Stand up straight, look ahead, and live.
.أقف بثبات، أنظر للأمام، وأعيش
Ich muss aufrecht stehen
mit dem Blick nach vorne
Tengo que levantarme,
mirar al frente y vivir.
Tengo que levantarme,
mirar al frente y vivir.
Je dois me tenir droit et avancer.
Alzarmi sulle mie gambe, 
guardare dritto di fronte a me e vivere.
Levantar, olhar em frente e viver.
Встань, смотри вперёд и живи.
