Translation

One morning, I got bedside present
"Mom! What story are you going tell today?"
A story of a boy who dreamed of space

One night, the boy went into space
And said goodbye to his girlfriend
He needed to go for the sake of mankind

Astronauts, I'm thinking of you
When I remember the past
How far can I go?
Past the solar system

Seems like we've come a long way
Dad, are you doing well?
Even though our communications are cut off
I still talk to you

How long has it been since we left Earth?
I'm the same age as my dad now
I'm scared of this future that's different from what I imagined

Astronauts, I'm thinking of you
When I remember the past
Will we meet on the other side?
Past the Milky Way

Everyone's scared
Of places with no people
And I wander
I want to see you again

Astronauts, I'm thinking of you
When I remember the past
I don't want to go anywhere
I just want to see you

Astronauts
I return to those times when I was with you
I'll probably travel anywhere
To come back to you

Romaji

Ano asa makuramoto puresento
「Mama! Kore wa donna ohanashi?」
Uchū wo yumemita shōnen no ohanashi

Ano yoru sono shōnen wa uchū e to
Kanojo ni wakare o tsuge
Jinrui no tame ni yūkan ni tobitatta

Asutoronōtsu anata o omotte
Anokoro no omoide o motte
Dokomade ikeru deshou?
Taiyōkei o koeta koro

Zuibun tōku made kita yōda
Papa genki ni shiteimasuka?
Kōshin wa todae katarikakeru hibi

Chikyū o tobidashite kara ima nannen?
Papa to onaji toshi dayo
Sōzō to chigau mirai da kowai na

Asutoronōtsu anata o omotte
Anokoro no omoide o motte
Kanata de aeru deshou
Gingakei o koeta koro

Daremoga mina kowainda
Daremoinai basho ga
Soshitesa mayou
Mata aitaitte sa

Asutoronōtsu anata o omotte
Anogoro no omoide o motte
Dokomademo ikenai yo
Kimi ni aitai

Asutoronōtsu anata o omotte
Anokoro no bokura ni modotte
Dokomademo ikeru darou
Kimi no moto e kaeru tabi

Original lyrics

ある朝　枕元　プレゼント
「ママ！これはどんなお話？」
宇宙を夢見た少年のお話

ある夜　その少年は宇宙へと
彼女に別れを告げ
人類のために勇敢に飛び立った

アストロノーツ　あなたを想って
あの頃の思い出を持って
どこまで行けるでしょう？
太陽系を超えた頃

随分遠くまで来たようだ
パパ　元気にしていますか？
交信は途絶え語り掛ける日々

地球を飛び出してから今何年？
パパと同じ歳だよ
想像と違う未来だ　怖いな

アストロノーツ　あなたを想って
あの頃の思い出を持って
彼方で会えるでしょう
銀河系を超えた頃

誰もが皆怖いんだ
誰も居ない場所が
そしてさ迷う
また会いたいってさ

アストロノーツ　あなたを想って
あの頃の思い出を持って
どこまでも行けないよ
君に会いたい

アストロノーツ　あなたを想って
あの頃の僕らに戻って
どこまでも行けるだろう
君の元へ帰る旅
