Lyrics

Several of the songs on this soundtrack have lyrics.

Battlestar Operatica

• The lyrics for this song are sung in Italian.

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 its glowing spine

Number Six whispers

By your command

Wander My Friends

• The lyrics for this song are sung in Irish by Irish singer Lillis Ó Laoire. This track was played at the conclusion of The Hand of God during the celebration after the pilots' return to Galactica.

(in Irish)

Siulaigi a chairde, siulaidh liom

Mar cheo an tsleibhe uaine ag

imeacht go deo

D’ainneoin ar dtuirse leanfam an tsli

Thar chnoic is thar ghleannta

go deireadh na scrib’

Seo libh a chairde is canaidh liom

Lionaigi’n oiche le greann is le sport

Seo slainte na gcarad ata imithe uainn

Mar cheo an tsleibhe uaine,

iad imithe go deo

(English translation)

Wander my friends, wander with me

Like the mist on the green mountain, moving eternally

Despite our weariness, we'll follow the road

Over hills 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

Kobol's Last Gleaming

• The lyrics for this song are sung in Latin.

All of this has happened before

And all of this will happen again

So say we all

Bloodshed

• The lyrics for this song are sung in Latin. It was played over the chaotic events at the end of the Season 1 finale, Kobol's Last Gleaming (2).

Though the outcome favored the few

It led to a confrontation

At the home of the Gods

Main Title (UK Version)

• The lyrics for this song are in Sanskrit—they are the Gayatri mantra, the most revered mantra in Hinduism. This was the UK main theme song for season 1, and as of S2E01 it became the main theme of the US version as well.

OM bhūr bhuvah svah

tat savitur varēnyam

bhargō dēvasya dhīmahi

dhiyō yō nah pracōdayāt

• This can be translated in many different ways, and one of the possible translations is:

O earth, atmosphere, heaven:

May we attain that excellent glory of Savitr the God:

So may he stimulate our prayers
