[Rōmaji lyrics]
Ashita ni aogu fuji ga ne ya
Misatoshi hita ni kashikomite
Chikai mo kataku iki takaku
Bunbu no michi ni kitaenasu
Warera wa shōnen senshahei

Seisen banri yuku tokoro
Takanaru mune ya yamatodama
Sakite wa sakura koreba tetsu
Hyakuren no kō iwa o tatsu
Warera wa shōnen senshahei

Hitotabi tateba chi mo ugoke
Kagayaku rekishi sensha-dama
Otakebi hoete nan ni yuku
Retsuretsu no chi o uketsugan
Warera wa shōnen senshahei

Amatsuhi takaku teru tokoro
Miitsu no hikari orogamite
Senjin no hana towa no hae
Iza gunshin ni tsuzukanan
Warera wa shōnen senshahei

[Japanese lyrics]
朝に仰ぐ富士が嶺や
御諭ひたに畏みて
誓いも堅く意気高く
文武の道に鍛えなす
我等は少年戦車兵

聖戦万里行くところ
高鳴る胸や大和魂
咲きては桜 凝れば鉄
百錬の勲 岩を断つ
我等は少年戦車兵

一度起てば地も動け
輝く歴史 戦車魂
雄叫び吼えて難に赴く
烈々の血を承け継がん
我等は少年戦車兵

天津日高く照るところ
御稜威の光拝みて
戦陣の華 永遠の栄え
いざ軍神に続かなん
我等は少年戦車兵
