Original Japanese Lyrics	Japanese Transliterationhttp://www.virtual-rotation.com/chirlind/others/sentai/3ultrakaette.html	English Translation
君にも　見える　ウルトラの星
遠く　離れて　地球に一人
怪獣退治に　使命をかけて
燃える街に　あとわずか
轟く叫びを　耳にして
帰ってきたぞ 帰ってきたぞ 
ウルトラマン
十字を 組んで 狙った敵は
必殺技の 贈り物
大地を飛んで 流星パンチ
近くにたって ウルトラチョップ
凶悪怪獣 倒すため
帰ってきたぞ 帰ってきたぞ
ウルトラマン
炎の中に 崩れる怪獣
戦い済んで 朝が来る
はるか彼方に 輝く星は
あれが あれが 故郷だ
正義と平和を 守るため
帰ってきたぞ 帰ってきたぞ
ウルトラマン	
Kimi ni mo mieru Ultra no hoshi
Tooku hanarete chikyuu ni hitori
Kaijuu taiji ni shimei wo kakete
Moeru machi ni ato wazuka
Todoroku sakebi wo mimi ni shite
Kaette kita zo kaette kita zo
Ultraman
Juuji wo kunde neratta teki wa
Hissatsuwaza no okurimono
Daichi wo tonde ryuusei panchi
Chikaku ni tatte Ultra Chop
Kyouaku kaijuu taosu tame
Kaette kita zo kaette kita zo
Ultraman
Honoo no naka ni kuzureru kaijuu
Tatakai sunde asa ga kuru
Haruka kanata ni kagayaku hoshi wa
Are ga are ga furusato da
Seigi to heiwa wo mamoru tame
Kaette kita zo kaette kita zo
Ultraman	
You, too, see it...the Ultra Star
Far away from the earth alone
On a mission to destroy monsters
After burning a city a little later
Listen to that roaring cry
He has returned, he has returned
Ultraman
The enemies aiming at the crosses
Are gifted with finishing blows
A Meteor Punch flying over the ground
An Ultra Chop for standing close
To defeat the heinous monsters
He has returned, he has returned
Ultraman
A monster collapsed in flames
The morning comes after the fight
That shining star from far away
That is, that is, his hometown
To protect justice and peace
He has returned, he has returned
Ultraman
