Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Main Theme

The 'Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Main Theme' composed by Nobuo Uematsu, is an epic orchestral piece that serves as the musical backdrop for the popular video game 'Super Smash Bros. Brawl'. The lyrics, sung in Latin, add to the grandeur and timeless quality of the game, which brings together various characters from different gaming universes to battle it out in a crossover fighting experience.

The lyrics speak of fame and valor, with phrases like 'Audi famam illius' (Hear the fame of that one) and 'Solus in hostes ruit et patriam servavit' (He alone rushed into the enemies and saved the homeland). These lines evoke the heroic efforts of the game's characters as they fight to protect what is dear to them. The theme also touches on themes of rivalry and camaraderie with 'Socii sunt mihi qui olim viri fortes rivalesque erant' (Allies are to me those who once were brave men and rivals). This reflects the game's narrative where former foes unite against a common threat, fighting side by side.

The song's dual nature of hope and terror, 'Spes omnibus, mihi quoque; Terror omnibus, mihi quoque' (Hope to all, to me as well; Terror to all, to me as well), encapsulates the excitement and uncertainty of battle. It highlights the duality of the characters' roles as both protectors and warriors. The crescendo of 'Splendor crescit' (Splendor grows) suggests that through the struggle and competition, the characters, and by extension the players, achieve a sense of glory and accomplishment.
