Lyrics Translation (By Google Translate)
[Verse: 1]
Tie a dream
On the stone of hope
As if being obsessedCan’t be anywhere
Earnestly
But not clearFragments of hope buried in the rubble
I’m sure you’ll find this
To change the world[chorus:]
Fighting gold
Only the ones that are out of my
As long as you can shine someday
Strike the sky that blooms with God
There were two strong
Fighting gold[Verse 2:]
Just more than
Former Merareru
Move forwardWhilst wearing
In the sky
Catch the starsWith a solid bond to the future that nobody knows
Each one full of wounds is also
Hug me and alkidase[Chorus x2]
Fighting gold
Strip the light and simmer
The color of the sky and the embankment
I’ll live now if I come back
Because of us
Fighting goldLooking at the peace
Fighting gold
Only the ones that are out of my
As long as it shines someday
Strike the sky that blooms with God
There were two strong
Fighting gold
My Thoughts
This is probably my favorite opening credits song for JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure yet, and it is probably my favorite opening credits song for an anime this year so far.
The vocals are what really make this song work, especially the Fighting Gold parts, along with the energy of it.
The end,
