Majulah dijalan yang tak berujung
Kedepan percaya hanya mimpimu
Kuatkan lengan dan langkah kakimu
Tidak ada kata berhenti
Majulah di jalan masa mudamu
Kedepan tanpa perasaan bimbang
Incarlah masa depan yang berkilau
Sekaranglah saatnya
Walau nafas terhenti
Janganlah kau mengeluh
Usaplah keringatmu
Berjuanglah
Ready Go Go Go
Ready Go Go Go
Waktu fajar sang idola t'lah tiba
Ready Go Go Go
Ready Go Go Go
Matahari itu adalah aku
Ready Go Go Go
Ready Go Go Go
Hembusan angin mendorong punggungku
Ready Go Go Go
Ready Go Go Go
Langit tersimpan ada sebuah harapan
Matahari itu adalah aku
Majulah di jalanan yang berlumpur
Hadapi dengan harapan di hati
Lanjutkan teman seperjuanganku
Tidak ada kata menyerah
Majulah meskipun jalan berputar
Lanjutkan kita tidak akan hancur
Sampai perjalanan kita selesai
Sesuai dengan komando
Meski tak ada peta
Ditempat amat jauh
Pasti ada di sana
Titik kami
Ready Go Go Go
Ready Go Go Go
Waktu fajar sang idola t'lah tiba
Ready Go Go Go
Ready Go Go Go
Matahari itu adalah aku
Ready Go Go Go
Ready Go Go Go
Kibarkan bendera pasukan kita
Ready Go Go Go
Ready Go Go Go
Berkumpul di tempat kita berjanji
Harapan akan dapat terkabul

Move forward on the endless road
Forward, believe only in your dreams
Strengthen your arms and your steps
There is no such word as stop
Move forward on the path of your youth
Forward, without any hesitation
Aim for a sparkling future
Now is the time
Even if your breath runs out
Do not complain
Wipe away your sweat
Keep fighting
Ready Go Go Go
Ready Go Go Go
The time of the idol's dawn has arrived
Ready Go Go Go
Ready Go Go Go
That sun is me
Ready Go Go Go
Ready Go Go Go
The gust of wind pushes against my back
Ready Go Go Go
Ready Go Go Go
A hope is stored in the sky
That sun is me
Move forward on the muddy road
Face it with hope in your heart
Continue on, my fellow comrades in arms
There is no such word as surrender
Move forward even if the road twists and turns
Continue on, we will not be broken
Until our journey is complete
Following the command
Even if there is no map
In a place so far away
Surely, there it is
Our destination point
Ready Go Go Go
Ready Go Go Go
The time of the idol's dawn has arrived
Ready Go Go Go
Ready Go Go Go
That sun is me
Ready Go Go Go
Ready Go Go Go
Raise the flag of our troops
Ready Go Go Go
Ready Go Go Go
Gather at the place we promised
Our hopes will be granted
