English[edit]
Through Concordia the Bros. set sail
Together they adventure without fail
From jungles to deserts and plenty more
They'll connect the islands, shore to shoreYo ho, bro-oh
Sail across the mighty seas
Yo ho, bro-oh
With Mario and LuigiConnie here will gladly assist
She's a kind and budding Wattanist
Snoutlet has joined them on this gig
Who's definitely (maybe?) not a pigYo ho, bro-oh
Look at all the friends they'll meet
Yo ho, bro-oh
Mario and Lui—geez!The baddies are here! What will they do?
Jump or hammer or a dodge or two?
Or special attacks that can wallop foes?
What's gonna happen? Get 'em Bros.!Mario and Luigi, brave and strong
Nothing can break their brotherly bond
And with their crew, the Bros. are set
It's a voyage that's all-hands-on-deck!Yo ho, bro-oh
They'll reconnect these distant lands
Yo ho, bro-oh
And the journey will be grandYo ho, bro-oh
Sail across the mighty seas
Yo ho, bro-oh
Mario and Luigi
