It is time to go, we know
From the Earth that we love so
Man, the cruiser which is called Yamato
Speeding onward toward the light
For the shores of Iscandar
We will save Earth by our might
And make the future bright
We’ll return another day
Oh we cannot stay away
From the friends we left behind
From the race of humankind
Leaving now the Milky Way
Marching on toward Iscandar
Save the Earth from each dreaded foe
Men of Space Cruiser Yamato
It is time to go, we know
From the Earth that we love so
Man, the cruiser which is called Yamato
Flying in the stars above
Fighting for the Earth we love
Speeding onward, roaring by
We will return by and by
But for now we must remain
We must fight, endure the pain
For the hopes of those we love
Are with Earth as we fly above
Leaving now the Milky Way
Marching on toward Iscandar
Save the Earth from each dreaded foe
Men of Space Cruiser Yamato
