Here's a couple different versions:

フォレスタ 鉄腕アトム HD
鉄腕アトム

I always like hearing different renditions of anime and video game songs. The chorus (choruses?) in both videos nailed it.

The second one sounded like a madrigal, with the slower pace.
The first one had the normal tempo. I wish I could cut and past the words off of the Youtube screen so I could pop them into a translator (i think both versions had similar verses).

I should have heard the word kokoro in there for heart or hearted. IIRC the 'no', 'zo', and 'wo' are "connectors" between verbs and nouns, (as in English such as 'of').

If the Japanese for jet is jetto (which would be a borrowed word) then Ladd was being very tongue in cheek when he translated Cobalt to Jetto!
