Lyrics

saa
hajimari no toki da
naiteita yoru ni wa sayonara sa
massara ni mai gurooria
kakageta sekai ni hitotsu no hata

arukidaseba
kaze wa yagate okoru darou
hata nabikasete susumou

saa
hajimemashite
mezameta sutoorii
mou mayowanai yo
arukidashite
yoake no sutoorii
motto mukou made

mekurumeku aruite
gamushara no saki ni ita amata no hata
nikayoranai sorera mo
sorezore ijigoto kakageta hata

suriyoru demo
jareau demo nai
bokura tada
yukisaki onaji tabibito

nee
tsukuridashite
misometa guroorii
tomo ni yukou yo
ayumiatte
kasanari pareido ni
motto mukou made

asa wa kage unde
kibou ga yandatte
ima dake wo shinjiteite
sorezore ni hikaru kakugo wo
hatajirushi ni koushin wo

nee
tsukuridashite
jiyuu no sutoorii
mou mayowanai yo
chigaiatte
yoake no pareido ni
tomo ni yukou yo

sekai ga hateru hi made
kakagete yukou
hikareatte
unmei mo koete
motto mukou made

bokura mukou made
zutto mukou made

English Translation

Come, 
the time for beginnings is at hand
It's goodbye to those tear-filled nights
One banner for the world 
that's raised My Gloria anew

Start walking and, in time, 
a wind will surely arise
Banner aflutter, let's advance

Come, 
it's nice to meet you
This story that's awakened
No more hesitation
Start walking
This story of a dawning
Even farther beyond

Walking blind and dazzled
The countless banners at the end of a headlong plunge
Not a single one like another
Yet each a banner raised with pride

Neither ingratiating 
nor playful
We're simply 
travelers going to the same place

Hey, 
start building
This glory we fell in love with
Let us go together
Walking side by side, 
in accord, to this parade
Even farther beyond

Though morning may birth shadows
And hope may grow ill
Just keep your faith in the here and now
In the resolve that shines in each of us
March for our cause

Hey, 
start building
This story of freedom
No more hesitation
Be wrong with one another 
to this parade of the dawning
Let us go together

'Til the day the world ends
Let us keep raising the banner
Light up one another,
transcending even destiny
Even farther beyond

Us to the beyond
All the way beyond
