"Sugar Rush" is one of the three theme songs of Disney's 2012 animated feature film Wreck-It Ralph. It is played when Ralph first enters the game of the same name, and later on during the end credits. The song is performed by the popular all female J-pop group, AKB48,[1] and ergo, the majority of the lyrics are in Japanese. On March 25, 2014, Thalía released her first children's album "VIVA KIDS, Vol. 1"[2] (Viva Kids, Volumen Uno) which features a cover of Sugar Rush.[3] Thalía then later released a music video for her version of Sugar Rush featuring animated children in a candy/dessert/etc. themed land on her YouTube channel on May 8, 2014.[4]

Donna michi datte, massugu janai darou? (Whatever the road, it's not straight, is it?)
Sou magarikunette, dekoboko shiteru hazu sa (It's going to be so winding, and it's suppose to be bumpy)
Tsurai koto toki ni wa aru yo ne, bokutachi wa soredemo hashiruyo (It's hard sometimes isn't it? We'll still run)
Amai mono demo ikaga? (Would you like something sweet?)

Translation by Rachel Gravelle (rockleetist) via SoundCloud.[5]
Every road that leads you, every single turn that you can make
May not always be perfect, winds you up - spins you out
You can't catch a break
And maybe sometimes life's not what you wanted and
Track is rough and the road goes on for miles ahead
When your thoughts turn sour make them sweet instead?
S-U-G-A-R, Jump into your racing car
Say Sugar Rush! Sugar Rush! (Hey!)
S-U-G-A-R, Jump into your racing car
Say Sugar Rush! Sugar Rush! (Hey!)
Everybody has a bad day, every racer has a day when they lose the race
Close your eyes - it's getting better, don't let go of your dream of winning first place
And maybe sometimes our engine stalls a little while
It won't stop you from crossing the line up ahead
When your thoughts turn sour make them sweet instead?
S-U-G-A-R, Jump into your racing car
Say Sugar Rush! Sugar Rush! (Hey!)
S-U-G-A-R, Jump into your racing car
Say Sugar Rush! Sugar Rush! (Hey!)
Come down the highway drift around the corner
On an open road, keep it forward - pedal to the metal! Wow, wow, wow!
S-U-G-A-R, Jump into your racing car
Say Sugar Rush! Sugar Rush!
S-U-G-A-R, Jump into your racing car
Say Sugar Rush! Sugar Rush! (Hey!)
S-U-G-A-R, Jump into your racing car
Say Sugar Rush! Sugar Rush! (Hey!)
S-U-G-A-R, Jump into your racing car
Say Sugar Rush! Sugar Rush! (Hey!)
S-U-G-A-R, Jump into your racing car
Say Sugar Rush! Sugar Rush! (Hey!)
S-U-G-A-R, Jump into your racing car
Say Sugar Rush! Sugar Rush!
