MNL48 “First Rabbit” Lyrics + English Translation

[Verse 1]

Minsan sa’ming paglalakad kami’y napadpad
One time during our walk, we ended up

Sa kwebang madilim, walang makita
In a dark cave, nothing could be seen

Aking mga kasama sa dilim natakot na
My companions in the dark got scared

Ayaw nilang pumasok pa, naghintuan na
They didn’t want to go in, so they stopped there

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Pero ako, natuwa sa’king nakita
But I was delighted by what I saw

Kahit sa dilim ay matapang ako
Even in the dark, I was brave

[Chorus]

Kahit na masaktan, ‘di katatakutan
Even if I get hurt, I won’t be afraid

Kahit ang kadiliman, ‘di uurungan
Even in darkness, I won’t retreat

Dahil ang pangarap ay pinaglalaban
Because dreams are worth fighting for

Saisho no usagi ni narou
Let’s become the first rabbit

[Verse 2]

Hindi maipagmamalaki kung mahina ang loob
There’s no pride in a cowardly heart

Itaas ang sarili, tapang ang sandata
Hold your head high, courage is your weapon

Basta tuloy ang laban, kakampi ang mga bituin
Just keep fighting, the stars will be your allies

Sa daraanan ko bakas maiiwan
On the path I take, my footprints will remain

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Kahit na sa puso ay may pagdududa
Even when doubt lives in my heart

Tatapangan ang loob, lalaban ako
I’ll summon courage and fight

[Chorus]

Nasusugatan, may matututunan
Wounds will teach me lessons

Kahit ako’y lumuha, kahit pa masaktan
Even if I cry, even if I get hurt

Lahat ng hirap at dusa titiisin ko
All pain and hardship, I’ll endure

Saisho no usagi ni narou
Let’s become the first rabbit

[Bridge]

Tignan niyo, lahat tayo ‘di matatalo
Look, none of us will be defeated

Sa buhay huwag susuko, buong loob susugod na
In life, don’t give up, charge ahead with all your heart

Walang iwanan, magtatagumpay lahat
No one gets left behind, we’ll all succeed

[Chorus]

Kahit na masaktan, ‘di katatakutan
Even if I get hurt, I won’t be afraid

Kahit ang kadiliman, ‘di uurungan
Even in darkness, I won’t retreat

Tulad ng pangarap na pinaglalaban
Just like the dream we’re fighting for

Tuloy-tuloy walang susuko hanggang magkatotoo na lahat
We’ll go on, never quit until all our dreams come true

[Outro]

Nasusugatan, may matututunan
Wounds will teach me lessons

Kahit ako’y lumuha, kahit pa masaktan
Even if I cry, even if I get hurt

Lahat ng hirap at dusa titiisin ko
All pain and hardship, I’ll endure

Saisho no usagi ni narou
Let’s become the first rabbit
