Lyrics[edit]

Latin English[1]

Fire Emblem iter sine fine
Vadite eris sociis

Fire Emblem, companions walk
The endless path together.

Umbrae labantem invidiae
Ac sanguinans diritas
Villae hastam velavit ignibus ab aditus est

In the wavering shadow of spite,
Our home is faced by the oncoming spear,
Engulfed in flames.

Ego illam diem commemorabam
Nunc simul cum meis socii oriar

I keep that unforgettable day in my heart
And now rise up together with my companions.

Fire Emblem, nostrum vinculum numquam frangamur

Fire Emblem, our bond shall be never broken.

Ut relicum manendi consistimus
Insuper hastilium qui diem salvae

We hold fast to protect tomorrow
And the one who awaits our return.

Fire Emblem, ad insigne summato coheres lux

Fire Emblem, light gathers on the flag we unfurl.

Fire Emblem, multa stella
Suspicis tenens tuum ferro

Fire Emblem, we gaze upon the multitude of stars,
Gripping our blades.

Umbra terra haud quadam es aura adducere
Harenes adsurgus dium astra terram

If we do not bring light to the darkness in these lands,
The shooting stars will soar over a wasteland.

Fire Emblem, de illustra
Qui vallum oriens fulgebunt?

Fire Emblem, on whom does the morning sun shine
As she climbs over the edge of battle?

  • Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance is the only game in the Fire Emblem series where the Japanese version lists all of the song names in English. With the exception of "Victory Is Near" and "Power-Hungry Fool", the Super Smash Bros. series uses the Japanese names of these tracks even in the international versions.
