Fire Emblem Theme English Lyrics?


Ryo
 Share

Recommended Posts

As you all know, in the title screen you can hear what seems to be the full English version of the FE main theme (or at least in the English language pack). Sadly I can hardly make out much of the lyrics due to the singer's accent and because my hearing skill is quite aweful in general. Does anyone know where I can read the full lyrics of the song (nothing helpful on Google so far)?

Here's what I have so far. Probably got some things wrong, and some I couldn't figure out at all, but it's a start.
 

Quote

Fire Emblem
Your spirit shall shine
Across the generations
Now and for all time

Fire Emblem
Heroes bringing us hope's light
Journey from distant worlds
To still the coming night

With sacred relics on our side (?)
The old champions fall from on high (?)
In this land where timeless heroes live
And their legends never die

Fire Emblem
??????? ancients?
????? your heart? ??
?????

The end is really near our reach
Take up my fight 'cause I beseech (?)
????????
Bring us peace forever more

La lalalala lalala la lala lala lala
Lalala lala lala
Lalala lala lala

The strong ?????????
We shall fight for the light we seek
Hear my voice, great hero, hear my plea
Come to me! Come set us free!

This seems to confirm what I thought hearing the lyrics at first; it seems to be talking about the MUs and the fact they're reincarnations of each other as stated in the Japanese version of Fates ("Your spirit shall shine across the generations, now, and for all time" and the last verse seeming to be attempting to summon the player into Heroes like Anna does).

 

it might be helpful still to translate the Japanese version with the above in mind to try and perhaps grasp what they're going for, unless they took a lot of liberties

I've tried to fill in any gaps from bun's lyrics as best I could! It's definitely not what it actually is but I put in words that matched what I heard and kind of made sense;; good job to bun for deciphering it so well!  :o

Fire Emblem
Your spirit shall shine
Across the generations
Now and for all time

Fire Emblem
Heroes bringing us hope's light
Journey from distant worlds
To still the coming night

With sacred relics on our side (?) 
The old champions fall from on high (?)
In this land where timeless heroes live
And their legends never die

Fire Emblem
??????? ancients? - We're heroes of the ages? 
????? your heart? ?? - With my desire your heart? 
????? - Soon with her and you???  

The end is really near our reach
Take up my fight 'cause I beseech (?)
???????? - Two kingdoms who're reached by faith before?

Bring us peace forever more

La lalalala lalala la lala lala lala
Lalala lala lala
Lalala lala lala

The strong ????????? - The strong, the weak, the brave, the meek

All shall fight for the light we seek
Hear my voice, great hero, hear my plea
Come to me! Come set us free!

The best one I could find (from penandtag2 in the comments of Master Enex's video):

Spoiler

Fire Emblem
Your spirit shall shine
Across the generations
Now, and for all time

Fire Emblem
Heroes bringing us hope's light
Journey from distant worlds
To steel the coming night

With sacred relics, guard your side
The old champions from far and high
In this land where timeless heroes live
And their legends never die

Fire Emblem
Where you got the ancients
With -(?), your heart too, where art thou?

The end is within our reach
Take up my fight, cause I beseech
Together ready with my favourite four
Bring us peace, forever more

La
Lalalalaa
Lalalalalala
Lalala
Lala
Lala
Lalala
Lalalalaa

The strong of which will break the mute
Will survive for the light we seek
Hear my voice, great hero, heed my plea
Come to me, come set us free, ooh!

Fire Emblem
Your spirit shall shine
Across the generations
Now, and for all time

Fire Emblem
Heroes bringing us hope's light
Journey from distant worlds
To still the coming niiiiiight!

I would change a few things though :

To STILL the coming night

With sacred relics at your side

by desire at the -(?)

maybe "heal my plea" instead of "head my plea"

I definitely agree with sacred relics at your side!! I think that has to be it! It's definitely hear my plea, that makes more sense too. 

I'm confident that he says 'two kingdoms' at that verse, I had a listen to the Japanese version which also mentioned two kingdoms, but I couldn't decipher the rest of the phrase either ><

I don't hear two kingdoms anywhere, maybe because it is more engrish than english, but I think these lyrics are right

Verse 2 (after "Never diiiie")

Fire Emblem

With You, All of the ages

With my desire, your heart's true

This part of you

[Chorus] [bridge (la la la da da)]

I asked for feedback from Nintendo on the app for the singer and lyrics, by the way, and they just said they didn't have it, to try looking at social media.

Just the first verse, I think sounds like this:

Quote

Fire Emblem, your spirit shall shine,

Across the generations now and for all time,

Fire Emblem, heroes wielding the sword's light,

Journey from distant worlds to still the coming night.

Quote

With favorites, ready, guard your side,

Here are champions from far on high,

In this land where timeless heroes live,

And their legends never diiiiie!

I like "With favorites, ready, guard your side", as it alludes to the game's main premise of battling with your favorite heroes.

I'll try to correct what seems off to me, tell me what you think of this guys!

 

Fire Emblem
Your spirit shall shine
Across the generations
Now and for all time

Fire Emblem
Heroes bringing us hope's light
Journey from distant worlds
To still the coming night

With sacred relics on our side          ->  With sacred relics at your side
The old champions fall from on high (?)
In this land where timeless heroes live
And their legends never die

Fire Emblem
We're heroes of the ages?        -> Where heroes of the ages
With my desire your heart? 
Soon with her and you???        -> Soon will start (?) anew

The end is really near our reach
Take up my fight 'cause I beseech (?)    -> I besiege
Two kingdoms who're reached by faith before?   -> Two kingdoms ravaged by senseless war

Bring us peace forever more

La lalalala lalala la lala lala lala
Lalala lala lala
Lalala lala lala

The strong, the weak, the brave, the meek

All shall fight for the light we seek
Hear my voice, great hero, hear my plea
Come to me! Come set us free!

Wow, goob job everyone deciphering it this far! Well, I'd change a few things from the last post (besides the beseech/besiege, I'm not sure besiege works with the rest of the verse, but you could be true), though, but it's really cool, thanks everyone! :) Hope I didn't get things wrong...

With sacred relics at your side
The old champions fall from on high -> See your champions fall from on high
In this land where timeless heroes live
And their legends never die

The end is really near our reach -> The end is within our reach
Take up my fight 'cause I beseech 
Two kingdoms ravaged by senseless war
Bring us peace forever more

I don't know if I can contribute, but this is what I hear:

 

Quote

Fire Emblem, your spirit shall shine

Across the generations,

Now, and for all time.

Fire Emblem, Heroes bringing us hope's light.

Journey from distant worlds

To still the coming night.

 

With a sacred relic at your side,

Heed old champions from far and high.

In this land where timeless heroes live,

And their legends never die!

 

Fire Emblem, where heroes of the ages

Win by desiring your heart through history.

The End is within our reach.

Take up my fight, ‘cause I beseech;

Two kingdoms fated by senseless war.

Bring us peace, forever more.

 

-         Interlude: La La (hahaha xD) -

 

The stronger which will break the meek.

All shall fight for the light we seek.

Hear my voice, great hero, hear my plea

Come to me, come set us free, ooh!

 

Fire Emblem, your spirit shall shine

Across the generations

Now, and for all time

Fire Emblem, Heroes bringing us hope's light.

Journey from distant worlds

To still the coming night.


I hope that helps =)

Great work with this, I have been following the thread closely as I plan to perform this song. I have a musician lined up for it too, I just need to find out what the lyrics are for it. Once I perform it i'll credit the forums for the help

Listening to it several times while looking at the various versions of the lyrics, my current best guess is 

Fire Emblem
Your spirit shall shine
Across the generations
Now and for all time

Fire Emblem
Heroes bringing us hope's light
Journey from distant worlds
To still the coming night

With sacred relics at your side -> With sacred relic at your side (I don't hear an 's', and I think it's referring to that one specific gun-shaped relic that the player insert character uses to summon new heroes)
See the champions fall from on high    (I agree with Luxian's correction here, sounds closer and, continuing with my theory on the previous line it describes the effect of using said relic)
In this land where timeless heroes live
And their legends never die

Fire Emblem
Where heroes of the ages
With my desire your heart
Soon will start (?) anew  (still not 100% sold on "start", but haven't heard any better suggestions.  Makes it almost seem like the summoning is more of "resurrection" of dead heroes than simply pulling them from their timeline)

The end is really near our reach -> The end is nearly in our reach (the "within" correction proposed by Luxian here doesn't really fit with what I can make out from the recording, since I definitely hear a "-ly" in there.  But "really near" is just such a casual wording that it doesn't fit with the tone of the rest of the lyrics, so I'd have a hard time accepting that they'd write that.  "nearly in" sounds about as probable to me as "really near," but isn't quite as awkward)
Take up my fight 'cause I beseech  (but I do agree with Luxian here; beseech makes more sense with both the rhyme scheme of the stanza and from the context of the game; the order of heroes may be being beseiged, but they are not calling on people to beseige; certainly not BOTH kingdoms)
Two kingdoms ravaged by senseless war

Bring us peace forever more

La lalalala lalala la lala lala lala
Lalala lala lala
Lalala lala lala

The strong, the weak, the brave, the meek:

All shall fight for the light we seek
Hear my voice, great hero, hear my plea
Come to me! Come set us free!

(Reprise of first two verses)
