Sāchiraito no me mo
Rezā burasuto no te mo
Nanatsu no chikara da Wawwawawawa

Heiwa no tame ni tatakau zo

Sā min'na de ikkō yo!

Mirai no tame ni tatakau zo
Sā min'na de ikkō yo!

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.
