Shinken shoubu to wa sou iu koto

真剣勝負とはそういうこと

Shinken shoubu to wa sou iu koto
That's what we call an earnest fight

KANJI

思い出そうあの日　半年前のあの日
二年との試合で　勝利をおさめたのに
レギュラー入りの約束を　反故にした顧問

思い出そうあの日　半年前のあの日
顧問への抗議を　チクリといちゃもんつけ
俺達をボコボコにした　卑劣な先輩

そんな俺たちのところにやってきた　テニスのうまい転校生
へこんでる俺達を理解してくれた　希望の星だぜ反逆児　橘

思い出そうあの日　半年前のあの日
先輩の暴力　顧問の妨害さえ
すべてはねのけ手に入れた　俺達の自立

苦労して手に入れた　このポジション
痛みとともに結びあった　我らの連帯
近づいた奴には　必ず傷負わす
真剣勝負とは　そういうこと

お坊ちゃまにはわからない　パッション
谷底から見上げてた　幻の勝利
爪を泥で汚し　這い上がったからには
幻を現実に変えてやる
真剣勝負とはそういうこと
真剣勝負とはそういうこと

ENGLISH

I remember that day half a year ago.
However we won the matches against the second years, the promise of the coach that we could join the regulars was broken.

I remember that day half a year ago.
We told our coach how the picked fights with us.
How we didn’t stand a chance against our dirty senpai.

Then that guy came to us, a transfer student talented in tennis.
He sympathized with our depressed minds.
He was a rebellious person, a star of hope named Tachibana.

I remember that day half a year ago.
The violence of our senpai was interrupted by our coach.
We obtained all we wanted, our independence.

We gained this position through suffering.
Our shared pain united us and created our solidarity.
So we confronted them, certain we’d be beaten up.
It’s what we call an earnest fight.

It’s passion that can’t be understood by a child.
From the bottom of a pit we raised ourselves to the illusion of victory.
Our nails were filthy with mud after we climbed up.
We will change this illusion into reality.

That is what we call an earnest fight.
That is what we call an earnest fight.
