Japanese lyrics:
[1st verse]
夜は闇を連れ
月は輝き
星は幾度大地に流れ落ちる
振り向くなと叫ぶ声が
今もどこかで響く
人は罪を重ねながら
知るから染みを両手に抱いて生きる
[Chorus]
Pride
You're my pride
Just my pride
自分を守るために
弱さを隠し
獣は牙をむく
For my pride
Just my pride
教えられた強さは
命を懸けても
愛するもののために
逝くのが勇気と呼ばれる
I'm gonna take my pride!
Translation:
Night shall bring darkness.
The moon shines.
How many times will stars fall upon the Earth?
The voice that screams, "Don't turn around,"
Still resounds somewhere.
People pile up sins while
Knowingly living on with a pair of stained hands.
Pride
You're my pride
Just my pride
In order to protect itself,
A beast conceals its weakness
And bears its fangs.
For my pride
Just my pride
The strength that was taught
Puts its life on the line
And dies for the sake of a loved one.
That's what's known as courage.
I'm gonna take my pride!
