THEME SONG (original English version):
                               “Ever since the time of the Great Cataclysm, the Arkadians have
                               lived deep in the center of the earth. They believed they were the
                               only survivors of this great devastation. Their civilization thrived
                               under the power of their sun, the Tehra... until it began to fail. In
                               desperation, the children of Arkadia broke the law and entered the
                               forbidden Archives searching for a solution. What they discovered
                               gave them hope. Anxiously, they used their special powers and created
                               a messenger to the people above. They named her Arkana.”  

                               Shine like a sun that lies beneath the sea.  Divine is the one we call Tehra.
                               Far from the world we knew so long ago.  Mine is the land Arkadia.
                               We pass on the stratas in our magic ship.  We're strong for our hearts now beat as one.
                               Matt and Rebecca believe Arkana.  Brave while the sun still burns.  

                               Go follow Spartakus to the sun beneath the sea.
                               We're so near to the universe, which has long disappeared.
                               Rainbows dawn on Arkadia shining sun beneath the sea.
      
THEME SONG (by Menudo):
                               Before you came, we only had a dream.
                               Hidden deeply, burning brightly like the sun beneath the sea.
                               You hold the key, unlock the past. 
                               You have the power to guide our path.
                               Step by step, we will be strong until the sun is seen by all.
                               Before you came, we only had a dream.
                               Hidden deeply, burning brightly like the sun beneath the sea.
                               Spartakus, Spartakus, Spartakus!
