Mother 3 Love Theme

"MOTHER 3 Love Theme" as it is heard in Chapter 1.

The Mother 3 Love Theme is the main theme of Mother 3, frequently associated with Lucas and his family. Composed by Shogo Sakai, it is a short and simple melody, and can be seen as a parallel to the Eight Melodies from EarthBound Beginnings and EarthBound. A vocal version of the song sung by Taeko Onuki can be found on the Mother 3+ album. A remix of the song also appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and is available in the My Music for New Pork City.

深い闇 遠い町 知らないことば ざわめく 迷い子の 悲しみを 拾い集めて たどろう 何処に いても わたしは いのち あなたの あたたかな ひとときと あたたかな夢 見せたい 幼な子の 微笑みは まぶたのなかに いまでも 呼べば 届く きっと いつか振り向く ただひとり 道を行く 小さきものに あかりを ただひとり 道を行く 小さきものに あかりを	fukai yami tooi machi shiranai kotoba zawameku mayoigo no kanashimi o hiroi atsumete tadorô doko ni ite mo watashi wa inochi, anata no atataka na hitotoki to atataka na yume misetai osanago no hohoemi wa mabuta no naka ni ima demo yobeba todoku kitto itsuka furimuku tada hitori michi o yuku chiisaki mono ni akari o tada hitori michi o yuku chiisaki mono ni akari o	Deep darkness, a distant town, murmurs of unknown words Let's gather up the sadness of the lost child and set out No matter where I am, I will still be your life I want to show you a warm-hearted moment and a warm-hearted dream Even now, I can see the little child's smile when I close my eyes If I call out, I'm certain he'll turn around when my voice reaches him Give light to the small one, who walks his path alone Give light to the small one, who walks his path alone	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 who's lost his way... Help him prepare. While apart, understand, I will live my life for you wherever I am. It's 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. 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.

Trivia

• The Mother 3 Love Theme was created fairly late in development, at first specifically for "an extremely important scene", implied to be the final battle against the Masked Man. The battle was originally supposed to have the recurring Pigmask theme, although it was eventually decided that it was necessary to have a different melody that would stir up more emotional impact.
• The lyrics of the song are most likely from the persective of Hinawa.
