The '''''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' | The '''''Super Smash Bros. Brawl Main Theme''''' is a song that was revealed along with ''[[Brawl]]'' 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 [[Masahiro Sakurai]], director of ''Brawl''. 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. | ||

The end game credits of [[The Subspace Emissary]] feature an English localization of the lyrics, as follows: | |||

===Direct Translation=== | ===Direct Translation=== | ||
As the above translation is a localization, it 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, is as follows: | |||
Hear the fame of that one<br/> | Hear the fame of that one.<br/> | ||
Alone he rushed into his enemies<br/> | Alone he rushed into his enemies<br/> | ||
and saved his country<br/> | and saved his country.<br/> | ||

He ran, destroying everything he touched<br/> | He ran, destroying everything he touched.<br/> | ||
Hear the fame of that one<br/> | Hear the fame of that one.<br/> | ||
Hear the fame of that one<br/> | Hear the fame of that one.<br/> | ||
Hope to everyone, also to me<br/> | Hope to everyone, also to me.<br/> | ||
Fear to everyone, also to me<br/> | Fear to everyone, also to me.<br/> | ||
That one<br/> | That one<br/> | ||
is near to me | is near to me. | ||
They are allies to me<br/> | That one is near to me.<br/> | ||
They are allies to me,<br/> | |||
Those who were once strong men<br/> | Those who were once strong men<br/> | ||
and rivals<br/ | and rivals.<br/> | ||
And by contesting and by fighting fiercely<br/> | |||
Surely our splendor grows. | |||
