Omoidasu darou

Ano hi no jōki ni

Ōku o ushinatte

Musū ni aru ayamachi no ato

Susumedo michi ga mienu toki ni

Omae wa itta

"Myakuuchi moyuru sono chi ni toe"

Kotaero kodō

Kōtetsu no kabaneri yo sā

Tachiagare ono ga subete chi ni tatakitsuke

Ima sono kokoro wa chikatta tomo no tame ni

Moyase yo sono inochi

Kaete yuke sekai o

Omoidasu darou

Ano hi no jibun o

Dare ga yurusu darou

Yami ga torau nibita kokoro o

Mamore nakatta mono o omoi

Nageke soshite sono itami ga

Omae o ikasu tsuyosa to shiru

Fukutsu no kabaneri yo

Sā koete ike

Aragau sono te wa kirihiraku darou

Tame seruka kokoro

Yuragu koto no nai kakugo

Tsuranuke sono ishi de

Agaite tsukamitore

Tashika ni kiita

Kanashimi no naka daremo ga shita o muku toki

"Kao o agero" to

Osoreru koto wa nai

Miyo soko ni aru no wa kibō da

Ryō no me ni utsuru mono

Tsuyoku negae sore wa kanau

Kōtetsu no kabaneri yo

Sā tachiagare

Ono ga subete amaneku mono tachi ni

Kōtetsu no kabaneri yo sā

Tachiagare ono ga subete chi ni tatakitsuke

Ima sono kokoro wa chikatta tomo no tame ni

Moyase yo sono inochi

Kaete yuke sekai o

思い出すだろう

あの日の蒸気に

多くを失って

無数に在る　過ちの跡

進めど道が見えぬ時に

お前は言った

「脈打ち燃ゆるその血に問え」

応えろ鼓動

鋼鉄のカバネリよ　さあ

立ち上がれ　己が全て地に叩きつけ

今　その心は誓った友の為に

燃やせよ　その命

変えてゆけ世界を

思い出すだろう

あの日の自分を

誰が許すだろう

闇が捉う　鈍(にび)た心を

守れなかった者を思い

嘆け　そしてその痛みが

お前を生かす強さと知る

不屈のカバネリよ

さあ　超えて行け

抗うその手は切り開くだろう

為せるか心

揺らぐことのない覚悟

貫け　その意志で

足掻いて掴みとれ

確かに聞いた

悲しみの中　誰もが下を向く時

「顔を上げろ」と

恐れることはない

見よ　そこにあるのは希望だ

両の目に映るもの

強く願え　それは叶う

鋼鉄のカバネリよ

さあ　立ち上がれ

己が全て　遍く者たちに

鋼鉄のカバネリよ　さあ

立ち上がれ　己が全て地に叩きつけ

今　その心は誓った友の為に

燃やせよ　その命

変えてゆけ世界を

You will surely remember

Losing so much

Amid the steam of that day

Following an infinite number of mistakes

As the way forward still failed to come into view

You spoke

"Ask that burning blood that pulses within you"

Will that beating heart to respond

Kabaneri of the iron fortress go forth

And take your stand so you can come crashing down to Earth

Now, that heart took an oath for its friends

So let this life burn

And change the world

You will surely remember

Who you were that day

Who will be the one to forgive you?

Thinking of the dull hearts taken by darkness

You couldn't protect them

As you grieve for them, you realize that pain

Is becoming the strength to drive you forward

Indomitable Kabaneri

Go beyond everything

Those struggling hands are sure to tear on through

A heart that is uncertain of success

As an unyielding resolution

So push on through that with determination

And strike out wildly so you can take hold of it

I most certainly heard it

Once everyone had cast their eyes downward, among the sorrow someone yelled

"Raise your heads high"

There is nothing to fear

Take a look as hope lies just over there

Wish strongly for everything to reflect in those two eyes

And it will surely come true

Kabaneri of the iron fortress

Go forth and take your stand

Devote your everything to those far and wide

Kabaneri of the iron fortress go forth

And take your stand so you can come crashing down to Earth

Now, that heart took an oath for its friends

So let this life burn

And change the world
