[Lyrics] BRAVE

[barbosa2007]

I'm usually not a huge fan of Arashi's sporting event theme song releases, but BRAVE has an incredible hook from the get-go and I highly recommend that you watch the performance ASAP!!!




That being said, the lyrics are befitting of a sports athem. I've translated it here.

BRAVE

English translation:

We’re gonna rock the world now (Hey! We’re gonna rock the world)

We’re gonna change the world now (Yeah gonna change the world now)

We’re never gonna look back (Struggling to do what I wanna do)

We’re never gonna give up (Oh gonna give up) Hey! Hey!

We’re taking on the same era and cutting through the wilderness

Countless destinies gathered together, Comrade, we’re ready to go

Even though we’re caked in mud, we’ll crawl our way up countless times, and one day

We’ll surely realize the dreams we’ve always held

Stepping firmly on the ground

Our roars will rip through the clouds

One for All

Combining unwavering strength, let’s charge down this winding road

At times we may be cornered by fright

But the times we’ll overcome can make it bright, yeah…

If our endlessly throbbing pulse would resonate, we’re not scared

So, push aside the cloud of dust that’s blocking your way

And challenge your limits

(Uh, c’mon baby)

(Yeah do what I wanna do)

Brave fighter, bring it on down

Release the passion rising up within you

Let’s move forward on this high, baby

If we happen to fall, we’d go beyond

We’ll offer up this sacrifice and we’re gonna take it

If it’s after the battle we’ll offer up all praise

“We’re throwing back the ball* that will take us to tomorrow”

Let’s meet at the top on the road to our dreams

Hey! One for all and all for you

Combining unwavering strength, let’s charge down this winding road

At times we may be cornered by fright

But the times we’ll overcome can make it bright, yeah…

If our endlessly throbbing pulse would resonate, we’re not scared

So, push aside the cloud of dust that’s blocking your way

There’s no limit

The spirit that leads us into the future

We’ll keep our eyes on the goal line** and keep runnin’

Say, it’ll be a story that we’ll hand down eternally

Without a moment to lose, we’ll carve a mark on our way to the top

(We’re gonna rock the world now)

We’ll offer up this sacrifice, we’re gonna take it

We’re gonna change the world now (Yeah gonna change the world now)

We’re never gonna look back (Let’s meet at the top on the road to our dreams)

We’re never gonna give up (Oh gonna give up)

*T/N: Sho, ever the rugby nerd. Rugby is a sport whereby players move towards the goal line by tossing the ball backwards.


**T/N: Yes, the goal line is a rugby term. It's the line that the rugby posts lie on.

Japanese lyrics:

We’re gonna rock the world now (Hey! We’re gonna rock the world)

We’re gonna change the world now (Yeah gonna change the world now)

We’re never gonna look back (Struggling to do what I wanna do)

We’re never gonna give up (Oh gonna give up) Hey! Hey!

同じ時代を背負い　荒野を切り拓く

無数の運命（さまめ）が引き寄せたComrade we’re ready to go

泥に塗れてもSame way何度も這い上がりOne day

抱き続ける願い　必ずRealize

大地踏みしめて　雲間さえ切り裂くように　叫ぶ　One for All

揺るぎないチカラ合わせて　突き進んでいこうWinding Road

時に迫るFright　乗り越えた数だけBright　Yeah…

脈打つ幾つもの鼓動　共鳴すればWe’re not scared

さあ立ち塞がる　砂埃かき分けて　限界の先へ挑もう

(Uh, c’mon baby)

(Yeah do what I wanna do)

Brave fighter Bring it on down

湧き上がる情熱　解き放て

気持ちは前へ進んで行こうぜbaby

倒れた俺のことなら越えて行って

犠牲も捧げて　We’re gonna take it

闘いのあとなら全て讃えて

“後ろへ放る明日へのBall”

頂上で合流　夢の道中

Hey! One for all and all for you

揺るぎないチカラ合わせて　突き進んでいこうWinding Road

時に迫るFright　乗り越えた数だけBright　Yeah…

脈打つ幾つもの鼓動　共鳴すればWe’re not scared

さあ立ち塞がる　砂埃かき分けて　There’s no limit

未来へ誘う魂　ゴールライン目指して Keep runnin’

さあいつまでも　語り継がれるストーリー

新たな足跡　頂（いただき）まで　絶え間もなく刻もう

（犠牲も捧げて　We’re gonna take it）

We’re gonna change the world now (Yeah gonna change the world now)

We’re never gonna look back （頂上で合流　夢の道中）

We’re never gonna give up (Oh gonna give up)
