The following translations of Yamato songs were originally published on Space Webzine Yamato<\/em>, the first all-Yamato<\/em> website and the progenitor of Cosmo DNA<\/em>. The editor and translator was Jerry Fellows.<\/p>\n Since there is more than one way to translate Japanese, particularly in the realm of poetry and song lyrics, these should be considered no less legitimate than the translations featured on Cosmo DNA, and they are presented to inspire further thought.<\/p>\n opening theme<\/p><\/div>\n Farewell Earth, the ship we leave in is Farewell Earth, and the people we love\u2028 saraba chikyuu yo tabidatsu fune wa saraba chikyuu yo aisuru hito yo\u2028 first series ending theme<\/p><\/div>\n See that girl with the scarlet scarf\u2028 I will surely return to the scarlet scarf\u2028 ano ko ga futte ita makkana sukafu kanarazu kaeru kara makkana sukafu image song from Farewell to Yamato<\/em><\/div>\n Two men bound together\u2028 Our meeting has added\u2028 otoko to otoko ni tsukimatou\u2028 omae to ore to ga deau no wa ending song from Farewell to Yamato<\/em><\/div>\n If she is more gentle than a flower Some day a song will return to her lips\u2028 sono hito no yasashisa ga hana ni masaru nara\u2028 itsu no hika kuchibiru ni uta ga yomigaeri ending song from Yamato 2<\/em><\/div>\n Teresa – On the other side of the stars\u2028 Teresa – A voice calls from somewhere far off Teresa hoshi no kanata ni anata wa iru to Teresa dokoka tookude yonderu koe ga\u2028 launch song from The New Voyage<\/em><\/div>\n This rare moment when all is green and shining on Earth \u2028Remember Yamato \u2028Too many stars in the Galaxy are stained scarlet\u2028 As your ship drifts through space\u2028 \u2028Remember Yamato \u2028A lovely person waits willingly chikyuu wa itsushika tatakai wasure\u2028 \u2028Remember Yamato\u2028 \u2028ginga ni akai hoshi ga sugete chikyuu wa uchuu o tadayou fune to \u2028Remember Yamato\u2028 \u2028itoshii hito yo matsu ga ii\u2028 ending song from Yamato III<\/em><\/div>\n When one person’s tear\u2028 Yamato, in you\u2028 When the song one person sings out Yamato, in you\u2028 hitori ga otoshi ta namida hitotsu\u2028 yamato yo kimi hitori ga koboshi ta utagoe ga\u2028 yamato yo kimiSpace Battleship Yamato<\/h3>\n
