Ganbaru...I think it can be translated as "persist, hang in there...". It is a motivational invitation.


EDIT: Sorry, I meant ganbaru is the base of the verb. The one written there is ganbatte, the "command" (that form, depending how used, might asume different tone apart from command) tense


降り注ぐ雨 マジで冷てぇ
暗闇の中 歩くしかねぇ
everything’s gonna be okay 恐れることねぇ
辛い時こそ胸を張れ

Sorry, I threw myself into a twisted path without actually the need to do it.

That word is read: GANBATTE and it means "hang in there, keep up, persist".
Just forget all the other stuff I said

chryuop is correct. Good translations for 頑張って are "Hang in there!" or "Good luck!"
