Tenka-ichi Gohan ("The World's Greatest Gohan") Insert Song from DBZ Movie #1 (Return My Gohan!!)
Lyrics: Music: Arrangement: Vocals:	Sakiko Iwamuro Takeshi Ike Kenji Yamamoto Masako Nozawa (Son Gohan)
English Translation:	Julian Grybowski
Translator's Notes: This is a very happy song. The kind of song that can only be produced by illicit substances. Gohan's drunken escapade around Garlic Jr.'s castle has to be one of the funniest scenes in any of the DBZ movies, though his inebriatedness does make for trouble when it comes time to translate the song itself. The big issue here is the addition of unnecessary suffixes to otherwise normal words, which makes it a bit hard to tell exactly what tense or speaking mood he's going for. But I think I've got the gist of it.

Its spout shoots up, and turns into rain. A sto-sto-storm cloud looks like a great Shintô priest octopus too. The sun is surprised by it, and cooks it all up, And the floating takoyaki gets eaten by a dinosaur!1 I feel good, I feel good, somehow I feel really good, I feel good, I feel good, somehow I feel really happy. I'm in a good mood, and I'm really smart, I can see all sorts of worlds! Even if I don't study at all, I can see wonderful worlds! I'm the world's greatest genius! A rai-rai-rainbow's gems are seven-colored candies. They melt into the ground, and turn into flowers! The Earth starts to dance and the volcanoes start to sing. They erupt with a boom, blooming into big fireworks, And those fields of flowery light spread to the ends of the universe! I feel good, I feel good, somehow I feel really good, I feel good, I feel good, somehow I feel really happy. I'm in a really good mood, And there's nothing but happiness in the world! I'm in love with everything, And there's nothing but joy in the world! I'm the world's happiest person! I'm the world's greatest genius! 1 Takoyaki is fried octopus tentacles. Just thought you might like to know.
Hey everybody, Julian here. This invisible text doesn't have anything to do with the song itself, so as long as you're just casually reading the lyrics on Daizenshuu EX, this doesn't concern you. However, if you're reading this on another site, please contact me, at jgjedi@aol.com. I put a lot of hard work into this transcription/translation, and I don't appreciate those who would try and steal my work, claiming it as their own. So, to all of you worthless assholes out there who do that sort of thing, be aware...I'm watching...
