Duel of The Fates

Also knows as 'Darth Maul's Theme', Duel of the Fates is a theme from Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. It is widely regarded as one of the best Star Wars themes, perhaps second only to the main title theme song. The choir sections are in 'Sanskrit'. They are, and are translated, as follows: Sanskrit Khara Matha Khara Rath Amah Khara Rath Amah Yuddha Khara Khara Syada Rath Amah Dai Ya Khara Ki La Dan Ya Niha Ki La Khara Rath Amah Syada Ki La Khara Rath Amah Khara Dan Ya Khara Rath Amah Khara Dan Ya Khara Rath Amah Niha Ki La Khara Rath Amah Syada Ki La Khara Rath Amah Khara Khara Matha Khara Rath Amah Khara Dan Ya Khara Rath Amah Niha Ki La Khara Rath Amah Syada Ki La Khara Rath Amah Khara Translation Khara=dreadful Matha=head Rath=speak Amah=give Yuddha=battle Syada=raging Dai=purify Ya=going Ki=like The words should be pronounced as follows: Korah Matah Korah Rahtahmah Korah Rahtamah Yoodhah Korah Korah Syahdho Rahtahmah Daanyah Korah Keelah Daanyah Nyohah Keelah Korah Rahtahmah Syadho Keelah Korah Rahtahmah Korah Daanyah Korah Rahtahmah Korah Daanyah Korah Rahtahmah Nyohah Keelah Korah Rahtahmah Syadho Keelah Korah Rahtahmah Korah Korah Matah Korah Rahtahmah Korah Daanyah Korah Rahtahmah Nyohah Keelah Korah Rahtahmah Syadho Keelah Korah Rahtahmah Korah The lyrics were not written to make perfect sense, or sentences. They were instead written to describe a collection of feelings or emotions, and also to sound (in terms of the sound of the word) as dreadful and epic as possible.
