The Noble Haltmann

"The Noble Haltmann" ("銀河に名立たるハルトマン" Ginga ni Nadataru Harutoman Galactically Famed Haltmann in Japanese) is the theme song of the Haltmann Works Company in Kirby: Planet Robobot. It is the leitmotif for many tracks in the game's soundtrack and the first vocal theme of the Kirby series.

The song was originally composed by Hirokazu Ando as VS. The Wicked Company at the direction of Shinya Kumazaki, and then adjusted and fitted lyrics at the need of a cutscene with a company theme song. An extended version of the song was featured in the Karaoke Joysound franchise. Makiko Ohmoto, the voice actor of Susie, performed the first half of the song in an audio drama during the Kirby 25th Anniversary Orchestra Concert, where it was referred to as the Song of Wishes.

Noble Haltmann, we adore him

Noble Haltmann, we adore him

Kingly lord of time and space!

Every day we wish him glory,

Every day we wish him glory,

Gazing on his noble face!

Master, crush the competition!

In your presence let us stay!

Yours is every star and planet

Now and ever, night and day!

We implore you, dear Haltmann

We implore you, dear Haltmann

Bless our work and be at ease!

Pay and ergonomic seating,

Pay and ergonomic seating,

Give us favors such as these!

All we wish for you our lord is

That you never lead us wrong!

Rule us all, beloved Haltmann!

That we may all sing our song!

 * Translation by KaiAlone

Oh, great Haltmann

Oh, great Haltmann

May you prosper, unending, for all eternity!

Oh, we are Haltmann

Oh, we are Haltmann

The sovereign, famed across the galaxy!

Once we twine the stars

And offer it all

Lead every one of us to the promised land,

O galactic Father!

Oh, shine brilliantly, Haltmann

Oh, shine brilliantly, Haltmann

In the past, in the future, in the present!

Oh, praise Haltmann 

Oh, praise Haltmann

If you praise and wish, it will be granted!

The cerulean wings, flitting across the firmament,

And the roseate flower, singing dreams

Our hearts, we will even offer our bodies

To our Father!

Oh, worship Haltmann

Oh, worship Haltmann

Absolute loyalty to our lord!

Oh, make a wish, Haltmann 

Oh, make a wish, Haltmann

Believe in the incarnation of gold!

The attained ambitions are fleeting 

The memories gradually vanish into the distance

Gazing towards the gears that cross time,

And wishing, so is Father.
