AKB~!

48!

Advance forward! (Got it!)

Don’t you dare to halt! (Got it!)

Our aim is that place where the sun rise

Walk on the path of hope!

What blocked this path is a River! River! River!

A stretched-out River!

The fated River! River! River!

An ordeal River!

Throw away all your doubts!

Show your willpower!

Don’t hesitate!

Immediately

One step forward! Believe in yourself!

Forward forward!

Go straight ahead!

Cross the river!! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!

A dream is always

Looked so far away

Feels like its distance could not be reached

Pick up that stone

Under your foot

And with all your might

Throw it away!

Just before your very eyes

A river is flowing

Broadly, such a great river

Darkly, deeply, even so

The current is fast, even so

Do not be scared, OK?

Do not wander off

That’s right, the opposite side is there

So more, believe in yourself

Inside the darkness

Just keep swimming!

Don’t turn your head! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!

When you extend your hand

Right there

Future exists, you see

Don’t give up on the thing you can not reach!

The stone that you toss

Is the dream granter

Somehow its falling sound could not be heard

Inside your heart too

A river is flowing

So painful, a river of trial

Maybe it doesn’t go smoothly, even so

Sometimes you’re almost drown, even so

It’s OK to repeat again

Do not give it up

The bank exists just there

Someday your struggle will bring you to it

Get over it!

RIVER!

AH-AH-AH-AH-

Stop telling excuse to yourself!

AH-AH-AH-AH-

Can’t do nothing but keep going!

AH-AH-AH-AH-

Gotta keep moving forward!

Keep going keep going keep going

Keep walking on

The path you’ve decided!

Just before your very eyes

A river is flowing

Broadly, such a great river

Darkly, deeply, even so

The current is fast, even so

Do not be scared, OK?

Do not wander off

That’s right, the opposite side is there

So more, believe in yourself

Inside your heart too

A river is flowing

It is, a river of sweat and tears!

Even if you make a failure

Even if it makes you cry

It is OK to start over

Don’t say any complaint

Cling onto your dream, yeah

Until the day where your wish come true

Cross the river!

You can do it!
