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:

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

I don't know about obvious mistakes, a few subtle ones perhaps.

Sorry, I mean obvious as in wrong number of syllables, as opposed to decyphering the actual words. Even with the clearest recordings I can't make out some of them.

Good to hear from you again in your forums, btw, it's been ages! Do you plan to make any changes to the site for the new series?

Soaring high in the skies
searching out for some way to die
Astroboy, Astroboy
he only wins by pure luck or chance
Smaller than all the rest
Somehow he's still a [b]realy big
pest
We all hate him
The humans love him
their little puppet, Astroboy

When you need someone strong
The Puppet boy he's there before long
Astroboy, Mega*cough*man
He will try to right any wrong
When there's danger nearby
No matter who, what, where, when or why
He’ll try to reason
He'll try to change us
But well always hate Astroboy!!!! [/b]

You spelt "really" wrong.

:huh: :unsure: Wasn't that meant to be placed in another forum? Perhaps the 'Anti-Astroboy-Forum ;) ?
Don't withhold the negative version of the ending theme from us, dragon_child888 :D .

I thought perhaps it may have been 'raining down with love for all'

That makes more sense but I can't hear anything like the word "down" in it. It actually sounds more like "ringing up with love" to me, but that can't be right!

Someone else have a listen. My brain is getting numb to the sounds.
