Here are the original Latin lyrics to the main theme of Super Smash Bros. Brawl and the Final Destination theme, along with the most accurate English interpretation I could make, as well as a word-by-word syntactic translation. Surprisingly, the lyrics aren't gibberish, or broken, as lyricist Taro Yamashita did a fantastic job making them sound native. The singers, who are using the Ecclesiastical pronunciation, although not perfect, did a pretty great job!
This is an update to an old video from a year ago, correcting several mistakes and improving the quality overall. The translation is also available in several other languages (switch closed captions on). If you see fit to add any other, contact me!
Hope you enjoy, happy holidays!
