In today's article we are going to break down the music of the Digimon anime digivolutions, the classic Brave Heart by Ayumi Miyazaki. Finally you will understand every feeling and emotion of every word that the song tries to convey.
This article is being written in conjunction with our friend Rafael's website How to Learn Japanese. I wrote a second article breaking up the song ButterFly, the digimon opening sung by the late Kouji Wada. To access click here.

"Letra da música" translates to "Lyrics" in English.
逃げたりあきらめるコトは 誰も
一瞬あればできるから 歩き続けよう
君にしかできないコトがある 青い星に
光が失くせぬように
つかめ!描いた夢を
まもれ!大事な友を
たくましい自分になれるさ
知らないパワーが宿る ハートに火がついたら
どんな願いも 嘘じゃない
Show me your brave heart - Show me your brave heart!
Believe in your heart - Believe in your heart!
晴れの日ばかりじゃないから たまに
冷たい雨も降るけれど 傘ひろげよう
生き方に地図なんかないけど だから自由
どこへだって行ける 君も
はしれ!風より速く
めざせ!空より遠く
新しい自分に逢えるさ
知らない勇気が眠る ハートに気がついたら
胸の中のどしゃ降りも
きっと止むから… means "It will surely stop..." in English.
つかめ!眩しい明日を
まもれ!愛する人を
たくましい自分になれるさ
こわせ!弱気な君を
くずせ!ぶつかる壁を
熱い鼓動 武器になるから
believe in your heart
