Did you ever want to hear some Sonic songs in a non-English language? Well, a few talanted Russian fans translated and recorded them. Here you go: I contributed to this one as an editor of the translation. And stay tuned, for there are more songs to come out in the future, as our team is working hard on a few right now.
I wish someone talented would tackle some japanese songs I like, yeesh. But these are awesome though.
More Russian covers. This time from Sonic '06 and cartoons. Sonic OVA - Look-a-like Sonic X - Shining Road

His World Go ahead, light it up, Like a rocket he really wants to fly. The final countdown has already begun, and he's ready to wreck everything. He hears the sound of power, Which plays in the stereo (reo!), While momentarily kicking a butt, he will start up a show! Faster, contain your spirit, don't waste time, And if you make it in time, accept the challenge. He's a fast runner, his world is a wonderful land, And if you want to take him up in a fight, do win it! Remember this forever: win it! In that world (his one!), Where the life is active, In that world (his one!) The path is always open. In that world (his one!) You shouldn't go on a compromise, In that big world Every step is a risk. In that world (his one!), Where everybody is a god, In that world (his one!) I managed to scare off the fear. In that world (his one!) You shouldn't go on a compromise, In that big world Every step is a risk. He quickly goes back, so, what is awaiting him? From a ten knocking off ten, he will beat the record. Freedom while on spikes, and belted sneakers, Because he's the best in the world, have you heard it in the news? Challenge him up in intergalactic races, And hyperactively play a tune on a stringed instrument with him, He has acknowledged the change of the flows, do know this well! He will bring down any door, just don't bother him! Keep your mood up towards success, because it's time to play, Jump around because of rhythms and rhymes, since you can't make them go away, He will burn the day with a running competition, Witty, lively, don't try to hold him down! This world can pressure you everywhere, So take action as soon as possible, if you want to live! And to change everything you will have to win. Go ahead, don't settle, it's time to challenge! Don't you settle, rock 'n' roll will happen! In this world (his one!), (You should find your way soon) Where the life is active, In that world (his one!) (Complete your life like it's a game) The path is always open. In that world (his one!) (Don't await the state of permanency here) Don't go on a compromise, In that big world Every step is a risk. In that world (his one!), Where everybody is a god, In that world (his one!) I managed to scare off the fear. In that world (his one!) You shouldn't go on a compromise, In that big world Every step is a risk. –guitar solo– Start firing up the rocket, he can't wait to fly.

Every night I will keep saving your life, And every night I will be with you, Because every night I can't fall asleep And I'm only asking for forgiveness.
