I always liked this song even when I was 5-6 years old. I never understood the lyrics until I was 28-29 when there was access to the Internet and the lyrics could be translated. My friend J.C. said that some of the Japanese in Voltes V was so complicated that it's very hard to translate for the 21st Century generation. I could play this song again and again if not for the fact it would drive my housemates NUTS! The refrain/chorus reminds me of someone flying .... Excellent song for people looking for a way back to the Father!

WARNING: Listening to this can bring NOSTALGIC tears to your eyes.... REALLY!

Anyway here's the Romanji:

Oya ni hagureta
hinadori mo
Itsuka wa yasashii
hutokoro ni
Kaeru ashita mo aru darou
Danoni naze meguri aenu
chichi no kage
Naku mono ka
Boku wa otoko da
Shinjiteru shinjiteru
Sono hi no koto wo
Kono te de chichi wo
Daki shimeru hi no koto wo



No ni saku hana mo
tsuyukusa mo
Itsuka wa hito to
meguri ai
Kataru yuube mo aru darou
Danoni naze otozurenai
shiawase ga

Naku mono ka
Boku wa otoko da
Taetematsu taetematsu
Sono hi wa kuru to
Te wo tori chichi to
Warai au hi ga kuru to



Mikazuki wo ou
murakumo mo
Itsuka wa kaze ga
huki harai
Kagayaku yoru mo aru darou
Danoni naze kiramekanai
chichi no hoshi

Naku mono ka
Boku wa otoko da
Tatakau zo tatakau zo
Sono hi no tame ni
Kono te ni chichi wo
Tori modosu hi no tame ni

and here's the English Translation:

Even a chick that got lost
from its parents
has a tomorrow
to return someday
to the tender breast again
But why couldn't I find
my father's figure?
I won't cry
I'm a man
I believe, I believe
in the day
I will hold
my father in my arms.



Even flowers
and spiderworts
that grow in the field
will someday find someone
to have an evening together
But why doesn't happiness
come to see me?

I won't cry
I'm a man
I'll endure , I'll endure
and wait for the day
I will hold my father's hands
and laugh together with him



The gathering clouds
that cover the crescent moon
Will someday by the wind
be blown away
and a shining night will come
But why doesn't
my father's star sparkle?

I won't cry
I'm a man
I will fight, I will fight
for the day
I get my father back
with my own hands
