File:The Noble Haltmann - Full JOYSOUND Karaoke Version (English Subs)

Description
(Note: This is an unofficial fan translation, I myself only created the English translation, as well as the English and Romaji subtitles in this video. The video itself was made by Nintendo, HAL Laboratory, and Xing Inc.)

Around the time "Kirby: Planet Robobot" was released, so was this full Karaoke version of "The Noble Haltmann". Or rather, it's Japanese equivalent "銀河に名立たるハルトマン".

It was created to be featured on various titles of the "Karaoke JOYSOUND" franchise, such as "Nintendo×JOYSOUND Wii Karaoke U". I believe if you owned "Kirby: Planet Robobot", you could actually get this song for free on the 3DS's JOYSOUND application?

The first two verses in this one are identical to the ones that appear within "Kirby: Planet Robobot" itself, but the final verse seems to be exclusive to this version.

Since this version of the song is only available in Japanese, I wanted to give it an English translation and subtitles.

Here's some translation notes, for those who are interested:

Like I mentioned, this song is called "銀河に名立たるハルトマン" ("Ginga ni nadataru Haltmann") in Japanese. More literally translated, this would mean "The Galaxy-famous Haltmann". I tend to go with "Haltmann, Famed Across the Galaxy" instead, to make it feel a bit more pompous.

In any case, this name is probably an allusion to "銀河にねがいを" ("Ginga ni Negai o"), which means "Wish upon the Galaxy", and is the Japanese title of "Milky Way Wishes".

Note that in either case "Galaxy" could also be "Galaxies", since there is no clear distinction between singular and plural in Japanese. In the context of Milky Way Wishes, it seems to be a singular galaxy, so that's what I went with here, too.

This same ambigious singular/plural situation could apply to most nouns where context doesn't make it clear.

Also, in the line I translated as "The cerulean wings, flitting across the firmament", the word I translated as "firmament" is "宇宙". Normally, this word means "universe" or "space", but in this particular case, the furigana above it specify its reading as "そら", which means "sky".

This is probably meant to be a poetic little thing, but since you can't pull off the same thing in English, I went with the translation of "firmament", which sounds poetic and can arguably refer to both the sky and outer space.
