When I first heard this song as a child, I have to say, I felt very complimented. Somewhere in Japan, I knew people cared about my country, and enjoyed the sounds of our language. That's a pretty good feeling.

[@GerryBolger]

I'm fluent in Irish and when i finished this fuckin epic game it took me a while to realise this song was in Irish. I couldn't believe something so great, so game changing had my little known language in it.

[@whoarethepatriots307]

I almost choked when I finally realised what this song is about. (Was eating chips) basically, this song fits the entire series. Not to ruin it for anyone, but this song is about what war does to people. "Do you remember the time..." sounds like they lost a lot of emotion after returning from war "now only the music of the night" PTSD. Having nightmares of the cannon fire and friends dying. "Feeling used and lost, why the fighting and crying of tears" basically, they can't find meaning in life anymore after the traumatic experience, and why did they have to fight? What is the point of war? Essentially, just imagine that the person they are referring to was a warrior, and he came back different than he was before. The person was cold, unfeeling, and hated themselves. They felt they couldn't love, laugh, or enjoy life after what they went through. Very sad. That was my interpretation of it, anyways.

[@TicTac-vk3li]

That's deep man

[@6ch6ris6]

Foehammer12 but you also need to look at the endings of the games. especially the first mgs when meryl says "the important thing is that you choose life. and then live!". i mean all the stuff about giving culture and wisdom to the next generations. i love that ending. it says a lot about solid snake being a clone and therefore he always felt bound to his genes and kinda cursed

truthfully thats essentially what i think i remember big boss telling snake at the end of mgs4. snake pulls a gun on him and big boss hugs him. tells him to live his life. that they didnt need to fight anymore. id have to watch again to confirm but thats what i remember. snake was very cold in MGS1 very very cold. even the things that bothered him he acted like they didnt until nearly the end when fox died.

[@6ch6ris6]

it's just incredible how this single song can give me such an emotional meltdown. thinking about this game, what it means to me, love, friendship, life. within seconds i am starting to feel tears running down my face, reminding me even more of how this game changed my life and how thankful i am for that. it's just a song written in a language that i never heard before, but i fell in love with it the moment those credits started to roll. and it's perfect. there is just nothing i would ever change of this song. sometimes i wish i could play metal gear solid again, because it is my absolute favourite game of all time. but then i am afraid that it won't be the same. and i know it will never be the same as back when i was a kid, sitting on the floor in front of the tv. completely blown away by this story and all the messages it delivered. --- you mustn't allow yourself to be chained to fate to be ruled by your gens. humans can choose the type of life they want to live. the important thing is that you choose life and then...live! ---

@@michaelmichetti1661 Gray Fox dying is very sad and dramatic but for the series I would say The Boss's death where you kill your own mentor was the height of Metal Gear as a franchise.

Over 25 years ago, I somehow got a red demo disc. I put it in my Playstation, and there were several game demos, and a few trailers. One was for Metal Gear Solid: Tactical Espionage Action. It was the one with the song "The best is yet to come." Even now, that song brings chills. I don't have words for that trailer. The graphics, direction, sound design, the emotion...and that haunting, bitter, sweet song. Later, I got my hands on the actual game, and it was a very special experience for a me as a young boy. It wasn't just a game, it was an experience. It taught me about love, war, revenge, beauty, the human condition, and so much more. That experience shaped me. I have since gone on many adventures, even to China, followed many dreams and done more than I could have ever imagined, and that game had a big part to play in it. Now, I'm making a game with unreal engine 5, it's been more than a few years, and you can bet there will be stealth, love, hate, despair and overcoming all odds for peace. I hope to finish it for when my son hits high school. He's only a few years old now, so I've got time. Just wanted to share my experience with you all. Thank you and all the best. Never give up.

A common misconception about this song is that most think it's about being with someone you love or losing them. If you pay close attention to the lyrics it's about what war does to the people involved (soldiers, civilians, families, etc.) which is why it's in a game centered around war.

[@gustavocolombo6841]

applies in another million circumstances, and the beauty of the game is because it is not just about war, for me MGS always has been the question, why we keep on killing each other with no reason?

[@NOMNOM81]

+100, that is pretty much what my friend said when he had translated the song for me a couple of years ago. He speaks Gaelic, his grandparents wanted to make sure he did and all. He was pretty surprised to hear such a song like this in a video game. Meant a lot to him since he was in the military, which actually helped gain him his citizenship, I have a lot of respect for him and all...

[@wesleybehan5420]

Something I don't see people mention about another poetic reason for this song choice, it's sung entirely in my countrys language of Gaeilge, a language that was stripped from our people due to occupation and rule from a tyrannical country. The language is close to dead with a very small amount of people in Ireland still being fluent in it, myself being one (though incredibly rusty since I haven't used it since school) The language was taken by force and in a sense was a casualty of war! Sounds like a theme straight out of the game! Love this choice and blows me away that one of the most popular games of all time has a song in it entirely in our language ❤️

[@6ch6ris6]

Kojima has a heart for the innocent and attacked. It is one of the leitmotifs in the metal gear (solid) series. The more I learn about Ireland, the more I wanna go there. Gaelic sounds beautiful. So sad when languages die out.

日本語歌詞 愛を覚えているかい 愛の感傷を覚えているかい 夜に聴く音楽だけが今 僕が永遠に愛するものなんだ 罪深い恋人よ 罪深い恋人よ 受け入れるんだ、君には出来る 受け入れてくれ、愛は生まれる 覚えているかい 満たされていた日々を 覚えているかい 笑っていた日々を この世は素晴らしいのさ 君がそれを信じるならば 向き合うんだ、現実に 僕たちの不変の愛に 毎日あの頃、何がおきたのかい 毎晩あの頃、何があったんだい 覚えているかい 君が悲嘆していた頃を 覚えているかい 止めどなく無く流した涙を 悪いのは僕かい、それとも君なの すり減ったようで失ったようで どうしてけんかして涙したんだろう この世には美があるのさ 君がそれを追い求めるなら 喜び溢れる驚きが、この世にはあるんだよ 一緒に探しに行こう

It's insane I was 10 years old and not understanding any of this after beating this game and now I do at age 32 looking up the ending theme.....Kojima is a master

[@LordEdegaru]

"The sun is still rising, Gods grace is still shining and America, The Best Is Yet To Come"

[@solidaz80]

Emotes the nostalgia of realising you experienced the best game ever....and THE Best MGS ever...Epic!

[@cedaelictwoo6514]

I hope MGS 5 isn't really the last game... Such a good franchise to see it fly away like that.

[@clydemccool9470]

Charles C unfortunately it is, but Hideo Kojima wants to redo all his other mgs games with the same engine and graphics as mgs 5

[@AJARyan-yn2uv]

Clyde McCool MGS is the last one? *starts to cry*

[@clydemccool9470]

Aye, I feel your pain. Metal Gear Solid series is my favourite of all games.

[@oniki4218]

Clyde McCool konami wont stop the MGS serie. They will keep it going without Kojima.

[@revnouken9913]

a remake of the 2 MSX games would be great.

[@jimboblue4146]

It's scary how bad my life is but how much I relate to this song I have this exact mentality even tho things couldn't be worse and I'll never give up hope no matter what I wish more people could appreciate what some video games are trying to do absolute beauty

[@your_net_bro]

To whomever translated this, guys/ladies, maybe for you it was job or a hobby, for me this song means a lot... Really thank you from the bottom of my heart for the translation. Before I fell in love with the song and the flow, now I can also know what it means and somehow I knew it deep within.. Thank you! :')

[@jamespollack5168]

Shadow Moses and BMTH bought me here

[@robertneville777]

James Pollack No idea what these two songs have in common

[@PowaBungaa]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGrTgZp4ocxngdU then check it out ;)

[@SilverFurredKage]

Oh WOW... I had no Idea how fitting this song was for the video I made with it: The Bliss GreyCloud Showcase ... So very awesome, thank you very much for posting it!!!

[@ExternalGod]

I know exactly what all of you mean about the childhood memories. I remember playing the demo when I was probably 6 years old. Even crying from parts of the game with Meryl etc when I was just a child. Definitely a game that can change people's outlook on life. Such good memories.. Even the ones making my fingers bleed from the torture scene lol. I downloaded it a few days ago from the PS3 store and I'm still amazed that a game could be so ahead of its time.

[@ConorChaos]

Big Boss is of Irish descent hence this playing for Snake.

"We have no nation, no philosophy, no ideology. We go where we're needed, fighting not for country, not for government, but for ourselves. We need no reason to fight. We fight because we are needed. We will be the deterrent for those with no other recourse. We are soldiers without borders, our purpose defined by the era we live in." -Big Boss

[@khanzheng647]

+ConorChaos We never learn his last name, unless you consider John Doe a name, so he could be of Irish descent

[@mrwiewiur39]

+Sergesh Dimitri I still wonder if he said it because he didn't want to tell his true name or just his parents were assholes. That would be really funny if he was indeed named John Doe though.

[@jacket2038]

No the reason it plays because it is a fitting end price for the game. It gives a hopeful message and the song can mean whatever you want to mean.

[@Nauhor011]

do we have any clues to his descent though? we never been fully introduced to his past there's very little to go on with

[@Zarkaithnia]

Saw this last night. Iisten to this all the time because it's such an amazing song. Reading the words though....WOW the feels!! This song sure made me cry because the feels were so strong. Truly one of the best songs out there. Not just anybody can tap into your emotions like that. I can't express enough how talented she is in vocals and writing this song. Bravo!!!!

[@solidrusdy5080]

Wtf who's cut onion here 😢

[@solidrusdy5080]

😭😂

[@AhmedAli-xp9vx]

Its such an incredible feeling that how one game can have such a big impact on your life in a positive way. Going back to anything related to this game brings out the best memories of my life, I forget all the pain and suffering and indulge myself in an endless trip to the happiest moments of my life.

[@TheInitiate]

'Sony is the shit in our mouths' a verse I can never forget

[@azizbash77]

i remember when the game came out in 2000 that me and my brother used to finish this game almost every 2 days just to keep listening to this song coz we didnt knw where to get it from... he passed away 3 years ago and still till this moment , whenever i listen to this song i remember every single moment we had together and get loads of tears in my eyes.. may god bless him . this song became a part of me , coz it spiritually reminds me of him . may god shower him with mercy. thnx for the upload.

[@gerry13cs]

what language is this?

[@GHxST_LXGACY]

gaelic (irish)

[@holynarwhale8729]

Gaelic i believe.

[@HilariousOperation]

Phew. For a born English speaker, I thought Irish would be an easy language to reproduce phonetically. But, it's proving harder than I first imagined. Still, I will learn this song by heart, even if it means taking a couple years of learning the entire Irish language to do it.

[@superserenajin]

Irish is INCREDIBLY different to English, like you can't compare the two :P hope your quest is faring well!

[@LetsStopThisSong]

bring me the horizon though

[@miguelmeza2nd]

Ah yes!! It feels great to be able to hear this with a couple taps on my phone!! Almost like all those times I'd beat this game just to hear the ending theme, it's almost like getting a retirement bonus!! Even tho I'm not and will not ever stop revisiting this game!! It's nice to not have to beat the game just to hear this 💎 gem

[@alexdeghost2729]

2:39 incorrect translation. It's "Sony is a shit in our mouths"

[@Blubberhirn1999]

Fuck you now i can't unhear it xD

[@alexdeghost2729]

- ̗̀MaHiR ̖́- :D

[@alucardleon708]

AlexDeGhost OMFG XD so funny man, but kinda ruins the moment

[@alexdeghost2729]

alucard Leon Kojima foreshadowing! :D

[@kento2851]

AlexDeGhost can you please stop with those stupid words it's not funny at all bro this is a beautiful song with powerful meaningful words so please stop it really ruins the moment

[@dancraggs]

Weird thing, I was the one who submitted this updated translation to the author of a popular walkthrough for the game. I had someone from a now-defunct Gaelic forum help me out with it. Funny how stuff lives forever on the internet, huh?

[@axevader280]

thank you for the accurate translation!

[@NightfallGemini]

keeping stuff like this alive is paramount. thank you.

[@MrYoungHegelian]

This should be The Notorious Conor McGregor's walk out song.

[@franciscojruiz3350]

MGS was my first PS game...this song is a beautifull travel to my past

[@Jazzertyy]

This song's name is so fitting. Not only was the best yet to come for Metal Gear Solid's Lore, with Liquid getting the crap beat out of him in MGS4, but also the games themselves. Look at MGS1, Blocky, polygonal, and amazing. Now MGSV, see, the best was yet to come.

[@sarthak889]

MGS 3,4 are better
