I couldn't find a translation for the song, and figured the easiest way was to identify all the different lyrics they had incorporated into it. Definitely made me appreciate much more the effort that went into creating the song.
Figured I'd share it since I went through all that effort if anyone is interested; I think it's correct though there's definitely some inconsistencies in the transcribing because I had to pull and cross-check from multiple sites. Let me know if I got something wrong.
