About This Track

Also knows as ‘Darth Maul’s Theme’, Duel of the Fates is a theme from Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. It is widely regarded as one of the best Star Wars themes, perhaps second only to the main title theme song.

The choir sections are in ‘Sanskrit’. They are, and are translated, as follows:

Sanskrit
Khara Matha Khara Rath Amah
Khara Rath Amah Yuddha Khara
Khara Syada Rath Amah Dai Ya
Khara Ki La Dan Ya
Niha Ki La Khara Rath Amah

Syada Ki La Khara Rath Amah
Khara Dan Ya Khara Rath Amah
Khara Dan Ya Khara Rath Amah
Niha Ki La Khara Rath Amah
Syada Ki La Khara Rath Amah
Khara
Khara Matha Khara Rath Amah
Khara Dan Ya Khara Rath Amah
Niha Ki La Khara Rath Amah
Syada Ki La Khara Rath Amah
Khara

Translation
Khara=dreadful
Matha=head
Rath=speak
Amah=give
Yuddha=battle
Syada=raging
Dai=purify
Ya=going
Ki=like

The words should be pronounced as follows:

Korah Matah Korah Rahtahmah
Korah Rahtamah Yoodhah Korah
Korah Syahdho Rahtahmah Daanyah
Korah Keelah Daanyah
Nyohah Keelah Korah Rahtahmah

    If someone ever challenges me to a fight to the death, my only request will be that this is blaring loudly in the background. [7]

    The ONE good thing to come out of the prequels.

    v [2] I couldn't agree with you more, also about RotS being the second best movie after TESB.

    I don't get the hate towards the prequels. After ESB, the Revenge of the Sith is the second best movie (in my opinion) of all the saga. I agree that Jar Jar was kinda foolish and the movie when compared to the older movies, felt a little bit underwhelming...but that was because it was setting up the stage to the other movies. By its nature it was underwhelming, not due to how bad/good it was directed etc. Nevertheless, I could love EP 1. for just one thing: the Duel on Theed and the Duel of the Fates accompanying it.

    For all my dislike for the prequel trilogy, this is a great composition - almost as great as The Imperial March!

    its a tough call as to which is less bad, but I'd have to choose episode I over episode II (episode III beats them both) solely because of the soundtrack and this song in particular.
