが奪うぜ

  ➔ Emphatic sentence-ending particle "ぜ" (ze)

  ➔ The sentence-ending particle "ぜ" (ze) adds emphasis and a masculine tone to the statement. It indicates a strong intention or determination to do something. "俺らが奪う" (oreraga ubau) means "we will take" or "we will seize," and adding "ぜ" amplifies this.

• すべて失うとしても

  ➔ Conditional Form (～としても)

  ➔ The phrase "～としても" (to shitemo) is a conditional expression that means "even if" or "even though". It expresses a hypothetical situation. In this case, "すべて失うとしても" (subete ushinau to shitemo) means "even if we lose everything".

• 君さえそばにいれば行くよ

  ➔ さえ (sae) + Conditional form (ば - ba)

  ➔ "さえ" (sae) means "even" or "if only". When combined with the conditional form "いれば" (ireba), it means "if only you are by my side" or "as long as you are by my side". It emphasizes that the condition of the person being there is sufficient for the speaker to go anywhere. "行くよ" (iku yo) means "I will go".
