Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Heroes in a half shell, Turtle power!
They're the world's most fearsome fighting team, (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, we're really hip!) They're heroes in a half shell and they're green! (hey get a grip!) When the evil Shredder attacks, These turtle boys don't cut 'em no slack!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Splinter taught them to be ninja team, (he's a radical rat!) Leonardo leads, Donatello does machines. (that's a fact jack!) Rapheal is cool but brilliant, Rapheal: (give me a break!) Michaelangelo is a party dude. Michaelangelo: (party!)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Heroes in a half shell, Turtle power!
Song lyrics: Once upon a dream I think I lived inside a fairy tale. When someone great was lost, when some dark void was crossed, And I was tossed in my sleep.
And did I see a magic horse called Wildfire, or was just a dream? Wildfire, Wildfire!
Deep within my mind, so tell what I find or what I might become, If I could go where the dreams come from, If I could go when the dreams would run wild,
Wildfire, Wildfire!
Cool, I’m so happy to finally locate a YouTube video of this great 80’s cartoon, “Wildfire”. In Singapore, it was only shown on Malaysian TV3 which was not available to every Singaporean household. However I was lucky enough to have that channel during my childhood and I caught this cartoon while it was showing back then. It was also one of the earliest times I was exposed to the theme of “death” in a cartoon.
I loved horses since I was a child but as I got older, I found the My Little Pony cartoons too geared towards a younger audience to really enjoy them. Then “Wildfire” came along and I enjoyed it. Too bad it only lasted one season. It was only years later that I found this “Wildfire” website where I got to refresh my memory of this magical horse cartoon.
From my hazy memory without referring to online research, this is what I recall about “Wildfire”:
“There was magical kingdom called Darshan in another dimension where the horses were very colorful and they could talk. Darshan was ruled by a queen who was cursed by her evil step/half sister (who wanted the throne) soon after the former married.
One year later after the queen gave birth to a princess, she died from the curse. Before she passed on, the queen instructed her trusted steed, Wildfire to take the baby princess to her father on earth. Apparently the father didn’t remember his past either (due to some circumstances) but he adopted and raised the baby princess till she was about 10 years old.
Then one day, Wildfire appeared to the young princess from the magic portal in the sky and told her about her identity. From then on whenever Darshan was in trouble stirred up by the princess’ evil aunt, Wildfire would indicate his intention to come and fetch the princess from earth whenever her horse amulet glowed. Together with their allies in Darshan, Wildfire and the princess would defeat her evil aunt and her minions over and over again in every episode…”
Here’s the most detailed website I can find so far that is dedicated to “Wildfire”. I think this is a cartoon series that appeals mostly to viewers who love horses and things magical.
I have never heard of the My Little Pony theme song in other languages other than in English. I know that many other cartoons such as JEM, have their theme songs dubbed into many international languages and I have heard most of them. However I did not think of listening to those of My Little Pony.
This video shows a montage of “Rescue At Midnight Castle” to the Italian theme song. This song uses a tune that is totally different from the English versions that I am so used to. I absolutely love this Italian version as it has such a happy and catchy beat to it. It definitely cheers me up whenever I listen to it.
The English meanings to the Italian lyrics are literal translations done by a MLP fan. I don't have the translations for the second verse. If you understand Italian, I'll appreciate if you could help in the translations of those lyrics and go through the rest of the translations if required, thank you! Enjoy the song and video!
Song Lyrics:
Tu voli in alto lassù (You fly so high up there) Dove il cielo è più blu(Where the sky is so blue) Dolce mio mini pony. (My sweet little pony) E poi planare saprai (And then you glide down) Più leggero che mai (Lighter than ever) Là dove tu vorrai. (Wherever you want)
Voli con agilità (Flights with agility) Per il cielo azzurro vai (For the blue sky you go) Porti la felicità ovunaue arriverai (You carry happiness everywhere you go)
Vola mio mini pony (Fly, My Little Pony) Vola mio mini pony vai (Fly, My Little Pony, Go!) Vola mio mini pony (Fly, My Little Pony) Quante avventure tu vavrai (How many adventures you will live)
Vola mio mini pony (Fly, My Little Pony) Vola mio mini pony vai (Fly, My Little Pony, Go!) Vola mio mini pony (Fly, My Little Pony) Quante avventure tu vavrai (How many adventures you will live)
E nei miei sogni lo sai, Tu da me arriverai
Dolce mio mini Pony.(My sweet little pony) Io già ti vedo lassù Dove il cielo è più blu
Adesso arrivi tu.
Voli con agilità (Flights with agility) Per il cielo azzurro vai (For the blue sky you go) Porti la felicità ovunaue arriverai (You carry happiness everywhere you go)
Vola mio mini pony (Fly, My Little Pony) Vola mio mini pony vai (Fly, My Little Pony, Go!) Vola mio mini pony (Fly, My Little Pony) Quante avventure tu vavrai (How many adventures you will live)
Vola, (Fly!) Vola, vola! (Fly, fly!)
Vola mio mini pony (Fly, My Little Pony) Vola mio mini pony vai (Fly, My Little Pony, Go!) Vola mio mini pony (Fly, My Little Pony) Quante avventure tu vavrai (How many adventures you will live)
