Lyrics English:
With life’s cold hands,
We started this journey.
There’s a test at every corner,
Don’t be afraid, stand up without asking.

The strict teacher called life,
First tests, then teaches.
Each scar is a lesson,
Every tear is a line,
We grow, you watch.

In the darkness of the night,
We find our own path.
With each step a little more,
We grow stronger and learn.

The strict teacher called life,
First tests, then teaches.
Each scar is a lesson,
Every tear is a line,
We grow, you watch.

Broken hearts, faded dreams,
Each one is a treasure.
Even if we fall, we rise again,
In life’s teaching.

The strict teacher called life,
First tests, then teaches.
Each scar is a lesson,
Every tear is a line,
We grow, you watch.

On life’s harsh roads,
We find ourselves.
With every test, one step further,
We learn and grow stronger.
