Here are the requested Star Blazers lyrics. When the show was translated, American words were written for the opening theme music, with some changes to the music to make the words fit. I don't think it is a translation or even a paraphrase of the original Japanese lyrics (someone will correct me if I'm wrong), since the song there was the same for each season of the show. The original show also used different songs over the end credits while the American version just uses another set of words to the opening theme music. first 26 parts- second 26 parts- We're off to outer space, We're leaving mother earth To save the human race, Our Star Blazers. Searching for a distant star, A cry for help, a distant plight, Heading off to Iskandar, Makes the Star Force reunite. Leaving all we love behind, As we rush to meet our fates, Who knows what dangers we'll find? The Comet Empire awaits. We must be strong and brave. We must be strong and brave. Our home we've got to save. To stop its evil ways. If we don't, in just one year, If Zordar's plot should work, Mother earth will disappear. He'll destroy the universe. Fighting with the Gamilons, We'll fight the Comet Empire We won't stop until we've won. Battle through the raging fire, Then we'll return Filled with the hope and when we arrive that earth will survive The earth will survive with And keep peace alive for Our Star Blazers. Our Star Blazers. Closing for both seasons: We're off to outer space, Protecting mother earth, To save the human race, Our Star Blazers. Danger lurking everywhere, But we know we've got to care. Evil men with evil schemes, They can't destroy all our dreams. We must be strong and brave. Our home we've got to save. We must make the fighting cease, So mother earth will be at peace. Through all the fire and the smoke We will never give up hope. If we can win the earth will survive And keep peace alive with Our Star Blazers. ------------------------------------------------------------ This should be my last posting before WorldCon. If any of you Star Blazers fans will be there, look for me in the Japanese video room or the C/FO suite at the Hyatt Regency. Mary Anne Espenshade ...!umcp-cs!aplvax!mae
