Translator’s Note
In all international editions of the 2013 film Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, both the insert and ending songs were replaced by English versions performed by the same band. This version differs from a previous English version performed by Hironobu Kageyama; it is also not an exact translation of the original Japanese lyrics due to the constraints of making the lyrics fit the meter, although it is slightly less “free” (and at times, slightly less translated) than Kageyama’s version. A direct translation of the Japanese song (in its original 1989 arrangement) can be found here.
Lyrics in English
Cha-La Head-Cha-La
Keep shinin’ ultimate Z on everything
It got me Ai yai yai yai yai….Sparking!
Breakin’ out, sky without a limit
Gonna fly away (fly away)
Everything beneath me
I become a part of it all
Big planet tired of me kickin’ it in the face (in the face)
Hittin’ back with mad volcanic attitude
Rad, if I found a dinosaur on ice
Somewhere in the Arctic
I’m sure I could teach him a trick or two
Cha-La Head-Cha-La
Don’t matter things are all right
I’m good to go
Heno-Heno-Kappa
Cha-La Head-Cha-La
Here, burnin’ Pachi-Pachi inside, you know
A fire ball of energy….Sparking!
Nose divin’
Never need a ticket, roller coaster (coaster)
Catch a taste of panic
Fall and then I do it again
It’s somethin’, really really somethin’
When your up is down (up is down)
And a mountain looks jus’ like a butt to you
No time to worry, what I’m gonna do
Just gimme a big surprise
The future is hidin’ it somewhere new
Cha-La Head-Cha-La
It’s true an empty head really ain’t so bad
I can fill it up with dreams
Cha-La Head-Cha-La
Keep shinin’ ultimate Z on everything
It got me Ai yai yai yai yai….
Cha-La Head-Cha-La
Don’t matter things are all right I’m good to go
Heno-Heno-Kappa
Cha-La Head-Cha-La
Here, burnin’ Pachi-Pachi inside, you know
A fire ball of energy….Sparking!
