I say
Hey, hey, hey START:DASH!!
Hey, hey, hey START:DASH!!

うぶ毛の小鳥たちも
いつか空に羽ばたく
大きな強い翼で飛ぶ

諦めちゃダメなんだ
その日が絶対来る
君も感じてるよね
始まりの鼓動

明日よ変われ!
希望に変われ!
眩しい光に照らされて変われ
START!!

悲しみに閉ざされて
泣くだけの君じゃない
熱い胸　きっと未来を切り開く筈さ
悲しみに閉ざされて
泣くだけじゃつまらない
きっと (きっと)
君の (夢の) チカラ (いまを)
動かすチカラ
信じてるよ...だから START!!

Hey, hey, hey START:DASH!!
Hey, hey, hey START:DASH!!

雨上がりの気分で
高まる期待のなか
躓いたことさえも
思い出にしよう

明日が咲くよ!
希望が咲くよ!
楽しいメロディー口ずさみ咲いた
DASH!!

喜びを受けとめて
君と僕つながろう
迷い道　やっと外へ抜けだした筈さ
喜びを受けとめて
君と僕　進むだろう
それは (それは) 遠い (夢の)
カケラ (だけど) 愛しいカケラ
彼方へと...僕は DASH!!

またひとつ　夢が生まれ...

悲しみに閉ざされて
泣くだけの君じゃない
熱い胸　きっと未来を切り開く筈さ

喜びを受けとめて
君と僕つながろう
迷い道　やっと外へ抜けだした筈さ
喜びを受けとめて
君と僕　進むだろう
それは (それは) 遠い (夢の)
カケラ (だけど) 愛しいカケラ
彼方へと...僕は DASH!!

Translations

I say
Hey, hey, hey START:DASH
Hey, hey, hey START:DASH

Even newborn baby birds
Will soar through the sky someday
They'll fly with great, strong wings

Don't ever give up
The day will definitely come
You can feel them too, can't you?
The beats of the beginning

O Tomorrow, change!
Transform into hope!
Transform, illuminated by that brilliant light
START!!

Being closed in by sorrow
And just crying - That isn't you
With your blazing heart, you definitely can clear the way to the future
Being closed in by sorrow
And just crying is boring
I'm sure (I'm sure)
Your (dream's) power (right now)
Can set things in motion
I believe in you, so START!!

Hey, hey, hey START:DASH!!
Hey, hey, hey START:DASH!!

The mood after the rain
Amidst growing expectations
Even the times when we stumbled
Let them become memories

Tomorrow will blossom!
Hope will blossom!
A humming fun melody blossomed
DASH!!

Grasp the happiness and
Let's form a connection between us
We've finally broken through and found our way
Grasp the happiness and
You and I will push on forward
Those are (those are) a distant (dream's)
Fragments (but they're) precious fragments
Towards beyond the border... I'll DASH!!

And again, a dream is born

Being closed in by sorrow
And just crying - That isn't you
With your blazing heart, you definitely can clear the way to the future

Grasp the happiness and
Let's form a connection between us
We've finally broken through and found our way
Grasp the happiness and
You and I will push on forward
Those are (those are) a distant (dream's)
Fragments (but they're) precious fragments
Towards beyond the border... I'll DASH!!
