Lyrics adapted by Shift (batwing321)
Lyrics:
In a distant town, as the dark grows deep,
Unfamiliar words resound, whispered and weak,
Let me heal the pain, drive away despair,
Lead this child whos lost his way; help him prepare.
While apart, understand,
I will live my life for you wherever I am.
Its my greatest wish, to provide for you,
Tender moments, sweetest dreams, love, warm and true.
As I close my eyes, even now I see,
On his face, that little child smiles just for me,
If I call, if he hears,
He will turn towards me, free from his fears.
Shine on one dear child, one so very small,
One who carries on alone, strong after all,
Shine on one dear child, one so very small,
One who carries on alone, strong after all.

Arrangement: Satoshi Kadokura

I just found out that this song is supposedly sung by Hinawa... *starts to cry*

[@WallzTheGamerplaysGames]

*Mother 3 realeses in USA* SHUDAP AND TAKE MY MONEY!! Warning: May contain tears of joy

[@infinitibitgames7178]

[@drakeredwingofficial]

you can get it for, like, sixteen bucks on amazon as a GBA cartridge

[@FrogworfKnight]

@frankyagernull Its not so much a translation as it is a localization. Since direct translations of songs very rarely sound well, due to verses not having the same meter when translated, you have to localize it, which may mean that some parts will have to change a bit. But in the end, this is the only way you will ever get to hear this song properly in english, without it sounding broken.

[@nannerpuddin00]

@CaptHayfever Actually.. .Mother 3 had a different composer than Mother 1 and 2. o v o ;

[@andrewhayes4844]

Mother 3 used PK Emotions you couldn't stop crying

[@CadenDigDug08]

Remember no crying till the end

[@Yokito121]

Mother 1 showed us the power of a song and friendship... Mother 2 showed us the power of faith and a memory... Mother 3 showed us the power of love and a mother's warmth... . .. ... R.I.P. Claus and Hinawa...

[@ender7278]

All the games are about a mother's warmth. It's kinda in the title.

[@necksuss5806]

I thought 3 was partially about the power of family/community

[@straypaper]

"Mom, we love you." "Hee hee, I love you too." "We miss you..." "I'm so sorry, dear..." "Why did you leave us?" "I never wanted to leave you, you know. I wanted to see you grow. Hold your hands until... well, until you don't want me to, I guess? But I don't regret it one bit. If it's the only way for you to live on, I'd do it all over again." "But what about this pain we keep feeling?" "I'm sorry, dear. I never wanted to put you through any of this... But I am very grateful that you feel that way about me. Loss only hurts when it's something precious, right? So I'm very grateful for that. Thank you, for making me a mother. Thank you, for being my children." "I'd rather not live than keep feeling this pain..." "Please don't say that... There's nothing wrong with feeling pain, you know? Pain is proof that you felt love. Even if it's painful, as long as you're alive, you can still do so much more. You can love some more, and make your heart rich like that. Of course you will feel more pain, but every pain is different. Every love is different. There will be meetings and partings, and there will be joy and sadness, but every one will be different each time! How cool is that?" "But we still miss you mom..." "Oh dearest... Of course you do... How about this, you keep going until you can't anymore, experience lots of things, and then when you're tired, you come to me and tell me all about it. How does that sound?" "Okay... We'll try..."

[@ToddM_arts]

I don't know where you are or what are you doing right now, batwing321, but despite this being an 11 years old video, I need to tell you that it's thanks to you, thanks to this video, that I met the Mother series. Thanks to you, I laughed and cried playing these games. I was still a kid when I first heard your beautiful voice singing this masterpiece of a song, but from that day, I never stopped watching Mother related videos, until I finally played the trilogy on my old PC, how many memories. Even today, every time I re-watch this video, my heart starts beating fast, really fast. I know this may seem exaggerated, but I'm still grateful to you for making this video, I wish all the best to you and everyone you love

[@lucybranford2095]

[@butch10357]

Yeah, I was listening to this song while I was sketching Vitaly and Alex (again). And as I continued to draw, I would up drawing Alex sleeping. At that moment, the phrase "I could stay awake, just to hear you breathing." came up. Which then gave me the idea of Vitaly and Alex sleeping on the floor of Vitaly's train car, as the moon light lite part of the car. I really wanted Vitaly to protective and loving of Alex in this one, which is why I had him holding on to Alex as he slept. Just watching him sleep (like how the song stated. Sounds kinda creepy doesn't it, for Vitaly of course.) :squee:

This becomes sadder when you realize she's probably talking about claus.

This is a very soothing melody. I really like how it emulate a mother who is comforting her child. I can picture Lucas remembering Hinawa used to sing to him and Claus when their scared. Also I can see this playing in the background in Mask man. Seeing Claus fighting back his program.

No matter how much i want Mother 3 to have a Western release, if it did it would get HEAVILY censored. In my opinion, even with a western release the best way to play it for the best experience would probably be the fan translation, which tries its best to stay true to the original.

I can agree for the most part. Pokemon doesn't have much of a story line.. but it's still pretty amusing to use your favorite pokemon against others. But the Mother series makes you feel.. like most of the characters are significant and wonderful. Even the stereo-typically female ones.

[@Kawaiicrasy]

It makes me happy i like this song

[@Thenumber1yoshi]

@frankyagernull Well understand its hard to make ryhmes if it had been unchanged from the Japanese version. It helps the song sound better than it would be in a direct English translation. This is still good for an english version, plus there are some parts of the song that carry on too long or are too short in the Japanese version so they had to add extended some lyrics to fit certain parts of the song so it could fill in the original track. In fact one part has like five words just *2bcont.

[@ChronosGiegue]

The song is overall great. But the feelings of emptiness and despair don't reach the listener. These are some important things missing. Probably just the instruments, could use more violins and a stronger resonance. And clarinets would be nice too. Whoever sang this, you should try to sing out more and pronounce your words more clearly, I had trouble understanding what you were singing. But, good job.
