English translation
As you were journeying on your path,
you rolled up your sleeves, refusing to lose to anyone.
Even the side of your face looked so radiant!
Now recall that feeling from those days!No matter how steep a cliff might be,
we joined hands, climbed up together, and rejoiced together.
This is precisely why no one can replace you in my heart.
Remember the promise we made here.We lost our way and stumbled in many mazes, but together
we aimed for a new height and competed together, didn't we, my rival!
You must not give up midway on our journey,
for you have yet to reach the limit of your potentials!You forced a smile,
refusing to show anyone your sorrow.
Unable to bear your bursting regret,
why don't you once again reach out and embrace it?Covered with dancing crimson flames on your body,
with an appearance of a phoenix,
you take off, as everyone is waiting for your arrival.
Try again and challenge yourself now.Having piled up our bleeding emotions, we became stronger.
Your gale-like sharpness and your strength,
since you've come this far, do not cast them away now.
Let's have faith that we will definitely return someday.We have flown over countless bitter nights.
You're the only one with that special strength
of your persevering heart and blade-sharp eyes.
Now engrave that proof of "you" here!Nobody's there. Just sail away,
sail away, sail away!
