Há muito tempo 00:02
Numa terra longínqua da antiga Grécia 00:04
Existiu a idade do ouro de poderosos deuses 00:07
E de heróis extraordinários 00:10
E o mais forte e poderoso de todos esses heróis 00:13
Foi o grandioso Hércules! 00:16
Mas como é que reconhecemos um verdadeiro herói? 00:18
- Bem, é isso que a nossa história vai… - Estão a ouvi-lo? 00:21
Até parece que a história é uma tragédia grega! 00:25
Anima-te, meu! 00:28
Continuamos nós, querido 00:29
Podes falar, miúda 00:31
Nós somos as musas 00:35
Deusas da arte 00:37
E proclamadoras de heróis 00:39
Heróis como Hércules! 00:41
Querida, queres dizer "Múscules"! 00:42
Ah! 00:45
- Gostava que me desse música com o seu… - A nossa história 00:45
Começa muito antes do tempo de Hércules 00:48
Há muitos, muitos anos… 00:52
Passaram anos-luz 00:56
Que aqui corriam dias sem cor 00:59
Que andavam cá gigantes, rudes 01:02
Titãs do terror 01:05
Isto era um solo mau 01:08
E os nossos pés andavam cá sempre 01:11
Fugindo ao caos e a monstros 01:14
Da loucura mais demente 01:16
Uh, diz, miúda! 01:19
Mas eis que chega Zeus 01:20
De raio pela mão 01:22
Baixou! 01:24
Pôs os monstros na prisão 01:25
Trancou! 01:27
E lá do céu soube todos sossegar 01:28
É a verdade a nu Herói de classe A 01:32
Não tem "relax" 01:36
Mas teve um prato seu 01:39
Isso, querida! 01:40
E muito novo o mundo amansou 01:42
Contá-lo é mais uma prova 01:45
É a verdade a nu 01:47
No monte Olimpo tudo era bom 01:51
E assim ficou 01:54
Cantá-lo é mais uma prova 01:57
É a verdade a nu 02:00

[English]
Once upon a time
In a distant land of ancient Greece
There was a golden age of mighty gods
And heroic legends
And the strongest and boldest of all those heroes
Was the great Hercules!
But how do we know a real hero?
- Well, that’s what our story’s about… - - Are you listening?
It’s like a Greek tragedy, right?
Cheer up, my friend!
We go on, dear
You can speak, girl
We are the muses
Goddesses of art
And announcers of heroes
Heroes like Hercules!
Sweetheart, you mean “Muscles”!
Oh!
- I’d love it if you’d give me music with your… - - Our story
Starts long before Hercules’s time
Many, many years ago…
Light-years have passed
Since days without color
Rough giants wandered here
Titans of terror
This land was harsh ground
And our feet always moved here
Fleeing chaos and monsters
From the wildest madness
Oh, tell us, girl!
Then Zeus arrived
With a lightning bolt in hand
He descended!
He locked up the monsters
In chains!
And from the sky, he calmed everyone down
That’s the truth in the raw - Top class hero
He doesn’t relax
But he had a meal of his own
Exactly, dear!
And he tamed the world while still new
Telling it proves
It’s the truth in the raw
On Mount Olympus, everything was good
And so it remained
Telling it’s proof
It’s the truth in the raw
