仇に仇にし (ada ni ada ni shi) 鳴神が然目を (narukami ga sa me wo) 皎皎 (kyou kyou) 八雲ほろに踏みあだし (Yakumo horo ni fumiadashi) 起きる禍群 (okiru Kamura) 稲妻憤む (Inazuma futsukumu) 今生が華よ (konjou ga hana yo) 思い鎮まり (omoi shizumari) 彼で産み給へ (kata de umi tamae) The lyrics are written in old Japanese, and I'm not good at English, so it will take some time to translate. I will add a comment as soon as I understand it.🙃

I don't understand all of them, only 2 words. Inazuma is lightning Narukami mean god of thunder or Raijin (They also call Narwa Raijin in the game too) This song is write for Narwa 4 sure :)

[@nakiankim2012]

not a japanese myself, but here is my guess: Growing grudge for the foe Thunder god awakens thunderous thunder (kyou seems to be onomatopoeia for thunder) Treading on the dark rain clouds Ire awakens (interesting how it's a pun to the Kamura village too) As lightening resents This life blooms calmingly borns there beyond (彼 refers to the "other side" or next life in Buddhist context) I could totally be wrong lol

[@meremsolomon4744]

We are so close to understanding the meaning of the lyrics in Ibushi & Narwa theme with this Japanese leanguage version. All we need is someone that can properly understand the lyrics sung in Ibushi & Narwa themes and able to translate it into English. That is all really.

I didn't think about it until I read this, and now I'm so hyped! Sadly, the daily upload limit is reached. The rest of the OST will be Uploaded Tomorrow:(

[@ekosubandie2094]

My Japanese sucks, but the lyrics in the song seems to tell a story from the perspective of Narwa who searches for her mate Ibushi while mourning (?) or something on her journey, and about Kamura villagers (or your Hunter in this cases) that braves the storm of destruction to confront the storm goddess herself (Narwa). It may not be the correct translation but that's the context I got from it.

@@ekosubandie2094 Ibushi's is a desperate search for Narwa while saying that when they will meet, they will finally destoy Kamura. Narwa, on the other hand, is desperately waiting for Ibushi to mate while swearing revenge on the hunter who is keeping the separated.

*MH Lore: Thunder Serpent Narwa* "Name: Thunder Serpent Narwa (ナルハタタヒメ) Title: Thunder God Dragon (雷神龍)/Lady of Lightning/Serpent Goddess of Thunder Length: 3875.05cm Height: 1905.02cm Order: Elder Dragon Suborder: Deity Dragon Family: Unknown Habitats: Unknown" "Split the heavens with bolts of ruin and rend the land." "Bathe the land in lightning, and bring about the end." "Usher in the end of all life, rebirth it through furious thunder." "Destroy all, that life may spring anew from its ashes." "Annihilate this world that it may begin anew." "After Wind Serpent Ibushi is repelled in the Red Stronghold, it seemed that the Rampage was finally over, but one unanswered question remained... "Who was his queen?"" "Not long after Wind Serpent Ibushi is repelled, a particularly large Rakna-Kadaki suddenly appears in the Lava Caverns, and Minoto begins to act strange. It is soon discovered that another Rampage seemed to be coming, not from Wind Serpent Ibushi but rather his mate. Like her sister, Minoto had resonated with an elder dragon, and this elder dragon is known as Thunder Serpent Narwa, the Thunder God Dragon." "Identified by her two magnificent horns and yellow shell, Thunder Serpent Narwa is the female counterpart of Wind Serpent Ibushi. While he controls the wind and air, she controls thunder and lightning. This female elder dragon's exact habitat range is unknown, but she has long been a part of the region's history." "Before humans populated the Shrine Ruins, there were numerous monster species (Arzuros, Izuchi, Aknosom, Bishaten, Zinogre, Mizutsune, Almudron) living in that unspoiled land. One of the other inhabitants, who was unseen, was Thunder Serpent Narwa (Likely not the story one). This particular Thunder Serpent Narwa had long been dormant in the area for some time. When she eventually woke up, her thunderous presence scared away all the monsters that lived within the Shrine Ruins, making it possible for humans to inhabit the land. Decades later, Wind Serpent Ibushi's gales brought those monsters back to the Shine Ruins, ravaging the land that the humans had cultivated for years." "Thunder Serpent Narwa's overall body frame, shape, and characteristics are the same as Wind Serpent Ibushi's, but there are some differences between the two." Much like Ibushi, Narwa has thick, highly elastic skin covering much of her body, but, unlike Ibushi, her skin is well insulated, and this is due to the large amounts of electricity that flows throughout her body. While Ibushi uses the special gas produced in his "windsacs" for flight, Narwa uses the electric currents produced in her "thundersacs" for flight." "Narwa has seven thundersacs on her body that she uses to generate and store electricity (One on her head, one on both forelimbs, one on her tail, one on her abdomen, one on her back, and one on her chest). The electricity generated and stored within her thundersacs also produces a powerful magnetic field that allows Narwa to float or fly in the air without wings. Those organs will glow intensely when they store large amounts of electrical energy." "Covering much of her body are dozens of tentacles that generate static electricity. When the tentacles rub together, they produce a powerful electrical charge that clads Narwa in golden lightning, allowing her to unleash that electricity from her body in a variety of ways." "Narwa constantly generates a large amount of electricity in and on her body, affecting the environment around her (Basically, she "repels" herself off the ground, much like two magnets repelling each other)." "Her body generates so much electricity that even touching her can be fatal (Any creature that touches her will be severely burnt by the electricity coursing through her veins)." "When Narwa is around, objects will randomly float around the area, and a thunderous storm will cover the sky in golden lightning. Compared to Ibushi, Narwa was more eager to mate, and she was greatly angered when she heard her mate's sorrowful cries. Although Narwa stays in one place during the mating season, her presence can be felt from afar, not only by Ibushi but by other creatures." "When Ibushi was repelled, she made her presence known and shook multiple ecosystems with her thunderous roar, leading to the continuation of the Rampage. When her location was discovered, the Guild sent hunters to handle her, but that hunting party was decimated by her. Rather than sending another group of hunters to slay her, the Guild sent the "Fierce" to permanently take care of her." "Narwa chose the Coral Palace, a forgotten fortress that seems to have come out of the sea, as her nesting spot, and the Fierce went there alone on a small boat to face her. The Coral Palace is on an isolated island surrounded by a wind-swept sea." "Narwa has outstanding abilities that some consider greater than Ibushi's. As mentioned above, she can release powerful electrical shocks from her entire body, and she does so in a variety of ways. She can release streams of electricity from her thundersacs, and she uses the dozens of tentacles on her body like "limbs" to manipulate large amounts of electricity at will. She can also expel powerful electrical blasts from her mouth." "When she becomes enraged, her body will produce more electricity, further enhancing the strength of her attacks. The more enraged Narwa becomes, the more electricity her body will produce, meaning her attacks will become more powerful and unpredictable." "Hunters can use those magnetized objects to their advantage while hunting Narwa. Damaging her thundersacs will dispel some of the electricity she has built in her body, weakening her abilities. She'll fall to the ground if most of her thundersacs are damaged. The thundersac on her abdomen is especially sensitive, and electricity will violently explode in her body if that particular thundersac is heavily damaged in combat." " When pushed to her limit, Narwa truly shows her destructive capabilities. Narwa will pierce the heavens and earth with her divine lightning, bringing death and destruction to the land. Reference: mythopedia.com/topics/raijin " "Although Narwa has destructive abilities, she may also be a bringer of life. Deep in the underground caves of the Lava Caverns, the skeleton of a Narwa can be found. This individual chose that locale as her nest spotting, but she died before an Ibushi could discover her location. This Narwa likely died due to old age or some other factor. Many volcanoes surround the Lava Caverns, but not many creatures (Monsters and endemic life) can be found inhabiting them. However, many creatures can be found inhabiting the Lava Caverns, and this is due to the immense energy left behind by that Narwa. Her energy created a biodiverse ecosystem, an ecosystem that the Guild is keeping tabs on." "The hide protects her from thunder attacks and makes lightning strikes feel like bug bites. Flesh-singeing electricity courses through her carapace. Her claws can slice would-be attackers and alter the surrounding terrain." *"Narwa's horns can shoot out bolts of lightning when swung (This isn't really shown in-game, but the horns do shoot out lightning).* The "Thunder Serpent Orb" is a rare jewel that forms inside of Narwa's thundersac. This jewel shimmers with the ire of lightning, and it is said that its holders can tame thunder. It is also that it'll unleash a blinding lightning strike when exposed to the outside air. The Thunder Serpent Orb is thought to be the true source of Narwa's power." "When chaos rocks the world, it appears to help guide mankind." "Soar among the lightning to crush all calamity." "Shake the spent world with dominion over the halo of souls." "The raging and roaring thunderbolts of the Allmother are revered and worshipped." "Even if the world falls to ruin, this strength shall shape the next." " Sources: 1.

So from a japanese video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/np2WomabiLx8ldk The song of Narwa is about getting revenge from the hunters who beat the **** out of her king. Keep in mind that it's ancient japanese and that the lyrics they wrote are not official

[@donimmortal7692]

Wow~ turn out you can just say random shit and people would believes you anyway. No, both of them are talking about their unite and fulfilling their wish.

[@jbmarkowicz4272]

Thanks for uploading!

[@franklongbottom3210]

Since I roughly translated Ibushi's, I thought I'd do Narwa's too. Keep in mind these already aren't the most official lyrics since the language used is a more ancient Japanese. Also, take these lyrics with a grain of salt since I translated through Google. If we manage to get ahold of clearer lyrics, I will make a new comment. 仇に仇にし (To the side) 鳴神が然目を (Narukami looks at me) Keep in mind "Narukami" means "Thunder God". 皎皎 (Jiaojiao) 八雲ほろに踏みあだし (Stepping on Yakumo Horo) ok this line is just funny 起きる禍群 (Breath of Ire) 稲妻憤む (Lightning Resentment) 今生が華よ (This life is brilliant) Probably talking about Narwa and Ibushi's "Paradise". 思い鎮まり (Calm down) 彼で産み給へ (To give birth with him) ok what Again, take this with a grain of salt due to poor English translation and no official lyrics. Credit goes to 飯カスタード for commenting the Japanese lyrics on this video. Feel free to try to make sense of these lyrics!

[@Revoltine]

If your translation of the last line is correct, then it would refer to Narwa's desire to give birth to their child, which is exactly what possessed Hinoa and Minoto alluded to in the post-game scene before the 3.0 update.

[@newhek]

This is just my overly wild speculation, but we might see their child as DLC like Xeno & Safi, or maybe even secret boss like Shara. Maybe the thunder child managed to explosively grow by devouring its parents corpses or something similar.

[@Stoneth]

It actually makes a lot of sense considering the fact that Narwa has a visible ... I don't know what to call it ... egg sack? Narwhal definitely seems intent on bearing Ibushi's child especially since the final quest to actually fight her is called The Allmother.

[@miiverseisdead4942]

@@Stoneth It's an egg sac and a thunder sac. She uses it to float, to attack, and as a place to keep the eggs before laying them.
