Ulysses 31 lyrics
Opening theme tune lyrics:
Narration:
It is the 31st century, Ulysses
killed the giant Cyclops when he rescued the children and his son
Telemachus. But the ancient Gods of Olympus are angry and threaten
a terrible revenge...
*Mortals, you defy the Gods? I sentence you to travel among unknown
stars. Until you find the Kingdom of Hades, your bodies will stay
as lifeless as stone.*
- Ulysses, the way back to earth has been wiped from my memory.
- Father, oh father!
- You are alive my son.
Song:
Ulysses, Ulysses, soaring through
all the galaxies, in search of Earth, flying into the night!
Ulysses, Ulysses, fighting evil and tyranny with all his heart and
with all of his might!
Ulysseee-eee-eees, no-one else can do the things you do!
Ulysseee-eee-eees, like a bolt of thunder from the blue!
Ulysseee-eee-eees, always fighting all the evil forces, bringing
peace and justice to all!
It's me Nono, small robot you know, friend of Ulysses!
Uly-eeessseess!
It's me Nono, small robot you know, friend of Ulysses!
Ulysses, Ulysses, could not find his destiny, leaving earth such
a long time ago!
(air guitar bit!)
Ulysseee-eee-eees, like a mighty warrior in the sky!
Ulysseee-eee-eees, with the small companions by his side!
Ulysseee-eee-eees, like a king is now protected by the gods from
every foe in his way!
It's me Nono, small robot you know, friend of Ulysses!
Uly-eeessseess!
It's me Nono, small robot you know, friend of Ulysses!
Ulysseee-eee-eees, no-one else can do the things you do!
Ulysseee-eee-eees, like a bolt of thunder from the blue!
Ulysseee-eee-eees, always fighting all the evil forces, bringing
peace and justice to all!
It's me Nono, small robot you know, friend of Ulysses!
Uly-eeessseess!
It's me Nono, small robot you know, friend of Ulysses!
Uly-eeessseess!
It's me Nono, small robot you know, friend of Ulysses!
Uly-eeessseess!
It's me Nono, small robot you know, friend of Ulysses!
Uly-eeessseess!

This fantastic Japanese-French co-production
was first broadcast in the 80's, on Channel 4. The series
is a modern retelling of Homer's 'The Odyssey', set in
the 31st century. Fresh from the battle of Troy, Ulysses
journies home to reunite with his wife, Penelope. En route,
his son Telemechus is snatched by a mysterious vapour
cloud and transported to the White Planet; there, children
are sacrificed by the natives to their lord, the Cyclops.
Whilst rescuing Telemachus, the Cyclops is destroyed,
thus incurring the wrath of Poseidon, the monster's creator.
Zeus - the lord of the Gods - banishes Ulysses to the
universe of Olympus, and sends his companions into a deep
sleep. Only once he has found the Kingdom of Hades, can
he free his crew and return to Earth to be reunited with
Penelope once more. This box set features all the episodes
ever made
