Performed by Mari Keiko
Heard in Godzilla vs. Hedorah

Return the Sun! (かえせ! 太陽を,   Kaese! Taiyō o, lit. Return! The Sun) is a song performed by Keiko Mari, with lyrics by Yoshimitsu Banno and music by Riichiro Manabe. It appears as a recurring piece throughout the 1971 Template:GFilmC Godzilla vs. Hedorah. In the American version of the film (but not the international dub recorded in Hong Kong), the song was retitled "Save the Earth", with new lyrics written by Adryan Russ and Guy Hemric and performed by Russ. The male chorus consisted of Hemric, producer Don Ciminelli, and anyone else in the studio Ciminelli could find when he "patrolled the halls with a hook."[1] Russ's rendition is available as a hidden track on the CD Everyone Has a Story: The Songs of Adryan Russ.[2]

Lyrics

Japanese

水銀 コバルト カドミウム
鉛 硫酸 オキシダン
シアン マンガン バナジウム
クロム カリウム ストロンチュウム
汚れちまった海 汚れちまった空
生きもの皆 いなくなって
野も 山も 黙っちまった
地球の上に 誰も
誰もいなけりゃ 泣くこともできない
かえせ かえせ かえせ かえせ
みどりを 青空を かえせ
かえせ かえせ かえせ
青い海を かえせ かえせ かえせ
かえせ かえせ かえせ
命を 太陽を かえせ かえせ

Save the Earth

Set to the same tune as "Return the Sun!"

Animals, God's animals
Don't go away, don't go
Flowers, my flowers
Don't go away, don't go
The sea has cobalt, it's full of mercury
Too many fumes in our oxygen
All the smog now is choking you and me
Good Lord, where is it gonna end?
Got to get it back, someday
Got to get it back, and soon now
For tomorrow maybe you and me
We're movin', we're movin', movin' to the Moon now
It's up to us to make a choice
We know what it's worth to save the Earth
Come raise your voice
Save the Earth! (Save the Earth)
Save the Earth! (Save the Earth)
See the evil problem around us
Save the Earth! (Save the Earth)
Save the Earth! (Save the Earth)
And the solution: stop pollution
Save the Earth! (Save the Earth)
Save the Earth! (Save the Earth)
Save the Earth!
And the solution: to stop pollution
Save the Earth!
Save the Earth!
Save the Earth!
