Super Smash Bros. Brawl Main Theme

Super Smash Bros. Brawl logo The Super Smash Bros. Brawl Main Theme is, as the name implies, the main theme of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, playing in the opening movie. It was first heard alongside the reveal of Brawl itself in the game's first trailer at E3 2006, before being posted on the Smash Bros. DOJO!! much later. The song was composed by Final Fantasy series composer Nobuo Uematsu, and its lyrics were supervised by Super Smash Bros. series director Masahiro Sakurai. The translated lyrics are seen in the closing video of the Subspace Emissary, just before the credits. The melody is used in many of Brawl's original songs, albeit usually without the lyrics. While the original song does not return in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, its various remixes from Brawl return as selectable music in the Wii U version for the main menu, Battlefield, and Final Destination. The song is also incorporated into the credits medley in both versions. Specifics Composer: Nobuo Uematsu, (SMILE PLEASE Co. Ltd.) Arranger: HAL Laboratory, Inc.

Lyrics Audi famam illius. Solus in hostes ruit et patriam servavit. Audi famam illius. Cucurrit quaeque tetigit destruens. Audi famam illius. Audi famam illius. Spes omnibus, mihi quoque. Terror omnibus, mihi quoque. Ille iuxta me. Ille iuxta me. Socii sunt mihi, qui olim viri fortes rivalesque erant. Saeve certando pugnandoque splendor crescit. Translated Lyrics The end game credits of The Subspace Emissary feature localizations of the lyrics, as follows: English I've heard legends of that person How he plunged into enemy territory How he saved his homeland I've heard legends of that person How he traveled the breadth of the land, reducing all he touched to rubble I've heard legends of that person I've heard legends of that person Revered by many--I too, revere him Feared by many--I too, fear him Now, that person Stands at my side Now that person stands at my side Now my friends are with me Some of them were once heroes Some, my mortal enemies And as we face each other in battle, locked in combat We shine ever brighter German Ich hörte Legenden von dieser Person Die erst feindliche Linien durchbrach Die einst für ihre Heimat kämpfte Ich hörte Legenden von dieser Person Die durch die Lande zog und sie in Schutt und Asche legte Ich hörte Legenden von dieser Person Ich hörte Legenden von dieser Person Verehrt von Vielen - auch ich verehre sie Gefürchtet von Vielen - auch ich fürchte sie Nun steht sie hier An meiner Seite Nun steht sie hier an meiner Seite Nun bin ich von Freunden umgeben Einige von ihnen waren einst Helden Einige meine erbittertsten Feinde Nun, da wir uns im Kampfe gegenüberstehen Erstrahlt unser Ruhm heller als je zuvor Direct Translation The English translation is a localization, and as such takes many liberties with the original Latin language's verb tenses and strict verb meanings. A more direct translation that stays true to the original Latin follows: Hear the fame of that one Alone he rushed into his enemies and saved his country Hear the fame of that one He ran, destroying everything he touched Hear the fame of that one Hear the fame of that one Hope to everyone, also to me Fear to everyone, also to me That one is near to me That one is near to me They are allies to me Those who were once strong men and rivals And by contesting and fighting fiercely our splendor grows. Trivia This is the first main theme to have vocals in the series. External Links Super Smash Bros. Brawl Main Theme at Smash Bros. Dojo Official Download
