Stand Up
AKB Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

さあ 立ち上がれ!
絶望のその谷底から
さあ 立ち上がれ!
傷ついた体を起こせよ!
I will
故郷のすべてが焼かれ
逃げ惑っても
I will
人々が赤い血流し 泣き叫んでも
I will
ミサイルが降り注ぎ 空を覆っても
I will
ソルジャーが
国境越えてやって来ても
Stand up!
この国を捨てない / Stand up!
Stand up!
僕たちは生きる / Stand up!
Stand up!
真実は正義さ / Stand up!
Stand up!
僕たちは死なない / Stand up!
さあ 歩き出せ!
悲しみと涙の跡から
さあ 歩き出せ!
もう一度 姿を見せろよ
家族や友を守るために
自分が前に進むべきだ
煙と土埃の中で
道は明日へ続いている
見たことない旗が廃墟で
風に吹かれて翻(ひるがえ)っても
Don't cry! Don't fly!
Don't lie! I try!
僕の祈りが いつか届くまで
The lost world
I should go!
The lost world
I have to go!
The lost world
I wanna go!
The lost world
さあ 立ち上がれ!
争いや憎しみの中から
さあ 歩き出せ!
何度でも 太陽は昇る
さあ 立ち上がれ!
新しい光 浴びながら
さあ 歩き出せ!
逆境に負けたりはしない
Stand up!
世界を愛してる / Stand up!
Stand up!
今 何ができるか? / Stand up!
Stand up!
世界を愛してる / Stand up!
Stand up!
笑顔が戻るまで / Stand up!
さあ 立ち上がれ!
絶望のその谷底から
さあ 歩き出せ!
悲しみと涙の跡から
さあ 立ち上がれ!
傷ついた体を起こせよ!
さあ 歩き出せ!




もう一度 姿を見せろよ!
Stand up!

I bought this in '78 and still have the 12in single. A truly classic and quality track. I played it a lot then and throughout the years. I think there was also an lp too. Many thanks for this wonderful record. Much better than today's rubbish. Xx
