The | The Main Theme song was revealed along with the game itself at the game's first trailer in E3 2006 before being posted at the site much later. This thundering orchestra with vocals sung in Latin was composed by famed Final Fantasy series composer [[Nobuo Uematsu]], and its lyrics were supervised by [[Sakurai]] himself. The lyrics are seen in the closing video of the Subspace Emissary. The instrumental part is used often in Brawl, normally in a remix mode. | ||

A incorrect translation of the lyrics appears in the end game credits of Subspace Emissary as follows:<br/> | |||
< | |||
I’ve heard legends of that person<br/> | |||
How he plunged into enemy territory<br/> | How he plunged into enemy territory<br/> | ||
How he saved his homeland<br/> | How he saved his homeland<br/> | ||
I’ve heard legends of that person<br/> | |||
How he traveled the breadth of the land | How he traveled the breadth of the land reducing all he touched to rubble.<br/> | ||
I’ve heard legends of that person<br/> | |||
I’ve heard legends of that person<br/> | |||
Revered by many--I too, revere him<br/> | Revered by many -- I, too, revere him<br/> | ||
Feared by many--I too, fear him<br/> | Feared by many -- I, too, fear him<br/> | ||
Now | Now that person<br/> | ||
Stands at my side<br/> | Stands at my side<br/> | ||
Now that person stands at my side<br/> | Now that person stands at my side<br/> | ||
Now my friends are with me<br/> | Now my friends are with me<br/> | ||
Some of them were once heroes<br/> | Some of them were once heroes<br/> | ||
| Line 77: | Line 67: | ||
And as we face each other in battle, locked in combat<br/> | And as we face each other in battle, locked in combat<br/> | ||
We shine ever brighter | We shine ever brighter<br/> | ||
</ | |||
===Literal Translation=== | |||
Although the above translation is fine for idiomatic English, the translation takes too many liberties with the tenses and strict verb meanings in the Latin. An accurate translation which stays true to the Latin follows: | |||
Listen to the legend of that one.<br/> | |||
Alone he rushed into his enemies<br/> | Alone he rushed into his enemies<br/> | ||
and saved his | and saved his fatherland.<br/> | ||
Listen to the legend of that one.<br/> | |||
He ran, destroying everything he touched<br/> | He ran, destroying everything he touched.<br/> | ||
Listen to the legend of that one.<br/> | |||
Listen to the legend of that one.<br/> | |||
There is hope for everyone, and also for me.<br/> | |||
There is fear for everyone, and also for me.<br/> | |||
That one<br/> | That one<br/> | ||
is | is close to me. | ||
That one is close to me.<br/> | |||
They are allies to me,<br/> | |||
</ | Those who were once brave men<br/> | ||
and who were once rivals.<br/> | |||
And by contesting and by fighting fiercely<br/> | |||
Our splendor grows. | |||
