Hi, I'm looking for some Klingon Folk Songs,

I've found this one:

jI'ojtaH nuqvaD?	What do I thirst for?
maqettaH. DebDaq maqettaH 'ej bIQ manejtaH. 'Iwmaj pubtaH Hov. bIQ vIjatlaH. So'lu'pu' lan peghDaq, 'a pegh vISov. bIQ nejwI' ghaH may'wI': may' teH ghaH may'wI' tIqDaq. teH Dunbej law'qu' 'ach lutmey Dunlaw' puS. jImay''eghtaHchugh, jIchargh'eghtaH je. Qapla'!	We run. Through the desert we run, and look for water. The sun boils our blood. I can taste the water. It is hidden in a secret place, but I know the secret. Who seeks the water is a warrior: the true battle is in the warrior's heart. Legends are said to be great, but truth is greater indeed. If I am battling myself, I am conquering too. Success!
boqwIj 'oH Hal boqmaj. Sov'eghbogh HoS, 'ej tammoH Qo'bogh tun. DaH pungbe' 'Iw chuS QoywIjDaq yuv tammoH 'ej chuSDaq jIQoy. tujtaHbogh SuS 'ej tomtaHbogh qemtaH jev, 'ej jI'ojtaH. bIQ vIneQtaHbogh 'oH 'Iw. yIn Hegh je SuvDaq jIlegh'egh. may' rInbe'qu'. 'oH wIjeylaHbe'bogh maSuvtaH. boqvamDaq che'bejtaH roj, 'ej veSmaj maSuvbejtaH poHpu' poHDaq. Qapla'!	My alliance is the source of our alliance. There is strength in knowing oneself, and softness in refusing the silence. Now silence pushes unrelenting against the rush of blood in my ears and in the roar I hear it. The storm brings a wind which is hot and quiet, and I thirst. The water I want is blood. In life and death's struggle I see myself: The battle is unending. We fight the undefeatable. In this alliance peace will reign, and our war will go on forever. Success!

Does anyone know anymore?

Thanks

Klingon

Star trek fan extraordinaire...all things changed when I found out he'd actually been to a Star Trek convention...

So you dumped your partner just because he went to a Star Trek convention?

You don't sound very nice, to me

Hille,

Klingon music is normally accompanied by a drone

Tune every string to D (assuming that you are playing a guitar) and strum very slowly - that would be a fair approximation

Deserts?

I thought Klingons were more into opera than folk music

more importantly - what is the tune for this cheerful little ditty? I'm assuming the key is "sharp"

Guest.... of course I didn't dump him because he went to a Star Trek convention, I would never be so small minded or for that manner so hurtful against someone's hobby..

But, the above was a light hearted comment, and always something I teased him about. And something even he would laugh about.

There were a multitude of reasons, more than I would care to go in to with anyone else. Nothing so shallow as the above, and I am a little annoyed that you have been so quick to assume from what I typed in, there fore please note;

Please don't be so quick to pidgeon hole people by their comments.

...you don't sound like a nice person to me, based on one short sentance, is not a very clear judgement!

I actually used to have a laugh watching star trek - though I never used to take it as serious as he did.

(Another non trekkie, but with who used to liked sitting thru an episode, just so I could giggle at the program.)

Anyway, here is a site with The Internationale in Klingon, together with the Klingon Song of Revolution. Unfortunately no audio files.

If it's really a drone, you don't need the audio. Klingons sing a lot, but in the party scenes, they mostly have large steins of ale - no musical instruments, unlike the Vulcans (who can forget Spock jamming with the space hippies?)

Of course Klingon music is folk music. You ain't never heard no Vulcans sing it, have you? (:-)

I wonder if there are Klingon shanties, or chanteys, or whatever THEY call 'em.;-)

Klongon being, of course, an ancient alternative spelling for Klingon, always used by true scholars: although a Klingon broadside could be misinterpreted...

Of course, in archaic Klingon a "K" would never be used in the written text. This carries over into spoken Klingon as the "c" is less glottal in speech than the k.
