[English]

Hey boys, Hey girls, Hey babies

If you can't sleep, then open your eyes

We're super amazing, nice buddies

With an overwhelming, unbeatable nice mind

The howl of the winning dog echoes through the city

Until the cracked rules break again

8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, enjoying the countdown, eh

Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya

No way! Arguments are way too late

Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya

Eat as much as you like, sweet chocolate

Decide firmly where to draw the line

Ha, with this hand that paid the risk tax

Checkmate

Pure, joyful, and beautiful

Somewhere mysteriously and modestly

Kind-hearted and cool

Above all, everyone is lovely

I'm proud of you.

I'm proud of you.

I'm proud of you.

I'm proud of you.

Bad kids go to bed, that's the era

I want to dance with you in your favorite outfit

I won't let anyone say anything, no one can stop us

Tattered blue jeans, a skirt fluttering in the wind

Not much has changed

You understand, right? You get it, don't you?

Decide firmly where to draw the line

Hey, I don't like being sneaky about it!

Step by step

P・R・I・D・E qb Hey!

Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya

Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya

Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya

Hey boys, Hey girls, Hey babies

If you can't sleep, then open your eyes

Memories become beautiful over time

Sometimes sad and painful

But now, I can be proud

I'm proud of you

I'm proud of you

I'm proud of you

I'm proud of you

I'm proud of you

I'm proud of you

I'm proud of you

I'm proud of you

I'm proud of you

Every day is fun, shining brightly

Blood that has been rubbed in like shoe polish

We're super amazing, nice buddies

With an overwhelming, unbeatable nice mind

I just want to harbor it, won't let it be disturbed

Bad kids go to bed, that's the era

...

Hey boys, Hey girls, Hey babys
