Game appearances[edit]

Kirby Star Allies[edit]

The "Song of Supplication" first appears in this game, as the boss battle theme for Francisca and Flamberge, as well as the first phase of The Three Mage-Sisters when they are fought in Heroes in Another Dimension. This version can be found as track 051 in the Kirby Star Allies Jukebox.

A rock arrangement of the "Song of Supplication" also plays during Zan Partizanne's boss battle. It is called "A Forgotten Flash of Lightning". This version can be found as track 057 in the Jukebox.

Besides these two main versions, "Song of Supplication" appears in various tracks as one of the recurring motifs in the game:

"A Rude Awakening" — the opening cutscene and track 004. The majority of the first section is based on the extended version of "Song of Supplication" from "Suite: The Star-Conquering Traveler" (detailed below).
"Towara's Ancient Towers" — stage theme for Planet Towara and Gabbel Moon, track 066. The ending section features a loose flute variant of "Song of Supplication", bright yet nostalgic in character.
"Suite: The Star-Conquering Traveler" — themes for Void Termina, track 114. "Song of Supplication" is featured prominently, joined in the later movements by "Green Greens". There are two primary variants: one similar to that heard in the base track, and one extended to a more elaborate period, identifiable by a rising interval at the end of the initial motif.
"Last Friends" — ending cutscene theme, track 118. The version of "Song of Supplication" from "Suite: The Star-Conquering Traveler" follows up on the preceding battle.
"Having Watched You All Along" — main staff credits theme, track 119. A major version of "Song of Supplication" is featured in the second half of the theme.
"The Three Mage-Sisters Return... the Favor!" — Dream Friend fanfare of The Three Mage-Sisters, track 141.
"Let Them Know We're Happy" — theme for the eponymous Celebration Picture and track 229, a slow major arrangement of "Song of Supplication" combined with "La follia d'amore".

Lyrics[edit]

Dutch and Italian translations.

The lyrics are found in the special pages for Francisca, Flamberge and Zan Partizanne during their battles on the Infernal Crisis and Soul Melter difficulties of The Ultimate Choice. It should be noted that, much like "The Noble Haltmann", these lyrics are only implied, and never sung directly in-game.

Ondanks alles, hoor ons gesmeek! Laat ons toch niet in de steek! Ondanks alles, dit lied voor jou! Wees onze redding, laat ons niet in de kou! Ondanks alles, nog steeds verdriet!

Ondanks alles, een conclusie... Ondanks alles, slechts een illusie. Hoor ons verzoek, ons begeren! (Ons begeren!) En laat de harten wederkeren!
Italian	Questa è la nostra supplica, fredda come il ghiaccio, dura come la roccia! Questa è la nostra supplica, a te ci rivolgiamo, in solitudine ti invochiamo. La prova superiamo in tre ricongiunte, a te ci prostriamo! Questa é la supplica che a te rivolgiamo, aiutaci e conduci tutte noi per mano. Nella nostra supplica, cresce la tristezza. Nella nostra supplica, aumenta la mestizia. Ti invochiamo e ti sogniamo. Nella nostra supplica, il tuo regno inizia. Questa è la nostra supplica, fredda come il ghiaccio, dura come la roccia, un sogno, un incanto. Odi la nostra supplica e lasciaci il nostro cuore affranto.
