捧げよ
sasageyou
offer up/dedicate

Offer up

O ffering all we have to ensure that we are
F ree
F rom the
E ndless persecution that life's responsibilities place on us
R ecollecting all our strength to persevere through our trials

U nsure of our future we need to learn from our
P ast to make sure we succeed

In an intro of an anime I was watching I didn't have the subtitles on but every time the song came on I had this tremendous feeling within me, So I decided to check out the lyrics.

Every time the singer sang "sasageyou! sasageyou! Shinzou wo sasageyou!" I felt as if he was gripping my soul and telling me I need to rise and be triumphant. The words mean 'Offer up! Offer up! Offer up your heart!'

The anime is all about these soldiers which offer up their lives to save humanity and ensure that the human race would continue.
It was an incredible experience to feel so strongly when I had no idea what he was saying.

I hope that we can all offer up everything we have to try to do better and succeed in life!

Do I assume correctly that you've given the poem your own interpretation in English?

EREN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My son loves the Attack on Titan look kinda weird seeing the naked gods without genitalia. Why not allow them to wear shorts not Greek enough i suppose.

XD They are actually titans with an unknown origin, the reason why they are naked is because they have not real sense, their brains are as primitave as animals

what wonderful lore :)

Great anime

neat

Isn't it something to hear a different language and yet to be able to understand the feelings it is portraying? I've always believed in universal language. If we stop and listen while feeling, one can get a sense of the energy being communicated. Because you are open to receiving what is given, you are able to sense the meaning. That is an incredible gift because you don't let what is dictated in life, limit your learning. People tend to limit themselves by what is generally believed by all. But if you open your boundaries, you will be gifted with new understanding and growth. That is why you have a greater bridge to what is deeper. Keep expanding your outer limits and then you will have that aha moment!......Cabbagepatch

:) it is truly amazing to have and understand that universal language.

Very nice @xxsenpaixsamaxx 👏👏😄
