Datte madamada shobokute
Hora mata mayotte tomedonaku WASTED
Wagamama LADY furidashi modotte
Risou wa dekakute imada ni fukakutei

Kachi o tsukamu made sono ashi tomeru na
Ichi ka bachi ka demo yaru tokya yaru no sa [!!]

(Listen...)

Come on, you're still not in good enough shape.
See, you're hesitating again and everything's being wasted.
Stubborn lady, go back to the beginning --
You've got these huge ideals that are still uncertain.

Close your eyes and feel
This speed...
Feel your dream on that
Limitless field.

Don't stop until victory is yours --
Even if the stakes are high, you can do it. [!!]
Aim for your goals,
Like the heroes on TV
That you always watched.
(Ow!)

It's gonna be crazy; you're being stubborn...
You're doing whatever you want again; it's all monkey business.
Stubborn lady, hurry up and stop crying --
You've got a wonderful life; it's OK to go all out.

Can you hear this
Nonstop cheering?
Play the truth on that
Shining stage.

You don't need to worry about rumors --
Even if the stakes are high, you've just got to do it.
Awaken a miracle effortlessly,
Like the heroes on TV
That you always watched.

Don't stop until victory is yours --
Even if the stakes are high, you can do it.
Aim for your goals,
Like the heroes on TV
That you always watched.

Awaken a miracle effortlessly.
Oasis Heart3's Note:
[!!] "One or Eight" is a pun. "Ichi ka bachi ka", is a Japanese expression that means "sink or swim". (Similar English expressions are "do or die", and "all or nothing".) But "ichi" can also mean "one", and "hachi/bachi" can also mean "eight". (^^) Kiwi Musume chose not to translate the expression directly, and used more natural language instead.

Also: you might notice a few other sports references too. That's probably because this song was once used as the theme for a sports show. You can learn more on the "Commercialized Songs" page.
