I just listened to your link, and it's really hard to tell what exactly they're singing at the end. Actually there are a bunch of similar sounding words that could fit in that last verse.

Another possible word combination could be:

And it's bringing on with love for all

raining/bringing/ringing.... it's really hard to say.
The singers should've pronounced the consonants a little better.

It's really funny!!!

I always have some difficulties to understand english 'cause it's not my first language.

There are many people here who are better than me with english and many for which english is their first language... and you are unable to know what the singers really say... Well, I'm not surprised to be unable to understand too...

When I watch the '80 serie, I understand very well.
But when I watch the new serie, it's sometimes really hard for me too understand. I don't really know why... They are talking too quickly and/or the pronounciation is bad...
I also think that the many voice is bad. I mean, they couldn't be actor. Especially for the one who make voice of Astro. The voice of Atlas is Ok...

Shocking isn't it ... they don't even sing the words at the same time. When this happened in primary school sing-along, I remember it resulting in sounds that were nothing like the intended words.

Yeah, same for me.
IMO, if english dubbed series are shown internationally, then the voice actors should lay more worth on how they pronounce the words. The biggest problem are the consonants which are going to sound weak very easily sometimes.
You just can't expect ev'rybody to understand english dialect or slang words perfectly, ie.
in England where are some dialects around which really gave foreign people a hard time to understand them.
Though beautiful accents for the most part, but eventually to know what their words mean seems to me more important.

It actually sounds more like "ringing up with love" to me, but that can't be right!

Or ringing out...........that would make sense <_<

The English 80s dub seems to be the one most people have trouble with. At least, every version I've seen on web sites (including this one) or in magazines has obvious mistakes. This is my take on it:

[b]Opening Lyrics

Soaring high in the skies
He may be small but only in size
Astroboy, Astroboy
He is brave and gentle and wise
Stronger than all the rest
This mighty robot will pass the test
All villans fear him
So we cheer him
The amazing Astroboy

When you need someone strong
Our robot friend he's there before long *
Astroboy, Astroboy
He will try to right any wrong
When there's danger nearby
No matter who, what, where, when or why
He will defend us
He'll befriend us
The amazing Astroboy

* or "Our robot friend is there before long"

Closing Lyrics

Come and join us in our melody
A song of happiness for you and me
Sing of joy, sing about a boy
Little hero Astroboy

Come and join us in our fantasy
We can all be heroes, you and me
Sing of joy, sing about a boy
Little hero Astroboy

Lighting up the way for life *
He'll soon be in the fight for right *
Strong as steel and with a heart of go-o-o-o-old
Sing of love will all your heart *
Your voices will be heard
And it's raining out with love for all *

* not sure[/b]
