Taro, Ultraman number six!
Ultra no Chichi ga iru
Ultra no Haha ga iru
Soshite Taro ga koko ni iru
Sora wo miro, hoshi wo miro, uchuu wo miro!
Kanata kara semarikuru akai hi wo

Taro, Ultraman number 6!
There’s the Father of Ultra,
There’s the Mother of Ultra,
And here before us stands Taro!
Look to the sky, look to the stars, look to the cosmos!
Behold the red flame shooting towards us!
When the Earth is threatened
The badge on his arm will shine bright!
Taro takes to the skies!
Taro fights to save our lives!
Taro, Taro, Taro!
Ultraman Taro!
The Father of Ultra has come to us,
The Mother of Ultra has come to us,
And now Taro has come to save us!
What is that? Is that our enemy? What could it be?!
These mysterious invaders are attacking our home!
When he needs power to keep us safe
The badge on his arm will shine bright!
Taro takes to the skies!
Taro fights to save our lives!
Taro, Taro, Taro!
Ultraman Taro!
When the Earth is threatened
The badge on his arm will shine bright!
Taro takes to the skies!
Taro fights to save our lives!
Taro, Taro, Taro!
Ultraman Taro!
Taro takes to the skies!
Taro fights to save our lives!
Taro, Taro, Taro!
Ultraman Taro!
