Destati

Destati is a music track in Kingdom Hearts. It was used as the piece of music when introducing Kingdom Hearts to the gaming world for the very first time. In Italian, Destati means "Awaken", which goes with the theme of the conflict of light over darkness. Sections of the track were reused in "Dive into the Heart" during the tutorial in both Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II. The tension part of this music was reused with changed lyrics for "Guardando Nel Buio" in the final boss battle against "Ansem" in the first game.

Original Italian Lyrics Destati! Tendi la mano! E'giunta l'ora, Destati Le porte verranno schiuse Destati, Destati, Destati E'giunta l'ora! Su rimembra tu trepida! Su sveglia! Ehi ricorda! Destati! Destati! Forza, tendi la mano! Destati! Destati! E'giunta l'ora! E ancora una volta Apriranno le porte! Su rimembra tu trepida! Su sveglia! Ehi ricorda! Eh? Come? Non lo vuoi!? Tuttavia t'appartiene Cio che hai perduto Diventera uno!

English Translation Awaken! Tighten your hand! It is time Awaken The door will open Awaken, Awaken, Awaken It is time! Recall your fear! Wake up! Remember! Awaken! Awaken! Tighten your hand Awaken! Awaken! It is time! Once again, Open the door! Recall your fear! Wake up! remember!, Eh? What? You do not want it? That which still belongs to you, That which you possess is lost, Become one!

Literal Translation

You awake!
Tighten your hand!
It is time: you rise

The door will be closed, open it again
You awake, You awake, You awake

It is time!

Remember the emotion!
Then you awake! And you recall!

You awake! You awake!
Tighten your hand
You awake! You awake!
It is time

Once again
Open the door!

Remember the emotion
Then you awake! And you recall!

Huh? What? You do not want it!?
That still belongs to you
All that you lost
Will do nothing anymore but one!
