baiorizumu wa tsuubai rizumu de fuukei wa shunkan ni musuu no sen ore wo torimaku kaze	バイオリズムは ２ｘ（ツーバイ）リズムで 風景は　瞬間に　無数の線 俺を取り巻く風	Biorhythm is a two-time rhythm The scenery instantly becomes countless lines The wind envelops me

Everything altogether, Yes! Sonic!! “Watch out” and “Have a nice” are similar That’s right – both are by the skin of your teeth Throw boredom away And start running
kizame mune no rizumu sore ga ore no izumu manda ka muzumuzu suru yo nemuru toki wa tomaru keredo yume de hashiru nenjuu mukyuu no RUNAWAY	きざめ胸のリズム それが俺のイズム なんだかムズムズするよ 眠るときは止まる けれど夢で走る 年中　無休のRunaway	Carving the rhythm of your heart That's my style Itching for something exciting I may stop while asleep But in my dreams I keep on running A 24/7 runaway
ima shitai koto ashita dekiru koto kubetsu shinai kanjitara biito ni nore kimi wo shinjiru no sa	今したいこと 明日できること 区別しない感じたら　ビートに乗れ 君を信じるのさ	Things I can do today Things I can do tomorrow If you don't mind, if you feel it, follow the beat I believe in you

Surpass everything thoroughly There's no way I'll ever look back Aiming straight for the goal Takin' Take it GO! SONIC!! Thoroughly YES! SONIC!! "Let's shake hands" and 'Action Show' are similar Yes, both are for the sake of friendship Kick down the walls if you feel cramped And just follow your heart

Discotek Media translation

S-O-N-I-C, GO!

S-O-N-I-C, GO!

GO, GO, GO, GO, LET'S GO!

I played by the rules yesterday

but now I'm just gonna play it loose

I'll break the record best by a mile

If I don't keep running free

I'll lost my reason to be

That's my punk philosophy

Biorhythm is a two-beat rhythm

Everything passing by changes into countless lines

As the wind wraps around me

Inside or outside, just attack!

You can't be stopped, just go on!

I'll never surrender the lead

to anything or anyone

Inside or outside, GO SONIC!

You can't be stopped, YES SONIC!

"Watch out!" and "Have a nice day!" are so alike

Both are by the skin of your teeth, you see

Leave your boredom behind

and start running right now

S-O-N-I-C, GO!

S-O-N-I-C, GO!

GO, GO, GO, GO, LET'S GO!

S-O-N-I-C, GO! S-O-N-I-C, GO! Go, go, go go, LET'S GO!
Plus vite que la lumière, il court Sans même toucher terre, il court Pour nous sauver, il est le plus fort! Quand le risque est le maître à bord Il redouble encore plus d'efforts Pour nous sauver, il est le plus fort!	Faster than light, he runs Without even touching the ground, he runs To save us, he is the strongest! When risk is of importance He redoubles his efforts To save us, he is the strongest!
Contre les robots, ces machines du mal Il attaque et il esquive Rien arrête l'énergie de la tornade bleu!	Against robots, these evil machines He attacks and he dodges Nothing stops the energy of the blue tornado!
Cyber mystère! C'est Sonic! Hyper super! C'est Sonic! Sur tous les fronts, avec pour mission de fendre l'air plus vite que le son! (x2) Et dans l'espace, mettre sa vie en danger Jouer sa vie pour nous sauver!	Cyber mystery! It's Sonic! Hyper super! It's Sonic! On all fronts, with a mission to split the air faster than sound! (x2) And in space, putting his life in danger, Risking his life to save us!

Korean

S O N I C Go!

S O N I C Go!

Go, Go, Go, Go, Let's Go!

어제까지 지켜온 온 룰은

오늘은 단지 구속일 뿐

부숴버려! 최고를 노려!

마음껏 달리지 못하고

또다른 의미가 없다면

펑크한 철학이란 뭐지

바이오리듬은 두 배 더 빠르게

순식간에 풍경은 무수한 선이 돼

내 몸 감싸안는 바람

Inside Outside 공격해

이 세상 모든 걸 앞질러

누구 라더라도 무엇 하나라도

내 앞을 달려갈 순 없을 꺼야

Inside Outside Go! Sonic!!

이 세상 모든게 Yes! Sonic!!

위험하단 말과 Have a nice는 비슷해

그래, 암만 봐도 종이 한 장 차이일 뿐

지루함을 던져 버리고 지금 바로 달려나가

S O N I C Go!

S O N I C Go!

Go, Go, Go, Go, Let's Go!
