After an endless dream, in this world of nothingness It seems as if our beloved dreams will lose Even with these unreliable wings, covered in images that tend to stay I'm sure we can fly, On My Love

I'll become a merry butterfly, and ride on the earnest wind I'll come to see you where ever you are Ambiguous words are surprisingly handy I'll shout it out, while listening to a hit song

What do you mean, wow wow wow wow wow? I wonder if it'll echo through this town But, wow wow wow wow wow There's no use anticipating

After an endless dream, in this miserable world That's right, maybe not using common sense isn't so bad after all Even with these awkward wings, dyed with images that seem to stay I'm sure we can fly, On My Love

After an endless dream, in this world of nothingness It seems as if our beloved dreams will lose Even with these unreliable wings, covered in images that tend to stay I'm sure we can fly, Oh Yeah~

Menjadi Kupu-kupu yg sehat, Terbawa angin berkilau Sekarang ku pergi untuk bertemu di kau Hal yg bukan urusanmu, lebih baik lupakan saja Tidak ada waktu untuk bermain-main

Apa yang wow wow wow wow wow? Bisa dicapai dilangit ini Tetapi wow wow wow wow wow? Kita tidak tahu rencana di esok hari

Setelah mimpi panjang tiada akhir, di dunia sepi hingga pikiran bersemangat keliatannya akan kalah tapi kempak sayap tiada kabarnya Hanya berkhayal pasti kan bisa terbang

Ohhh Sayangkuuuuuu...

This version, entitled "Digimon Are The Champions" (also referred to as the "Digimon Theme") is used in the 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 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 (with only one lyric changed), and was later reused and remixed in the English dub of デジモンテイマーズ.
