デジモンアドベンチャー theme song

"Digimon - Come una farfalla" is an Italian cover of BUTTER-FLY made by Raggi Fotonici in 2015 in collaboration with an Italian Digimon fan club.

Sarò come una farfalla Che cavalca il vento e vola Controcorrente sai, per raggiungerti ovunque sarai
 * -|Lyrics=

Troppe le mie distrazioni, Troppe le mie ossessioni, È ora che resti sintonizzato con me

Puoi dire WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW, che ne sarà poi di noi? Ripeti WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW, domani è lontano se visto da qui...

Dal sogno ritornerò alla realtà, Voglia pazza di libertà, Che strano effetto che fa questa vita senza nessuna certezza Volo, ma verso dove non so Ciò che conta è quello che ho Quello che custodirò dentro me

Sarò come una farfalla, Inseguendo la mia stella, Sfidando il vento per raggiungerti ovunque sarai

Ho imparato ad ascoltare, A dare un senso alle parole, C'è una canzone che io vorrei tu cantassi con me

Gridando WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW qualcuno poi ci sentirà, E ancora WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW, ho solo bisogno di stare un po' qui...

Dal sogno ritornerò alla realtà, Voglia pazza di libertà, Che strano effetto che fa questa vita senza nessuna certezza Volo, ma verso dove non so Ciò che conta è quello che ho Quello che custodirò dentro me

Torno alla luce dopo il blackout Mi domando come sarà Spingere tutto al di là del confine di ogni banale certezza Una farfalla sarò, Questo mondo non crede in me, eppure io credo in lui, In lui...

Dal sogno ritornerò alla realtà, Voglia pazza di libertà, Che strano effetto che fa questa vita senza nessuna certezza Volo, ma verso dove non so Ciò che conta è quello che ho Quello che custodirò dentro me I'll be like a butterfly Riding the wind and flying Against the current to reach you wherever you are
 * -|Translation=

I have too many distractions I have too many obsessions It's time for you to stay synchronized with me

And so WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW, what will be of us? Repeating WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW, Tomorrow is distant if seen from here...

I'll return to reality from the dream, A crazy need for freedom This life with no certainty makes a strange effect I'm flying but I don't know where All that matters is what I have And what I'm keeping inside me

I'll be like a butterfly Chasing after my star Challenging the wind to reach you wherever you are

I've learnt to listen To give meaning to the words There's a song I want you to sing with me

If we yell WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW someone will hear us And again WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW, I just need to stay here for a while...

I'll return to reality from the dream, A crazy need for freedom This life with no certainty makes a strange effect I'm flying but I don't know where All that matters is what I have And what I'm keeping inside me

I'm back to the light after the blackout I wonder how it will be Pushing everything beyond the borders of every dull certainty I'll be a butterfly This world doesn't believe in me, yet I do believe in it In it...

I'll return to reality from the dream, A crazy need for freedom This life with no certainty makes a strange effect I'm flying but I don't know where All that matters is what I have And what I'm keeping inside me

Yo solamente quiero amarte y todo mi calor brindarte. Te haré olvidar esas penas que te hacen mal.
 * -|Lyrics=

Hay que dar el sentimiento y cada momento vivirlo. Te haré olvidar, esas penas que te hacen mal.

Con el amor (wo, wo, wo, wo) se puede siempre alcanzar lo mejor. Con el amor (wo, wo, wo, wo) los sueños que tengas se van a cumplir.

Si tú lo deseas puedes volar, sólo tienes que confiar mucho en ti y seguir, puedes contar conmigo te doy todo mi apoyo. Si tú lo deseas puedes volar, si tú quieres el cielo alcanzar y las estrellas tocar. ¡DIGIMON!

I only want to love you and all my warmth to give you. I will make you forget those sorrows that hurt you.

You have to give the feeling and every moment live it. I will make you forget those sorrows that hurt you.

With love (wo, wo, wo, wo) you can always achieve the best. With love (wo, wo, wo, wo) the dreams you have will come true.

If you wish, you can fly, you just have to trust yourself a lot and continue, you can count on me, I give you my full support. If you want you can fly, if you want to reach the sky and touch the stars. DIGIMON!

 * Singers: Paul Gordon

This version, entitled "Digimon Are The Champions" (also referred to as the "Digimon Theme") is used in the American English dub of デジモンアドベンチャー, as broadcast in its country of origin, the United States. It is used for all 54 episodes in the series, during the show's entire original run in the U.S. from 14 August 1999 to 24 June 2000.

An instrumental and shorter version of the theme is played during the end credits for all English versions.

The theme itself was reused in the English dub of デジモンアドベンチャー 02 ZERO TWO. It was then later reused again and remixed in the English dub of デジモンテイマーズ.

Di Di Di Digimon! Digimon! Di Di Di Digimon Digimon! Di Di Di

Digimon! Digital Monsters! Digimon are the champions! Digimon! Digital Monsters! Digimon are the champions!

Change into Digital Champions To save the Digital World!

Digimon! Digital Monsters! Digimon are the champions! Digimon! Digital Monsters! Digimon are the champions!

Digivolve into champions! Digivolve into ultimate! Digimon! Digital Monsters! Digimon are the champions! Digimon! Digital Monsters! Digimon are the champions! Digimon! Digital Monsters! DIGIMON!

Trivia

 * While the theme was reused in デジモンアドベンチャー 02 and デジモンテイマーズ, the line "Digivolve into ultimate" was changed a lot to fit with the other series' primary digivolution; with Digimon Adventure 02 replacing it with "Armor Digivolve", and Digimon Tamers replacing it with "Digimodify".
