English Localization (By Wayfarer)
NOTE: These lyrics are most likely inaccurate!
On the sandbag, it appears and disappears
The face of the guy who I hate
Hit it! Hit it! Hit it! 
The beast's blood stirs within me.
 
But, lu-lu-lu-lu...
Lulululululululu
Tomorrow will surely bring me something.
Which way will it be?
 
Those with parents - return to your country.
As for those who come with me - we are wolves.
Howl! Howl! Howl! 
I crave the wilderness.
 
But, lu-lu-lu-lu...
Lulululululululu
Tomorrow will surely bring me something.
Which way will it be?
 
The sunset sky over the juvenile detention center
Is burning fiercely.
I'll do it! I'll do it! I'll do it!
I have the determination to fight.
 
But, lu-lu-lu-lu...
Lulululululululu
Tomorrow will surely bring me something.
Which way will it be?
