N.B. This is one of the theme songs from "Dragonball Z". The original lyrics of this song are mostly in Japanese, the exceptions being the line "We gotta power" and the words "Dragonball Z" spelled out in romanji ("doragonbooru Z"). In my translation, I've left "We gotta power" in English, modifying it only slightly, and I've respelled "Dragonball Z" as it would be spelled if the words were in Latin. No rhymes here and no elisions; it was hard enough just to make the words fit the music.

Opprimunt strages.
Undique circumdor.
Non tempus est plorando mihi.
Ampliabo iam
Centuplo meos nisos.
Magna dux
Sociorum fiam.

Quod omnino animum
Detinet
Faciet te vero
Aliquando egregium.

Hoc tempore
Caelum lucidum.
Satur lacte,
Ego laetus.
Proeliamur iam.
Gaudete
Rixa bona.
We got power!
Draconbal Ze!

Iam subita
Vi plaga ferit me.
Sed mox vincam
Nihilominus
Expedite
Tum flores crescent bene
Et rursum
Homines festivi.

Quod omnino animam
Detinet
Faciet te vero
Aliquanto praecipuum.

Hoc tempore
Animum lucidum.
Iam securus
Atque festivus.
Vertit saeculum
Gaudete
Formula vera
We got power!
Draconbal Ze!

Quod omnino animum
Detinet
Faciet te vero
Aliquando egregium.

Hoc tempore
Caelum lucidum.
Satur lacte,
Ego laetus.
Proeliamur iam.
Gaudete
Rixa bona.
We got power!
Draconbal Ze!
