The '''''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' Main Theme''' is | The '''''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' Main Theme''' is a song that was revealed along with ''[[Brawl]]'' itself at the game's first trailer at [[E3 2006]], before being posted on the [[Smash Bros. DOJO!!]] 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 credits of [[The Subspace Emissary]] feature | The end game credits of [[The Subspace Emissary]] feature an English localization of the lyrics, as follows: | ||

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 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/> | ||
| Line 97: | Line 90: | ||

They are allies 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 fighting fiercely<br/> | And by contesting and by fighting fiercely<br/> | ||
our splendor grows | Surely our splendor grows. | ||
