"Fuyu no Lion" (冬のライオン, translated as "Winter Lion") is the first ending theme song of the original Captain Tsubasa anime series, used from episode 1 to 49.

Japanese lyrics[]
これが若さと いうけれど
好きで迷って きたような
優しさひとひら あるならば
なにもいわずに 消えてくれ
Storm Storm Storm
うずくまる 男を叩け
Storm Storm Storm
泪ぐむ 心をつぶせ
いまの俺は 冬のライオン
ほんの少しだけ 眠らせてくれ
軽く生きろと 友がいう
それはたやすい ことだけど
見果てぬ夢でも 追いかけて
夢の散りぎわ 見てみたい
Storm Storm Storm
雄たけびを 男に投げろ
Storm Storm Storm
ふりかえる 心を飛ばせ
いまの俺は 冬のライオン
傷がいえるまで 眠らせてくれ
Storm Storm Storm
うずくまる 男を叩け
Storm Storm Storm
泪ぐむ 心をつぶせ
いまの俺は 冬のライオン
ほんの少しだけ眠らせてくれ
Transliterated lyrics[]
Kore ga wakasa to iu keredo
Suki de mayotte kita you na
Yasashisa hitohira aru naraba
Nan imo iwazu ni kietekure
Storm storm storm
Uzukumaru otoko o tatake
Storm storm storm
Namida gumu kokoro o tsubuse
Ima no ore wa fuyu no lion
Hon no sukoshi dake nemurasetekure
Karuku ikiro to tomo ga iu
Sore wa tayasui kodo dakedo
Mihatenu yume demo oikakete
Yume no chirigiwa mitemitai
Storm storm storm
Otakebi o otoko ni nagero
Storm storm storm
Furikaeru kokoro o tobase
Ima no ore wa fuyu no lion
Kizu ga ieru made nemurasetekure
Storm storm storm
Uzukumaru otoko o tatake
Storm storm storm
Namida gumu kokoro o tsubuse
Ima no ore wa fuyu no lion
Hon no sukoshi dake nemurasetekure
English translation[]
He was maybe only a child
But he liked to wander in the streets
He was a kind person
But without a word, he disappeared
Storm, storm, storm
He wasn't a man to run away from battles, though
Storm, storm, storm
Something crushed my heart and made it cry
I now became the winter lion
Even if it's just a little bit, let me rest up
