## Lyrics

### Japanese

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!

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

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

### English

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!
