Music: Tatsuo Takai (高井 達雄)
Lyrics: Shuntarō Tanigawa (谷川 俊太郎)

Sora wo koete Ra-ra-ra
Hoshi no kanata
Yuku zo Atomu
Jetto no kagiri
Kokoro yasashi Ra-ra-ra
Kagaku no ko
Jūman bariki da
Tetsuwan Atomu

Mimi wo sumase Ra-ra-ra
Me wo mihare
Sō da Atomu
Yudan wo suru na
Kokoro tadashi Ra-ra-ra
Kagaku no ko
Nanatsu no iryoku sa
Tetsuwan Atomu

Machikado ni Ra-ra-ra
Umi no soko ni
Kyō mo Atomu
Ningen mamotte
Kokoro hazumu Ra-ra-ra
Kagaku no ko
Min'na no tomodachi
Tetsuwan Atomu

There you go, Astro Boy,
On your flight into space
Rocket high, through the sky
For adventures soon you will face!

Astro Boy bombs away,
On your mission today,
Here's the countdown,
And the blastoff,
Everything is go Astro Boy!

Astro Boy, as you fly,
Strange new worlds you will spy,
Atom celled, jet propelled,
Fighting monsters high in the sky!

Astro Boy, there you go,
Will you find friend or foe?
Cosmic Ranger, laugh at danger,
Everything is go Astro Boy!

Crowds will cheer you, you're a hero,
As you go, go, go Astro Boy!

Soaring high in the sky,
He may be small but only in size.

He is brave and gentle and wise!

Stronger than all the rest,
This mighty robot will pass the test,
Oh villains fear him, so we cheer him,
The amazing Astro Boy!

When you need someone strong,
Our robot friend he's there before long.
Astro Boy, Astro Boy,
He will try to right any wrong!

When there's danger nearby,
No matter who, what, where, when, or why.
He will defend us, he'll defend us,
The amazing Astro Boy!

Come and join us in a melody,
A song of happiness for you and me.
Sing of joy, sing about a boy,
Little hero, Astro Boy!

Come and join us in a fantasy,
We can all be heroes, you and me.
Sing of joy, sing about a boy,
Little hero, Astro Boy!

Lighting up the way for all,
For soon he will fight for right,
Strong as steel and with a heart of gold.

Sing of glory,
Pour your heart our,
Your voices will be heard,
And it's raining out with love for all.
