What are the lyrics in a Klingon song?

Answer 1

There are a number of Klingon songs that were sung in Star Trek. This first one is from the episode of Deep Space Nine where Martok is captain of a Bird of Prey and Worf is his first officer. The bridge crew sings this. 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. This next one was sung by the Klingons living on the Romulan world who were captured survivors of Khitomer. This was the two-part episode of The Next Generation that featured Deep Space Nine in the first part. The song is in Klingon, then pronouncition. bah-dah too-moh Bagh Da tuH mogh Fire streaks the heavens

Sho-jah doo-roh ChojaH Duh rHo The battle has begun

Ya-zjah kay-oh yIjah, Qey' 'oH

Ya-zjah kay-oh yIjah, Qey' 'oH

Ya-zjah kay-oh-ooo yIjah, Qey' 'oH

Ya-zjah kay-oh yIjah, Qey' 'oH

Ya-zjah kay-oh yIjah, Qey' 'oH

Ya-zjah kayoh-ooo yIjah, Qey' 'oH This next one is from Deep Space Nine as well, where Worf is drinking with Kor, and they decide to go after the Sword of Kahless in the Gamma Quadrent. Again, Klingon and pronounciation and then Terran tranlation. EJ IM-TA FEY DE-JA I... 'ej HumtaH 'ej DechtaH 'Iw

EJAHDAK-SO-TAS GHOS VA SKRAL BYTEEK 'ej Doq SodTah ghoSpa' Sqral bIQtiQ

And the River Skral ran crimson red

On the day above all days

When Kahless slew evil Molor dead!

Answer 2

James Doohan, who played Scotty, did indeed invent the first few words of the Klingon language, but the vast bulk of the language was created by linguist Marc Okrand.
