English (Translated) Angel... Angel... Angel... Angel... Angel... Angel... Hidden in the times, Recollections of over there, That's right, we were angels. Scattering all kinds of love from the sky above, From this star, I want to wipe off my tears. Say, the wide blue sky, Looking up to it, doesn't that boil the courage...? Even now. To my friends: However, I have lost my wings on my back, Besides, I still have my wonderful powers. To my friends: Embracing the lights, watching the dreams! Look! The rainbows are placing on your eyes. Angel... Angel... Angel...

To my friends: However, I have lost my wings on my back, Besides, I still have my wonderful powers. To my friends: Embracing the lights, watching the dreams! Look! The rainbows are placing on your eyes. But you said that it was dirt in the town, Now the tears made it crystal clear. Playing kick-the-can at the cloudy plaza, sliding down the moon, With the arrows in the hearts, people will be falling in love. So, depicting the visions, We can make our magic into reality... It's the truth. To my friends: Believe in tomorrow, if I could keep up, I can even turn this desert into a paradise. To my friends: I am hurt, and I must learn to go, Now, the loveful flower buds opens in my heart. To my friends: However, I have lost my wings on my back, Besides, I still have my wonderful powers. To my friends: Embracing the lights, watching the dreams! Look! The rainbows are placing on your eyes. Angel... Angel... Angel... Angel... Angel... Angel...

English version (Hironobu Kagayama)

Angel...Angel...Angel...
Angel...Angel...Angel...
Buried in time and distant memories
That's right we were angels
From high in the sky we scattered the seeds of love
We wanted to rid the world of sadness
Say look at that blue sky
As you stare into it doesn't your courage swell up in side?
Even now?
To my friends we may have lost the wings from our backs but still
Theres still some mysterious power that remains in us
To my friends lets embrace the light and dare to dream
Look! I can see the rainbow in your eyes
Angel...Angel...Angel

Spanish (Mexico) version

Ángel...Ángel...Ángel...
Ángel...Ángel...Ángel...
Pasa el tiempo y los recuerdos
se van alejando ya...
Ángeles fuimos y desde el cielo
semillas dimos de amor...
La tristeza de este mundo se borró
y desde el cielo azul,
la amistad y el amor siempre brillaron
y hoy también lo harán...
Mis alas no tengo,
desaparecieron ya,
pero conmigo tengo aún el poder...

En tu pupila,
el arcoíris se reflejó
y el amor florece en tu corazón...
Sigue teniendo fe y esperanza
en que el mañana va a cambiar...
Este desierto se transformará...
Paraíso es lo que pronto sera...
Abre tu corazón, la magia y el amor...
Son verdad...

Pasa el tiempo y en tu mirada inocencia puedo ver...
Eres la misma de aquel recuerdo
de nuestra bella niñez...
Y volando por las nubes lograrás
la luna al fin tocar,
recorriendo jardines infinitos por la eternidad...
Ya la magia es nuestra, nunca nadie
romperá los bellos lazos
de nuestra amistad...

En tu pupila el arcoíris se reflejó
y el amor florece en tu corazón
Sigue teniendo fé y esperanza en que el mañana va a cambiar...
Éste desierto se transformará,
paraíso es lo que pronto será...
Abre tu corazón, la magia
y el amor...
Son verdad...

La esperanza renacerá, el
mañana grandes dichas traerá...
Sigue teniendo fé y esperanza en que tus sueños cumplirás...
Sé que tu alma se transformará,
una luz de vida en ti nacerá...
Abre tu corazón, la magia
y el amor...
Son verdad...
Ángel...Ángel...Ángel

Trivia

• The scene showing King Kai and Goku with wings and halo in the Other World is based on the cover of the Dragon Ball manga chapter "Finale".
• FUNimation's dub of the equivalent episodes features excerpts from the We Were Angels ending sequence. One prominent scene in the original Japanese outro sequence was seeing Goku with angel wings and a halo, with a feather falling to the ground in a later frame. Interestingly, FUNimation's edit of these clips shows that feather falling to the ground, but does not show the angel-winged Goku.
• Goku's Angel Wings and King Kai's Wings appear as Accessories in Dragon Ball: Xenoverse.
