Cover versions

There are a total of 17 different official language covers of the song used in Dragon Ball GT.

There are 2 known English versions. Vic Mignogna sang a version of the song used for the FUNimation English dub release of Dragon Ball GT when FUNimation released a remastered version of the series with the original Japanese soundtrack intact. The lyrics are very faithful to the Japanese version. The Blue Water dub (an English dub of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball GT only aired in the UK, Canada and the Netherlands) used a shorter version of this song with completely different lyrics compared to the original Japanese version. It's believed to have been sang by Adam Hunter, a voice actor for Blue Water Studios.

There a 3 Spanish versions, only 2 of which were used in their respective dubs. Mexico received a version titled "Mi Corazón Encantado," (My Charmed Heart) sung by Aaron Montalvo. In 2018, the song was made into a full-length version released to a digital album by Aaron Montalvo himself. There's also a Spain/Castilian version titled "Ven, Ven Lejos De Los Malos Sueños" (Come, Come Escape the Bad Dreams) or simply just "Ven, Ven" (Come, Come). It was sung by Momo Cortés. A full-length version does exist. The last Spanish cover was never used in any official dub and was only released on CD in Chile. It's titled "Poco a Poco, me Cautiva Tu Sonrisa" (Little by Little, Your Smile Captivates Me) and was sung by Álvaro Véliz.
