[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Here's what DeCandido wrote in his book. This is supposedly in original Klingon, with the native letters replaced by their accepted Latin counterparts, and not just a phonetic rendition. Be warned that about half the l-like letters there are in fact capital i's, although this stupid font doesn't differentiate: [i]Qoy qeylIs puqloD. Qoy puqbe'pu'. yoHbogh matlhbogh je SuvwI'. Say'moHchu' may''Iw. maSuv manong 'ej maHoHchu'. nI'be'yInmaj 'ach wovqu'. batlh maHeghbej 'ej yo' qIjDaq vavpu'ma' DImuv. pa' reH maSuvtaHqu'. mamevQo'. maSuvtaH. ma'ov.[/i] And here's the translation: [i]Hear! Sons of Kahless. Hear! Daughters, too. The blood of battle washes clean the warrior brave and true. We fight, we love, and then we kill. Our lives burn short and bright. Then we die with honor and join our fathers in the Black Fleet where we battle forever, battling on through the eternal fight.[/i] Interesting to hear that the Black Fleet, a John M. Ford concept, is actually a canonical fact now... In any case, this is not the drinking song of Worf and Kor - that song seems to tell about Kahless and Molor instead of going to battle, and I haven't seen it written down anywhere. This does, however, seem to be the song from "Birthright" and "Soldiers of the Empire". Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
