Dokkan Dokkan tsuite ’ru!
Dokkan Dokkan Paradise
Genki Dama ga hajiketobu ze Go Go Let’s do it
Ugomeku ayashii enajī (enajī)
yōsha wa shinai ze miteru yo
inochini kaete mo mamoru yo (mamoru yo)
aisuru yuuki wo tsuyosani kaero
Yarinuku kiai de pinchi o koete ’ku
Tegowai yatsu hodo waku waku mo dekkai ze
Dokkan Dokkan tsuite ’ru!
Dokkan Dokkan chansu sa
Rakkī no kaze ni byun-byun notte
Dokkan Dokkan tsuite ’ru!
Dokkan Dokkan ashita mo
Kotae o mō tamashii wa shitte ’ru no sa Dragon Soul!
Uchū no pawā o kono te ni
Hitori de yuku n ja nai no sa
Hikari wa yamiyo ni makenai
Chiisa na yume de mo kagayaite ’ru yo
Arekore mayou na shūchū suru n da
Tsubekobe iwazu ni Karada goto tsukinukero
Dokkan Dokkan tsuite ’ru!
Dokkan Dokkan kite ’ru ze
Motto mirai ga tanoshiku naru yo

Kotae o mō tamashii wa shitte ’ru no sa Dragon Soul!

Dokkan Dokkan I’m in luck!
Dokkan Dokkan Paradise
The Genki Dama bursts forth, Go Go Let’s do it
A squirming, bewitching energy
I won’t show any mercy, just you watch
I’ll protect them, even if it costs me my life
Change your loving courage into strength
I’ll get through this pinch with a kiai
The stronger the guy, the huger the excitement
Dokkan Dokkan I’m in luck!
Dokkan Dokkan It’s my chance
Zip along on the winds of luck
Dokkan Dokkan I’m in luck!
Dokkan Dokkan Even tomorrow
My soul already knows the answer, Dragon Soul!
With the power of the universe in my hand
I don’t go alone
Light won’t lose to the black night
Even a small dream shines
Don’t get lost amidst this and that, concentrate
Don’t complain, and break through with your whole body
Dokkan Dokkan I’m in luck!
Dokkan Dokkan It’s here
The future will be even more fun
Dokkan Dokkan I’m in luck!
Dokkan Dokkan Paradise
The Genki Dama bursts forth, Go Go Let’s do it Dragon Soul!
Dokkan Dokkan I’m in luck!
Dokkan Dokkan It’s my chance
Zip along on the winds of luck
Dokkan Dokkan I’m in luck!
Dokkan Dokkan Even tomorrow
My soul already knows the answer, Dragon Soul!
(Repeat)
FUNimation Dub ( Vic Mignonga Version)[]
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!
FUNimation Dub (Sean Schemmel Version)[]
Don't stop, Don't stop were in luck now!
Don't stop, there's no fun to be found
We can't find paradise
All we have to do is go! Go! Free your soul!
Mysteries abound in this world that we will see (that we will see)
Foes all around well now we'll go fearless and free
I feel so strange that's how we'll win (that's how we'll win)
Courage won't fail if you come with me, the enemies can tail the wind
We will fight for love and glory, we will love to tell a story
There is nothing we can live through nothing can ever die, we will fight again!
Don't stop, Don't stop were in luck now!
Don't stop, keep your fears abound
All we have to do is go!
Don't stop, Don't stop were in luck now!
Don't stop, there's no fun to be found
We can't find paradise
All we have to do is go! Go! Free your soul!
Dragon Soul!
