Оригинальный текст песни: Risin' up, back on the street Did my time, took my chances Went the distance now I'm back on my feet Just a man and his will to survive So many times it happens too fast You trade your passion for glory Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past You must fight just to keep them alive It's the eye of the tiger It's the thrill of the fight Rising up to the challenge of our rival And the last known survivor Stalks his prey in the night And he's watching us all With the eye of the tiger Face to face, out in the heat Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry They stack the odds still we take to the street For the kill, with the skill to survive It's the eye of the tiger It's the thrill of the fight Rising up to the challenge of our rival And the last known survivor Stalks his prey in the night And he's watching us all With the eye of the tiger Risin' up, straight to the top Had the guts, got the glory Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop Just a man and his will to survive It's the eye of the tiger It's the thrill of the fight Rising up to the challenge of our rival And the last known survivor Stalks his prey in the night And he's watching us all With the eye of the tiger The eye of the tiger The eye of the tiger The eye of the tiger The eye of the tiger Перевод: Не боялся молвы, бунтовал, Рисковал, но сумел победить. Я вернулся, но не растерял, Веру в жизнь и желание жить. Ради славы минутной людской, Не пытайтесь себя изменить. Пусть горит путеводной звездой, Вера в жизнь и желание жить. Око тигра, недремлющий взгляд бьёт как плеть, Вызов брошен, забудь все сомненья и страх, И увидит последний, кто смог уцелеть, Отраженье своё в хищных жёлтых глазах...
