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. Bits were reused in "Dive into the Heart" during the tutorial in both Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2. 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 English Translation

Destati! Tendi la mano E'giunta l'ora, destati Le porte verranno schiuse

You awake! Tighten your hand It is time: you raise The door will be closed, open it again

Su rimembra tu trepida Su sveglia! Ehi ricorda

Remember the emotion Then you awake! And you recall

Destati, Destati Forza, tendi la mano Destati, Destati, E'giunta l'ora

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

E ancora una volta Apriranno le porte

Once again Open the door

Su rimembra tu trepida Su sveglia! Ehi ricorda

Remember the emotion Then you awake! And you recall

Eh? Come? Non lo vuoi? Tuttavia t'appartiene Cio che hai perduto Diventera uno!

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