I'm moderating the comments section once again. Stop posting comments about how the Yoshis are saying something vulgar during the song, or I'll delete them.

The page turned and the Yoshis grew happier.

When the Yoshi said **unintelligible yoshi noises** I felt that.. 😞✊

I use to play this game with my mom when I was a child .... The song made my tears come out I miss my mom.... RIP

That moment when you realize this game was about finding happiness

Today Iwata died, and here I am, listening to this... I like to suffer....

As I was listening to this song, my mom had walked into my room and was about to tell me something, and stop to listen to this song. She then proceeds to say Mom: "Es el Yoshi?" Which in Spanish means "Is that Yoshi?" This goes to show how much I played this during my childhood and 20 years later, my mom still recognizes this song. That was a true blow to my feels.

The innocence and purity of this song is sad and depressing to me. Because i now know what a evil world this is, and the thought that most of us started out this innocent and then became corrupted and learned too much. We grew up and lost our innocence and purity.

Who'd have thought that an entry-level video game, designed for children and beginners, would have such an immense effect on Nintendo's flagship franchise?

This song actually brings tears to my eyes. YOSHI goes through with all this only because he and the other Yoshis want to be happy. That's it. For me, it's not that easy to be happy sometimes

In the 3rd grade, one of my best friends were moving away to Florida during spring break. We said goodbye to each other for the last time and on the drive home this song was playing in my head. It made me really sad. I think I cried. I hope he’s doing okay.

Dedicated to Iwata. And all the yoshis you let die on the way to the credits and watched get flown away.

It's completely normal to cry at this...Not only does it probably remind you of your childhoods, but the composer used a lot of 7th chords in this and they also alternate between major and minor throughout the whole piece, creating a "bittersweet" effect.

*close blinds* *lock doors* *sit down, listen to this song* *bawl uncontrollably*

Nostalgia can be your greatest enemy. But it can also be your best friend

And the Yoshis grew happier...

Still gets me crying, every time I hear it.

This song will forever live in my heart.

I always thought they were singing "The end, aww" or "Nin-ten-doooo"

1:55 Most misunderstood lyrics ever.

Everything about this song just screams long-lost childhood to me... For starters, the recorder reminds me of a child playing and accoustic guitar is, at least in my country, a very common instrument used at elementary school. Then we have the yoshis' singing, which is relatively dissonant, but dissonant in a highly charming way reminiscent of a group of young children singing. The glockenspiel at the end along with the ritardando and with the book closing feels like your mother just read you a bedtime story and you're slowly falling asleep, already looking forward to the next day. To top it all off, the chords played by the guitar keep alternating between major and minor and there are many 7(9) chords and diminished chords among them, making for a extremely bittersweet feeling. No wonder many of us get emotional listening to this, especially if this was part of our childhood. The composer knew exactly what he was doing here. This game has a truly underrated soundtrack in my opinion. Also, I'm reading way too much into this.

This song’s gonna play at my funeral someday; it’ll be the ending of another story. This game was special to me as a kid as it was my first, and I still cherish it today at 25

Great memories. "And the yoshis lived happily ever after. The End."

1.Listen to the song 2.Remember your whole childhood of playing the game and the Nintendo 64 3.Try not to cry 4.Lay down 5.Proceed to cry

And the yoshis live happily ever after 💜💜💜

Dat guitar.

Joshi singing about doing some crazy stuff with the other Joshis is wild

My mom would watch me play this game and it just brings me back to a time where things where magical

I’m 34 and 😭🤧. My husband just put this on his Switch and I was playing last night and beat the stage. He heard the Yoshi sounds and heard the Yoshis singing this and he commented that this was the cutest song. I’m pregnant with my first and they said they said the baby might have Trisomy. I really hope not, I always thought I’d play Yoshi’s Story with my baby. I’ll be using several Yoshi tracks to rock him to sleep.

Yoshi is still calling me an Asshole all these years.

This seriously needs a Morgan Freeman Narration.

For those with dirty minds, the lyrics to the song are actually the Japanese romanization for 'The end', *_Za Endo_*. I hope this clears the issue up.

Wanna know what I hear? The yoshis sound like they are singing NIN TENDO.

Why is this bringing me to tears ; - ;

yoshi sayin some freak stuff dawg...

siempre lloro con este tema, me recuerda a mi infancia y lo feliz que era ....

Was randomly listening to some old video game music when this song came up in the side bar. Clicked on it and was enjoying how soothing this piece was and remembering the game. All of a sudden 1:55 hit and the little Yoshies started to sing and... I have no idea why but I just started to cry. Not sobbing with sadness or anything but the tears just started to flow and they wouldn't stop and I was smiling the whole time as well. Every now and again I come back and listen to this piece and have a good cry, I know how weird that sounds but it just has that effect on me and it actually leaves me feeling pretty good afterwards.

This is a perfect example of “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened “

I bet that Iwata is playing video games with Caleb Logan in heaven! RIP Iwata, it's been a year:(

This literally has me in tears right now 😭 so many memories!!!

I am a fully grown 20 year old man and this ending STILL gets me every time. It's unbelievable how touching it is.

I loved how the green yoshi filled the yellow one up in the end

This Ending of Yoshi's Story is so sad 🙁😓😢😢😢😢😭

A minute of silence to those who still can't find this masterpiece

I speak yoshi and this is nasty fr

This song gets me a little chocked up :'). Remember when Nintendo use to make good games. This is my story. Yoshis story.

This song drives me to those tomes when I was a happy child 17 years ago. I remember I received this videogame for Christmas in 1998. Good old times that will never come back. I am now crying now. Such bittersweet memories that will never come back again. I got chills when I listened to it again. Thanks for posting this.

This song never fails to make me cry! Everytime I listen to it, I break into tears...

That's a lot of Yoshi's for one bed...

this is just one of those tracks that make you appreciate video games

Imagine this played at a Funeral That would be something else What a way to go out

This is one of my favorite video game ending songs. I vaguely remember being blown away by the N64 being able to make this level of quality sound.

This is the one videogame song that really hit's me :'(

The end, ohh... The end, ohh... The end, ohh... The end, ohhhhhh... Also, 3:29 always gets me the most.

I remember when I was young when I had this game on N64, I started to cry a little after wards..Thank you Mr. Iwata. :'c

🎶🎶🎶We Thank You🎶🎶🎶

Most wholesome game in the history of gaming

As a kid, I always heard "We fell in love" which made sense to me because the game had a lot of elements of love. But from when I was seven to this day, I still shed tears of joy! I love this game so much!

Hits me right in the chest everytime

My father bought this game for me on my 11th birthday back in June 1998. When I first heard this song, it made me tear up a bit because of how sad but melancholic and uplifting. Now 23 years later, I can't listen to this song without tearing up with tears of joy of how the Yoshi's are happy they got their fruit tree back. This is the kind of music you can read through your old photo album of you or your children and family cry tears of joys reminiscing about the good old days of your childhood innocence.

I love how one of the yoshi lags behind in the second half, as if not remembering the song and imitating the peers

its literally impossible for me not to bawl my eyes out while listening to this

I love this track! I remember it always made me cry as a kid.

I don't play this game but this song makes me think about the memories I have with my Dad, RIP 😢

THE AAAAAAAAAAAAPPLEEEEEEEEEEEES~!

I know they be riding mario

The Super Happy Tree was back. The Yoshis jumped for joy with their fruity snack. And the Yoshis lived happily ever after.

I literally never played this game as a kid and the music still makes me cry for a childhood memory I never had

this song would be easier to find if it was called "Eeeh Aaah Ooooh"

The yoshis are now ready to ride Mario….

Gonna play this in my funeral 😤🔥

Hear this song Un-dust that nintendo 64 Search like a maniac yoshi's story Finish the game just to hear the song again

i like to imagine K.K. Slider playing the guitar, a few yoshis standing there and singing this, pikachu and kirby hopping around on the drums and link playing the ocarina/flute in this. on iwata's funeral...

A lot of people say "I wish I could go back to my childhood". Meanwhile, I simply say "I'm glad it happened".

The yoshis are saying they killed someone family and they are a part of a huge drug dealing business trust

Man who would’ve thought that years later I would be showing my kids this song telling them this is what I used to jam out too 😅. The nostalgia….how life was so simple as a kid! 🥲🥲🥲

This brings back childhood memories. It touches my heart and brought me to tears. ❤💙🧡

I had a dog I really loved growing up. I liked to think Kiki was yoshi and I was Mario. This song is in a playlist that makes me think of her and thanks to her I probably am the person I am today. I got a new puppy a year ago and I named him Yoshi.

This song was a huge part of what led me to realize that I didn't appreciate this game enough. It has become far and away my favorite song from any video game ever. It helped get me through this past summer, which was an ugly 3 months. I love how this song and this game heavily symbolize happiness. I will likely be playing the game again this weekend. Such great times, those used to be...

this almost made me cry

this makes me both happy and sad at the same time omg

I cry every time xD

"And in the end it came to pass, the super happy tree was found at last. The Yoshis had broken Bowsers spell--a tale for all the isle to tell. And the Yoshi’s lived happily ever after."

This song brings tears to my eyes. I can actually feel the warmth and happiness from it. These newer games have nothing on these older games. These games had real heart...

i legit remember crying to this song

Oh my gosh... I remember well over 10 years ago I first played this game and got to the end and BALLED my eyes out at this song! My older sister thought it was hilarious. Even now, at almost 20 years old, I feel like crying listening to this.

I cried when I first heard this

It's been a year since Iwata passed away. I'm listening to this to remember all the beautiful moments that he has created.

I wish they played this at my high school graduation ceremony

This song just reminds me of how much happier I was as a kid. How pure I was playing this game. I wish I could have spent an eternity as the little 6 year old boy I was. Why did I have to go and grow up? In any case, there’s some kid out there right now enjoying their 6 years of happiness. I hope they don’t take the time for granite and will be able to look back and be as happy about their childhood as I do.

Personally, since i was little Ive come to the conclusion that they say, "Be Careful." Haha

1:55 is beautiful. I had tears in my eyes. 🥹

Once I beat this game, I was more than satisfied to know the end was there, with a memorable music track waiting for me that told me that the worst has finally been passed and I've made it to the end...finally. And all this over some tree. A Fruity, Hearty Tree with fruits galore, but if Baby Bowser wanted that, he could have asked his minions to grow him some. But like a pesky, snotty, selfish, brat. He just had to do things his way. And he got spanked for it.

Lyrics 0:18 We, have had fun all the way, But it’s time to say. Goodbye, Farewell, See you later, So Long, Thank You, Until Then. Thank you for all you, have done! 0:52 Thanking you, yes you right there, Coming to our aid. Wouldn’t have got-ten our tree back, If it wasn’t, for this guy. So we owe this song, to you! 1:18 We’ve won the game, With all, your help. We have, earned back, Our happy tree! 1:43 With, the tree grasped in our hands, We, return to our home! 1:55 Thank You, so much, For all, your help! Coul-dn’t have done, It with-out you! 2:16 We owe, this song, Especially. To the, player, That helped us through! 2:38 We owe, you one, Here is, to you, With tree, in hand, We head for home! 2:57 Now comes, the time, To say, goodbye Farewell, old friend, We’ll see, you soon! 3:29 Thank, you for playing, Our fun game, See you real soon!

Going through all the old N64 games’s OST, found my way to this and this was the song to get me to tears

Okay the part where the Yoshi's start signing at 1:55 was the most adorable thing I've ever heard. I actually started crying, I'm 16 and I never even played this game but this sounds amazing. I was literally like "I'm actually f***ing crying omg" it was the cutest thing I've ever heard. Also funny thing, I've actually only played one Yoshi game which was Yoshi's New Island for the 3DS, I loved that game as a kid I even 100% completed it, but for someone reason many people disliked it which was really upsetting to me because I loved that game as a kid, it was fun to play and I liked the music and if younger me was willing to sit there and 100% complete the game then I definitely loved it.

When you're happy, you enjoy the music but when you're sad, you undestand the lyrics.

the yoshis are planning their next war against bowser

Did you know? Nintendo has made a Nintendo land remix of it, it's called Yoshi's fruit cart: Night stages, go check it out if you enjoy it. But yes this theme made me cry for the first time listening to it at night, I couldn't stop crying but it's just so beautiful

2020? I remember playing this when I was a kid 😩 damn very nostalgic
