[English]

Shake off confused worries in my head

Where I should head to doesn’t matter anymore

Wherever the steps take me I’m Runnin’

Retie my loose shoelaces Movin’

Now I’m free! Get up I can go anywhere

Free! Get up I go my way Get out of my way

Free! Get out Wherever I go, never mind

Da Dadada Dada Da Da Da

Stretch my body after crouching Walk anywhere Feel a ease

I even make a muddy road Into a bling bling one

A dramatic and perfect ending

I’m the director Life as a masterpiece So

Tightly tightly persistently

Tie harder Double knot

Tie harder Double knot

I go anywhere Go go

I choose as I like Go go

I go anywhere Go go

As I want to go

Da Dadada Dada Da Da

Dice without marking Coin without front and back I don’t care which side is shown

Looking at the compass without direction Going

Even if I can’t get many things It’s okay if it’s 1 out of 100

Even if I greedily paint every single color on a blank paper

Only black color will remain

Now I’m free! Get up I can go anywhere

Free! Get up I go my way Get out of my way

Free! Get out Wherever I go, never mind

Da Dadada Dada Da Da Da

I’ve been looking at one thing Now I have a broader perspective

I start to look at many roads

Looking at this place divided into many crossroads, eyes wide open

Go! Break all the, break all the rules As my steps go

I’m out of breath

Tightly tightly persistently

Tie harder Double knot

Tie harder Double knot

I go anywhere Go go

I choose as I like Go go

I go anywhere Go go

As I want to go

Da Dadada Dada Da Da

Whether I stop or not, Ey ey

Wherever I go, ey ey

Whether I do something or not

I do everything as I like

Double knot

Double knot

Go! Go! Go! Go!

Go! Go! Double knot
