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 {{uv|Final Fantasy}} series composer [[Nobuo Uematsu]], and its lyrics were supervised by {{uv|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]]'', it returns as selectable menu music in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' (after clearing [[World of Light]]). Its various remixes from ''Brawl'' return as selectable music in ''for Wii U'' and ''Ultimate'' for the [[Mode|main menu]], [[Battlefield]], and [[Final Destination]]. The song is also incorporated into the [[credits]] medley in both versions of ''SSB4''.

Call me papa. Me be who?<br/>
Audi famam illius.<br/>
So it wasn't me<br/>
Solus in hostes ruit<br/>
And I flee a tsunami.<br/>
et patriam servavit.<br/>


Call me mama. Hee hee hoo.<br/>
Audi famam illius.<br/>
You leak red hair. And you eat a spoon fair.<br/>
Cucurrit quaeque tetigit destruens.<br/>


Ah x6 videos.<br/>
Audi famam illius.<br/>
He farted... VIDEOS!<br/>

Despacito, he farted.<br/>
Spes omnibus, mihi quoque.<br/>
They are peoples eating [[Onett]]!<br/>

We only need 4 players, people. YES!<br/>

Where did the ground go? Look now!<br/>

More respect<br/>
splendor crescit.
Not red, [[Sheik]]!

===Direct Translation===
===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:  
The official English translation is not literal; the Latin verb tenses and strict verb meanings were localized to be more easily parsed in English. The following is a more direct translation of the original Latin lyrics:
