Farewell, Earth, the ship that is departing is
The Space Battleship Yamato
It departs now to Iskandar,
at the end of the cosmos, bearing its fate.
"We [bad word] back, no matter what it takes"
Answer with a smile to the waving people

Going far from the Galaxy towards Iskandar
faint gleam of hope
The Space Battleship Yamato

Farewell, Earth, farewell, beloved ones
The Space Battleship Yamato
Bearing the fate of saviors of Earth
The men fight and the romance burns high
Somebody has got to do this
If we are the people they count on...

Going far from the Galaxy towards Iskandar
faint gleam of hope
The Space Battleship Yamato
