This page is just me making fun of Nadia, and by extension all other anime, because of the incomprehensible song lyrics the series posesses. Now, of course, I understand this is due to translation quirks. Unlike the main dialogue of a series, music lyrics can't always be localized in such a way as they make sense. But sometimes the end result is just downright laughable. In my opinion, a series could do better with either creating an entirely new theme song, or at least leaving the old one untranslated. There's a certain mystique about foreign lyrics, I think, that would work for an anime series (especially one like Nadia) better than streams of randomly thrown together words. Still, all commentary aside, I watched 975 minutes of Nadia and, confound it, I want to make fun of it some more. So allow me my eccentricities and let's get on with the show! Opening Theme Song
Man, that's a bright future there, boy. That'll save me money on flashlights.
I'm sure the blue sky will be happy to hear that, but I don't know what this has to do with being timid.
That way you can dream about flying, right?
Ouch! That really sounds painful. I think that might require coronary bypass surgery.
Yeah, but how can you hear it? I mean, it's in your ribcage. Do you plug the headphones into your belly button or something?
Only if you shout them really loud.
I really want to mock this part, but to do that I'd have to at least have a passing idea what it means.
Jewels actually aren't all that great as a light source, although I'm sure they sparkle quite prettily in the light of my "bright future". Ending Credits Song
Your heart is probably impatient about having a music box stuck in there. Go see a doctor.
Better focus on those short-term ones then. Like flying.
Oh no! You didn't betray it did you!?
Between love, this jewel, and the bright future in my eyes I think we're covered on the whole light thing.
Um, okay, I'll try some not-so-comforting ones then.
Yeah, I can see 'em from two blocks away. I'm telling you, go see a doctor.
Not entirely accurate... but left on your own you'll eventually die from internal bleeding caused by a music box lodged in your heart, so at least I'll stop having to listen to you whine about it.
If you manage to get lost even while toting all that light around, I doubt tomorrow will do you much good. Okay, okay, this whole page is a bit mean-spirited and, obviously, it's not fair to use Nadia as a benchmark for all anime opening lyrics. But c'mon, I just watched 16 hours of this tripe, and I still need a way to vent. Just to show I'm not all that bad a guy, here are the mp3 downloads. The songs aren't really bad in and of themselves, it's just the lyrics that are incomprehensible. nadiaintro.mp3 - Opening Theme (1990 kb)
