River

AKB~!
48!

Keep moving forward! (Got it!)
Don’t stop! (Got it!)
The goal is where the sun rises
Walk the path of hope

A river blocks the way! River! River!
A river sprawls out!
A river of fate! River! River!
A river that tests you!

Throw away your doubts
Show your guts
Don’t hesitate
Right now
Take a step! Believe in yourself!

Forward, forward
Keep going straight
Cross the river!! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!

Dreams are always
Visible from afar
Feeling like they’re out of reach
Pick up a stone
Get reckless
And throw it

A river flows before your eyes
A wide, big river
Even if it’s dark and deep
Even if the current is fast
You don’t have to be scared
Even if you’re far away
That’s right, there’s a shore on the other side
Trust yourself more

Swim through the darkness
Just keep going
Don’t look back! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!

If you reach out, there’s
A future waiting for you
Don’t give up on what seems unreachable
The stone you threw
Will make your dreams come true
You won’t hear the sound of it falling

A river flows in your heart too
A river of painful trials
Even if things don’t go well
Even if you sometimes drown
Just keep repeating
Don’t give up
There’s a shore waiting for you
You’ll reach it someday

Get over it!
River!

Ah-ah-ah-ah
Don’t make excuses to yourself
Ah-ah-ah-ah
You won’t know until you try
Ah-ah-ah-ah
You can only move straight ahead

Keep walking, keep walking, keep walking
Continue on the path you chose

A river flows before your eyes
A wide, big river
Even if it’s dark and deep
Even if the current is fast
You don’t have to be scared
Even if you’re far away
That’s right, there’s a shore on the other side
Trust yourself more

A river flows in your heart too
A river of sweat and tears
Even if you fail
Even if you get swept away
You can start over
Don’t be weak
Cling to your dreams
Until the day your wishes come true

Cross the river
You can do it!
