Japanese Romaji Lyrics (Full version)

Dokkan Dokkan tsuiteru!
Dokkan Dokkan Paradise
Genkidama ga hajike tobu ze Go Go Let's do it

Ugomeku ayashii enajii
Yousha wa shinai ze mitero yo
Inochi ni kaetemo mamoru yo
Ai suru yuuki wo tsuyosa ni kaero

Translation of the Japanese Lyrics

Dokkan Dokkan We're in luck now!
Dokkan Dokkan Paradise
The Energy Sphere is about to explode! Go Go Let's do it

There's wriggling, mysterious energy
I won't hold back, just you watch
I'll risk my life to protect you
Turn your courage to love into strength
We'll over come crisis with carry-through spirit
The stronger my opponent is, the more excited I get

Dokkan Dokkan We're in luck now!
Dokkan Dokkan Now's our chance
Riding along the wind of luck
Dokkan Dokkan We're in luck now!
Dokkan Dokkan Tomorrow, too
You soul already knows the answer

DRAGON SOUL!

Uncut DVD

Don't stop, don't stop! We're in luck now!
Don't stop, there's so much to be found!
We can find paradise,
All we have to do is go! Go! Free your soul.
Mysteries abound made of a deep energy (energy).
Foes all around, But I will go fearless and free.
I'll give you strength, You give me love. That's how we'll live. (that's how we'll live)
Courage won't fade. If you're with me, my enemies can never win.

We will fight for love and glory. We will live to tell the story.
There is nothing we can't live through - Nothing ever dies; we will rise again.

Don't stop, don't stop! We're in luck now!
Don't stop, keep your spirit proud.
And ride upon the wind
All we have to do is go!

Don't stop, don't stop! We're in luck now!
Don't stop, there's so much to be found.
We can find paradise.
All we have to do is go! Go! Free your soul.
Dragon Soul!

This song is a remake from the original Dragon Ball series.
The song was re-recorded as of the Dragon Ball Z Kai Part 2 release. The line "Mysteries abound, in this world that we will see" was changed to "Mysteries abound, made of a deep energy"
