[edit] Romanized Japanese lyrics
Hikaru kumo o tsukinuke Fly Away (Fly Away)
Karadajû ni hirogaru panorama
Kao o kerareta chikyû ga okotte (okotte)
Kazan o bakuhatsu saseru
Toketa kôri no naka ni
Kyôryû ga itara tamanori shikomitai ne
CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA
Nani ga okite mo kibun wa heno-heno kappa
CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA
Mune ga pachi-pachi suru hodo
Sawagu Genki Dama...Sparking!
Sora o kyûkôka Jet Coaster (Coaster)
Ochite yuku yo panikku no sono e
Keshiki sakasa ni naru to yukai sa (yukai sa)
Yamasae oshiri ni mieru
Nayamu jikan wa nai yo
Dokoka ni hisomu “bikkuri!” ni aitai kara
CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA
Atama karappo no hô ga yume tsumekomeru
CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA
Egao urutora zetto de
Kyô mo ai-yai-yai-yai-yai
CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA
Nani ga okite mo kibun wa heno-heno kappa
CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA
Mune ga pachi-pachi suru hodo
Sawagu Genki Dama...Sparking!
[edit] English translated lyrics
Piercing the shining clouds, I fly away (fly away),
While a panorama spreads through my body.
Kicked in the face, the Earth gets angry (gets angry),
And makes a volcano explode!
Within the melted polar ice,
If there’s a dinosaur, I want to train it to ride a ball!
CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA
No matter what happens, I feel like it’s no big deal!
CHA-LA HEAD CHA-LA
Just as loudly as my heart pounds,
The Genki Dama roars...Sparking!
Diving through the sky on a roller coaster (coaster),
I fall into a paradise of panic!
The scenery turns upside-down and I cheer up (cheer up),
’Cause the mountains even look like butts!
There’s no time for worrying,
’Cause there’s a suprise hidden somewhere, and I wanna find it!
CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA
I’d rather have my head be empty, so I can stuff it with dreams!
CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA
With a smile that’s Ultra-Z,
Even today is ai-yai-yai-yai-yai...
CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA
No matter what happens, I feel like it’s no big deal!
CHA-LA HEAD CHA-LA
Just as loudly my heart pounds,
The Genki Dama roars...Sparking!
[edit] English Remakes
There are two known English versions of this song. One was done by the same artists of the original Japanese version, and had similar, but somewhat different lyrics. The other English version was created for the Philippines broadcast of the series that was similar to the other English version, being that it used the same lyrics, but rerecorded the background score using instruments different from that of the original version.
