Lyrics and Translations

Composer Bear McCreary has given his permission to Battlestar Wiki to post the lyrics and translations for the Battlestar Galactica soundtracks. From the booklet accompanying the CD, the lyrics and translations for the musical tracks in the Season 1 CD are:

Wander My Friends

Lyrics (in Gaelic):	English translation:
Siúlaigí a chairde, siúlaidh liom Mar cheo an tsléibhe uaine ag imeacht go deo D'ainneoin ár dtuirse leanfam an tslí Thar chnoic is thar ghleannta go deireadh na scríbi Seo libh a chairde is canaidh liom Líonaigí'n oíche le greann is le spórt Seo sláinte na gcarad atá imithe uainn Mar cheo an tsléibhe uaine, iad imithe go deo	Wander my friends, wander with me Like the mist on the green mountain, moving eternally Despite our weariness we'll follow the road Over hilland and valleys to the end of the journey Come on my friends and sing with me Fill the night with joy and sport Here's a health to the friends who have gone from us Like the mist of the green mountain, gone forever

Battlestar Operatica

Lyrics (in Italian):	English translation:
Maledetto sia tuo cuore Cylone C'è una tostapane nella tua testa E porta tachi a spillo Numero Sei ti chiama Il rivelatore Cylone impone La tua ragazza è un tostapane Maledetto sia tuo cuore Cylone Ahimè, disgrazia! Ahimè, tristezza e miseria! Il tostapane ha un bel vestito Rosso come la sua spina dorsale ardente sussura Numero Sei: "Per tuo commando"	Woe upon your Cylon heart There's a toaster in your head And it wears high heels Number Six calls to you The Cylon Detector beckons Your girlfriend is a toaster Woe upon your Cylon heart Alas, disgrace! Alas, sadness and misery! The toaster has a pretty dress Red like it's glowing spine Number Six whispers: "By your command"

Kobol's Last Gleaming

Lyrics (in Latin):	English translation:
Omnia illa et ante fiebant omnia illa et rursus fient Ita dicimus omnnes.	All of this has happened before And all of this will happen again So say we all

Bloodshed

Lyrics (in Latin):	English translation:
Eventus cum paucis faverent pugnam lacesserunt in domo deorum	Though the outcome favored the few it led to a confrontation At the Home of the Gods

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: SEASON ONE SOUNDTRACK TO BE RELEASED BY LA-LA LAND RECORDS ON JUNE 21

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA TOUTED AS ONE OF THE TOP 10 SHOWS CURRENTLY ON TV BY TIME MAGAZINE AND TV GUIDE

(May 16, 2005- New York, NY) – Considered one of the top 10 shows currently on TV by Time Magazine and TV Guide, Battlestar Galactica is the #1 show on the Sci Fi Channel. On June 21, La-La Land Records will release the Battlestar Galactica: Season One soundtrack, featuring more than 78 minutes of the best musical moments from season one of this highly acclaimed new series.

Battlestar Galactica: Season One contains both the US and UK main title themes as well as music composed by Bear McCreary for the series, which TV Guide declared “a breakaway hit…poised to replace Star Trek as TV’s definitive sci-fi series.” The CD packaging features exclusive liner notes from McCreary and the show’s executive producer David Eick.

Composer Bear McCreary is a classically trained composer with a degree in Composition and Recording Arts from the prestigious USC Thornton School of Music. He has composed score for over thirty independent films, including director Jon Chu’s musical short When the Kids Are Away and the Discovery Channel miniseries The 5 Coolest Things. McCreary was among a handful of select composers to have studied independently with the late film music legend Elmer Bernstein (The Magnificent Seven).

While some of the names may be the same, this is not your father’s Battlestar Galactica! Captain (sic) “Husker” Adama (Edward James Olmos) and President Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell) lead the Battlestar Galactica crew. They are trying to locate the fabled 13th Colony of humans, planet Earth, to join with their brethren against the Cylons which have taken over their homeland. The Cylons, which can look like humans and even be programmed to think they are, aren’t the only threat, as morale and the quantity of supplies are always an issue. In an interesting casting choice, Richard Hatch (who played Captain Apollo in the original series), is cast as villain Tom Zarek, a political prisoner who has spent the past 20 years in jail for his participation in the bombing of a government building.

"With its unique combination of intricate character arcs, dark ambience and gritty battle sequences, Battlestar Galactica afforded me countless opportunities for musical exploration,” said McCreary. “Fans will immediately recognize all their favorite musical moments from the first season, including the lush orchestral works featured in the dynamic two-part season finale. I am extremely proud of this collection and look forward to continuing this musical journey into the second season and beyond."

The second season of Battlestar Galactica will begin airing in July on the Sci Fi Channel. The Battlestar Galactica: Season One soundtrack will be available in stores or from www.lalalandrecords.com on June 21, 2005. The soundtrack from the Battlestar Galactica mini-series is also available from La-La Land Records.
