Bruco Gianluco [English translation]

One, two, three, four, hi, caterpillar!

Ha!

Where could you be?

In China, in Africa or maybe in Thai-

Land, we'll never know

You're a true joker, all right

You don't know it

But your power is greater than ever

And you'll find that out

With all the enemies you'll face

For example that old lady over there

Or maybe the famous caterpillar-eater

Or a wizard, or Hitler, or a hundred pelicans,

Or Hitler in command of an army of pelicans

Caterpillar John Luke, how cool you are

When Hiroshi calls, you immediately come

With initiative you'll fight

You'll take us towards a more glorious present

The dark daemons you'll defeat

With your magic caterpillar powers

Caterpillar John Luke, how funny you are

I can't believe I have you as a friend

Caterpillar of the seven souls

You've got seven powers

And you can surely list them

Super-strength, flight, visibility, fire rays, ice rays, bike spokes1

Power of love

You'll go back

To your planet, you surely know that

You'll find the seven souls

Your family, oh, you'll save

Your strength is much

But who knows if it's going to be enough

Luckily some are already

A part of your super gang

Hiroshi, Tanaka, Yukiko, Shizue, Sasuke, Sasuke

They've got the same name, but they're two

Caterpillar John Luke, how strong you are

When the destiny calls, you beat it down

Maybe you'll discover many more powers

Like reading marmots' minds

Everyone has a power in your super gang

Together you make the giant megarobot

You fight the evil, you chase away the bad gang

With you the future is a dazzling star

You will manage to

Remember your past

You will love

Because you've never forgotten

Far, far away

In your Christmas planet2 out there

There's your love

And he'll always be waiting with a pear

Caterpillar of the seven souls

Caterpillar John Luke, how cool you are

The Earth withnodoubtly3 counts on you

The seven devils you will fight

The shiny souls you will certainly extract

In a hundred countries, so many journeys you'll take

With your super gang of carefree friends

A thousand thousand challenges you will be able to win

Thanks to your ultra-magic plunger

My amazing friend, luckily you're here

I'm happy I can have you by my side

Caterpillar John Luke, you're all of us

Your name's John Luke, it isn't John Frank

1. In Italian "bike spokes" is literally "bike rays"2. A literal translation of the Italian "pianeta natale", which also means "native planet"3. Doubtlessly; it's expressed weirdly in Italian, too
