Full version: "Love Life"
I don’t think about whether I can succeed.
Since I have chosen the distance,
I just care about it. Through thick and thin. I don't think about whether I can win love.
Since I love roses,
I bravely reveal my sincerity.
I don’t think about whether the cold wind and rain will come behind me.
Since the target is the horizon,
the only thing left to the world is my back.
I don’t think about whether the future will be smooth or muddy.
As long as I love life,
everything is expected.
