AKB48 - High Tension English Translation
Forget what you look like and shout out loud
We won’t get anywhere without the rhythm
Just throw your stylish airs to the winds
Make some noise, get excited
Until the party ends

WOW… you only have one life to live
So dance!

Tension sion sion sion sion tension max!
Heat up up up up up let’s heat it up!
Don’t matter if the English is wrong
Turn that anxiety and nervousness into positive energy
Tension sion sion sion sion tension max!
Good job job job job job good job and it’s all right
Our bodies will start swaying
Even if the missiles fly and the world ends
Our last moments will be a happy end

OH! YEAH!
OH! YEAH!
Workaholics don’t thrive
If you can’t turn off your switch you’ll break down
When you’re too diligent all you collect is stress
Just laugh and play
And play hooky tomorrow

WOW… let’s have even more fun
And dance!

Tension sion sion sion sion shake off the tension!
Burst st st st let yourself burst open
Everyone of every age needs to join as one
So no bad blood can happen
Tension sion sion sion sion shake off the tension!
Please se se se se please run away to live another day
Heavy feelings will lift off your shoulders
And the big cheese who’s always been sitting somewhere
Would do well to follow your lead

In these era of uncertainty
We speak with frowns on our faces
To the prophets who might see the future
To the hypocrites who might proclaim their wishes
Don’t cry!
If you hate the night
Reasoning just brings pain
Worries in the dark
So we should burn with something instead
Blaze up with dreams and love
Leave all your earthly cares behind
Dance!
Dance!
Dance!
Dance!
