パウッ！
肺の中の空気すべて
１cc残らず絞り出せ

私はツェペリ男爵　勇気だけじゃ勝てない
石仮面の力　私は味方さ
君の呼吸を操り　君の呼吸が痛みを消した
私は君の味方さ　ジョナサン・ジョースター

ヘイ　ジョジョ　質問は一つずつにしてくれよ
答え見せてやろう　ついておいで
さすれば運命は変わる
受け入れるかどうかは　君次第

この呼吸が起こすパワー
今こそ見せてあげよう　Oh
（スーハー　スーハー）
（スーハー　スーハー）

（パウッ！）
特別な呼吸で（Pa Pa Pa paw）
特別な酸素を（スーハー　スー）
血液が運び　肉体が躍動する（パウッ！）
エネルギーが生まれる（Pa Pa Pa paw）
その名は（スーハー　スー）
波紋エネルギー（るオオオオオオオ）

（メメタァ）
波紋の力　蛙を伝わり
この奇跡　起こした
これが波紋の力
呼吸がもたらす血液のパワー
（スーハー　スーハー）

そう　私は知ってる　表裏　この呼吸と
石仮面のこと　そして君とディオのこと
仮面は壊れてない　奴が持ってる
“石仮面の男ディオ”は今も暗闇を歩く
私は世界を旅して　仮面を追ってきた
破壊するために

（パウッ！）
戦わなければ（Pa Pa Pa paw）
破壊しなければ（スーハー　スー）
波紋をその手に　さもないと死ぬ（パウッ！）
そう　君も　世界も（Pa Pa Pa paw）
運命は動いてる（スーハー　スー）
やっと見つけた（るオオオオオオオ）

受け入れるか　この運命
すべては引き合ってる　それが
（スーハー　スーハー　スーハー）
（スーハー　コオオオオオ）
運命

Pau!
Hai no naka no kūki subete
Ichi-cc nokorazu shiboridase

Pow!
Squeeze out every last ounce
of air from your lungs!

Watashi wa Tseperi Danshaku, yūki dake ja katenai
Ishi Kamen no chikara, watashi wa mikata sa
Kimi no kokyū o ayatsuri, kimi no kokyū ga itami o keshita
Watashi wa kimi no mikata sa, Jonasan Jōsutā

I am Baron Zeppeli—courage alone won't win
against the Stone Mask's power, I am on your side
I altered your breathing, your breathing erased the pain
I am your ally, Jonathan Joestar

Hei JoJo, shitsumon wa hitotsu-zutsu ni shite kure yo
Kotae misete yarō, tsuite oide
Sasureba unmei wa kawaru
Ukeireru ka dō ka wa, kimi shidai

Hey, JoJo, one question at a time!
I'll show you the answer—follow me
If you do, your fate will change
Whether you accept it or not, that's up to you

Kono kokyū ga okosu pawā
Ima koso misete ageyō, Oh
(Sūhā, sūhā)
(Sūhā, sūhā)

The power that this breathing awakens...
I'll show it to you now! Ohhh!
(In, out! In, out!)
(In, out! In, out!)

(Pau!)
Tokubetsu na kokyū de (Pa Pa Pa paw)
Tokubetsu na sanso o (Sūhā, sū)
Ketsueki ga hakobi, nikutai ga yakudō suru (Pau!)
Enerugī ga umareru (Pa Pa Pa paw)
Sono na wa (Sūhā, sū)
Hamon enerugī (Ruoooooo)

(Pow!)
With this special breathing, (Po-po-po-pow)
the special oxygen you take in (In, out, in)
courses through your blood, invigorating your body (Pow!)
Energy is born (Po-po-po-pow)
Its name is... (In, out, in)
Ripple energy! (Ruuooooooo!)

(Memetā!)
Hamon no chikara, kawazu o tsutawari
Kono kiseki, okoshita
Kore ga hamon no chikara
Kokyū ga motarasu ketsueki no pawā
(Sūhā, sūhā)

(Memetaa!)
The Ripple's power passes through the frog,
making this miracle happen
This is the power of the Ripple
The power this breathing infuses into your blood!
(In, out! In, out!)

Sō, watashi wa shitteru, omote ura, kono kokyū to
Ishi Kamen no koto, soshite kimi to Dio no koto
Kamen wa kowarete nai, yatsu ga motteru
"Ishi Kamen no otoko Dio" wa ima mo kurayami o aruku
Watashi wa sekai o tabishite, kamen o otte kita,
hakai suru tame ni

Yes, I know it all—they're two sides of the same coin, this breathing...
And the Stone Mask... So too are you and Dio
The mask is not destroyed—he still has it
"The man of the Stone Mask, Dio" still walks in the darkness
I have traveled the world, pursuing the mask,
so that I can destroy it

(Pau!)
Tatakawanakereba, (Pa Pa Pa paw)
hakai shinakereba, (Sūhā, sū)
Hamon o sono te ni, samonai to shinu (Pau!)
Sō, kimi mo sekai mo (Pa Pa Pa paw)
Unmei wa ugoiteru (Sūhā, sū)
Yatto mitsuketa (Ruooooooo!)

(Pow!)
If you don't fight, (Po-po-po-pow)
if you don't destroy it, (In out, in)
nor wield the Ripple, then you will die! (Pow!)
Yes, you and the world alike (Po-po-po-pow)
Fate is already in motion (In out, in)
At last, I've found it! (Ruuooooooo!)

Ukeireru ka, kono unmei
Subete wa hikiau-tteru, sore ga
(Sūhā, sūhā, sūhā)
(Sūhā, kooooo)
Unmei!

Will you accept it—this fate?
Everything is drawn together... that is...
(In, out, in out, in, out)
(In, out, koooooo)
Fate!
