SD3 character theme songs with lyrics

Post by Etsura »

Remember those SD3 character theme songs Grulps made? Well, he originally made them because I asked for him to make me karaoke-versions of those songs cause I had an inspiration rushing in my head and I thought about making lyrics and recording the songs. He's that brother of mine who originally introduced me to the Mana-series, by the way :-)

I made lyrics for 5 of the songs (I still don't know what to put in Kevin's song) and they're all in Finnish, since it's my native language and I just wanted to make them so. Okay, the main reason why I used Finnish was that I'm not all that confident in my skills at making lyrics and this way no one can tell if they sound like crap ^-^; Unless they know Finnish or it sounds like crap regardless of what the lyrics mean.

Anyway, a few years after the karaoke-versions were ready, I've finally gotten my lazy self recording the first one:

Click! (yes, it's in *.ogg format)

Here are the lyrics, both in Finnish and a translation: (somehow the translation doesn't feel so crappy to me)

Mä matkustan maailmaa,
ain' etsien voimaa.
Mä voittoon itseni vien
näin kuljen loppuun tän tien.

Tiellein ken uskaltaa
saa miekkain terää maistaa.
Takas viel tuun kulta pien,
vaan ensin kuljen tän tien.

Unohtaa en saata sitä kohtalokasta
yötä joka elämäni pilasi ja muutti
ajoi kotoa... (ajoi kotoa...)

Unohtaa en voi sitä nöyryytystä,
jonka hän päälleni silloin langetti.
Näen vain punaista joka edessäni loistaa
purppurana...

Viha ja kosto ne kytevät sinua kohtaan, oi,
purppuranpunainen velho pohjoisesta, hoi!
Rakkaus ja uskollisuus tätä kotimaata kohtaan, oi,
kantavat voimaa, joka palaa sydämessäin!


---

I'm traveling the world,
always in search of power.
I'll take myself to victory,
this way I'll walk this path.

Whoever dares to step in my way,
gets to taste the blade of my sword.
I will come back, my dear,
but first I'll walk this path.

I couldn't see myself forgetting that fateful night
that made a mess of my life and changed it,
drove away from home... (drove away from home...)

I cannot forget that humiliation
which he cast on me that time.
I only see red that shines before me,
as crimson...

Anger and revenge are simmering towards you, oh,
crimson wizard from the north, ho!
Love and loyalty towards this homeland, oh,
carry the power which burns in my heart!


More will be coming and I'll post them in this thread. Comments are welcome. Also suggestions of what could Kevin's song be about ;)

Hey, LoM's theme was in Swedish, it only makes sense to do some SD3 music in Finnish right? :P

I really liked the end part, was fun to hear that part sung to XD
Lyrics are pretty neat too, hope to see the others!

Hehe, I've been lurking around quietly all this time though ^-^;

LoM's theme in Swedish? Haven't heard about that :-)

Edit: This isn't a character theme song but I thought I might as well put this here too:
Hightension Wire Acapella

Hahaha, that's really fun XD

I think you should mess around with the levels a bit though. I feel like the la la la, na na na and pi pi pi parts should stand out more from the rest of it. Really fun idea XD

That Acapella reminds me of something I was working on... Maybe I'll finally get round to finishing it...
