Mae he susume! (Got it!)
Tachidomaru na! (Got it!)
Mezasu wa yō ga noboru basho
Kibō no michi o aruke!
Yukute habamu River! River! River!
Yokotawaru River!
Unmei no River! River! River!
Tamesa reru River!
Mayoi wa suteru nda!
Konjō o misero yo!
Tamerau na! Imasugu
Ippo fumidaseyo! Believe yourself!
Mae e mae e! Massugu susume!
Kawa o watare! ! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!
Itsu datte yume wa tōku ni mieru
Todokanai kurai kyori kanjiru
Ashimoto no ishi o hitotsu hirotte
Gamushara ni natte nagete miro!
Kimi no me no mae ni kawa ga nagareru
Hiroku ōkina kawada
Kuraku fukakute mo nagare hayakute mo
Obienakute ī hanarete ite mo
Sōda mukōgishi wa aru
Motto jibun o shinjiro yo
Yami no naka o hitasura oyoge!
Furikaeru na! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!
Te nobaseba soko ni mirai wa aru yo
Todokanai mono to akiramenai de!
Hōri nageta ishi wa yume o kanaete
Ochiru oto nanka kikoenai
Kimi no kokoro ni mo kawa ga nagareru
Tsurai shiren no kawada
Umaku ikanakute mo tokini oborete mo
Kurikaeseba ī akirameru na yo
Soko ni kishi wa aru nda
Itsuka tadori tsukerudarou
Kimi no me no mae ni kawa ga nagareru
Hiroku ōkina kawada
Kuraku fukakute mo nagare hayakute mo
Obienakute ī hanarete ite mo
Sōda mukōgishi wa aru

Kimi no kokoro ni mo kawa ga nagareru
Ase to namida no kawada!
Shippai shite shimatte mo
Nagasa rete shimatte mo
Yarinao seba ī yowane haku na yo
Yume ni shigami tsuku nda
Negai kanau hi ga kuru made
Move forward! (Got it!)
Keep going! (Got it!)
Aiming for the place where the sun rises
Walk the path of hope!
Blocking the way River! River! River!
Lie down River!
Destined River! River! River!
Tested River!
Throw away your hesitation!
Show me your guts!
Don't hesitate! now
Take a step forward! Believe yourself!
Forward forward! Go straight ahead!
Cross the river!! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!
Dreams always seem far away
I feel so far away that I can't reach you
Pick up one stone under your feet
Be reckless and throw it!
A river flows in front of you
It's a wide, big river
Even if it's dark and deep, even if it flows fast
You don't have to be afraid, even if you're far away
That's right, there's the other shore
Believe in yourself more
Swim in the darkness!
Don't look back! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!
If I reach out my hand, the future is there
Don't give up on what you can't reach!
The stone you threw will make your dreams come true
I can't hear the sound of falling
A river flows in your heart
It's a river of hard trials
Even if it doesn't go well, even if I drown at times
Just repeat, don't give up
There is a shore there
Someday we'll be able to reach
Get over it! River!
AH-AH-AH-AH-
Don't make excuses for yourself!
AH-AH-AH-AH-
You have to try it!
AH-AH-AH-AH-
Just keep going straight!
All the time all the time all the time
Keep walking choose your path!
A river flows in front of you
It's a wide, big river
Even if it's dark and deep, even if it flows fast
You don't have to be afraid, even if you're far away
That's right, there's the other shore
Believe in yourself more
A river flows in your heart
A river of sweat and tears!
Even if you fail
Even if I get washed away
Just start over, don't whine
I cling to my dreams
Until the day my wish comes true
