HIGH FIVE!!

（★）
LOVE  HATE
PEACE  WAR
YOU & I
FREEDOM  CONTROL

SING IT AGAIN

(☆) x 2
No more war!!
We don't want!!
High five tonight!!
High five tonight!!

さぁ皆で手を鳴らせ　何かがきっと変わるはず
さぁ皆で手を繋げ　僕らにはきっとできるはず
一人の幸せ願うよりも
この世界の幸せ願おう

☆ x 4

さぁ皆で笑おうか　目が合うだけでわかるはず
さぁ皆で踊ろうか　言葉以上のモノがある
知らないふりして隠すよりも
素直なまま謝ればいい

Saa Minna de te wo narase　nanika ga kitto kawaru hazu
Saa Minna de te wo tsunage　bokura ni wa kitto dekiru hazu
Hitori no shiawase wo negau yori mo
Kono sekai no shiawase negaou

Saa Minna de waraou ka　me ga au dake de wakaru hazu
Saa Minna de odorou ka　kotoba ijou no mono ga aru
Shiranai furi shite kakusu yori mo
Sunao na mama ayamareba ii

Well, everyone, let's let our hands resound　Something should certainly change
Well, everyone, let's join hands　We should certainly be able to do it
Rather than just wishing for the happiness of one
Let's wish for the happiness of the world

☆ x 4

Well, everyone, let's laugh shall we?　By our eyes merely meeting, we should understand
Well, everyone, let's dance shall we?　There are things other than words
Rather than pretend to be innocent and hide
Just face the music and apologize

Notes:

• While there are only a few lines, the message is very compact. I tried a translation close to the original text but a lot of nuances are lost... Below I wrote the essence of the four lines that are addressed to 'everyone':
• Everyone! High five! The sound, the gesture, it is the beginning of something new.
• Everyone! Join hands, connect to one another. Together we certainly are able to achieve more!
• Everyone! Laugh! We can understand each-other by simply looking in each-other's eyes, looking at one another!
• Everyone! Dance! There are other ways than words to communicate. There are things, ways, more important than words.
