I watched this cartoon of the 90's and enjoyed it back then. I remember that is has a nice theme song as well. It didn't take me long to find this video on YouTube but it was hell difficult to find the lyrics to the song.
After many Google searches, I gave up and decided to decipher the lyrics myself. However, there are some parts of the song where I couldn't figure out the words.
Finally I got a clue from the tags of the YouTube video and realised that part of the lyrics were actually the names of the Sky Dancer themselves! Too bad there is still one sentence that I still can't make out. I'll leave it for now till I figure it out later (found that out thanks to a reader's comments!).
Song Lyrics:
Way up in the sky, there are creatures that fly
Way up high, sky high!
The Skydancers arrive, the Skydancers arrive!
Jade, Carmille, Angelica,
Slam and Breeze!
When Queen Skyla calls,
They just magically transform
Into savers of the sky!
The Sky Dancers arrive, the Sky Dancers arrive!
Jade, Carmille, Angelica,
Slam and Breeze!
Sky Dancers!
Song Lyrics:
Jump in the ring,
When destiny calls.
Together as friends,
We’ll get through it all.
Princess Gwenevere & the Jewel Riders!
The sun & the moon,
Will show us the way.
With love in your heart,
Come join us today
Princess Gwenevere & the Jewel Riders!
Jewel Power, we got it,
Jewel Power!
A circle is growing,
We’re ready and strong.
Together as one,
That’s where it belongs,
Feel the magic of the Jewel Riders!
Jewel Power,
Jewel Power,
Jewel Power!
Ahhh….
Princess Gwenevere & the Jewel Riders!
Romanised Japanese Song Lyrics with English Translations:
Mezamashi ni okosare sukejuuru wo konashi
Toki ni egao tsukuri nokoru wadakamari
Wake up, get up, check the schedule
Sometimes brings a smile and good feeling
Koi mo yume mo tetsugaku de itsu mo kotae wa nai kedo
Koin hajiku you ni arukidasou
Love or dreams or logic never have the answers
So let's just walk as if flipping a coin
Nanka shiawase Chotto shiawase
Kanjiru toki koso shiawase no hajimari
Nanka yukesou Umaku yukesou
Fumidasu ippo de subete kaete yukeru ne
A kind of happiness, a brief happiness
When it is felt, that's the start of happiness
Kind of moving, Born for moving
The first step makes everything move again

Song Lyrics:
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.
