The Giant Demon God

"The Giant Demon God" Composed by Akira Ifukube Heard in King Kong vs. Godzilla, Space Amoeba, Godzilla vs. Destoroyah, Godzilla Island, Godzilla Minus One Sung for King Kong

For the character and film whose Japanese names also translate to "Giant Demon God," see Daimajin and Daimajin (film).

"The Giant Demon God" (巨大なる魔神,   Kyodainaru Majin), also called "The Song of Faro Island" (ファロ島の歌,   Farotō no Uta), is the main theme of the 1962 Toho film King Kong vs. Godzilla. It is a song the natives of Faro Island sing to appease their god King Kong, and is performed with lyrics three times in the film. An instrumental version of the theme is used to underscore Kong in many scenes. Composer Akira Ifukube reused this song as "The Prayer of Sergio Island" (セルジオ島の祈り,   Serujiotō no Inori) in Space Amoeba, though the lyrics were changed. "The Giant Demon God" is included in instrumental form in the end credits suite for Godzilla vs. Destoroyah, and is also part of "The Theme of GODZILLA" in the television show Godzilla Island, with the original lyrics included. Much like in Godzilla vs. Destoroyah, an instrumental version of "The Giant Demon God" is included in the soundtrack for Godzilla Minus One as part of the film's second suite.

Lyrics

Asi anaroi a seke samoai
Asi anaroi a seke samoai
Ke keletena ke keletena
Ina mang fanadoro sa qu tia
Ina mang fanadoro sa qu tia
Ke keletena ke keletena
Sikuna fanadoro onasaununafa
Sikuna fanadoro onasaununafa
Asi anaroi a seke samoai
Asi anaroi ona sau nunafa
Magu nu nitu magu nu nitu
Sikuna marikan sikuna marikan
Magu nu nitu ma gu nu nitu
Rau rau rau
