Before - Legends Mando, Poetry Thread (with translations) - 11/22: Aay'han

Oooo...really loved the "remembering" poem. beautiful.

 

Erm, firstly to to those I had waiting so long. I am horribly bad at remembering to do author replies.

Secondly: Thanks for the nomms!

w-righter - Thank you. I still want to write some more but it is a daunting task. So far, all attempts to actually 'learn' the language have failed.

Ulic_Starwalker - Glad to be of help. If you ever get fluent, shot me a pm, I still need a beta-reader for these.

DaenaBenjen42 - There are beginnings of more. But not enough words ending on 'ai' so - I'm working on it.

celine - It is pretty with the short lines that even rhyme. I try to rhyme longer lines now, but it is difficult. there no Mando-rhyme-dictionary yet.

 

Beautiful! I love this!

 

Thank you Zandoran. They are kinda fun to do. You know, the hair-ripping, nail-chewing kind of fun that ends in 'headdesk:repeat'.


Finally, I got another one. *headdesk: end for now*


~ dar gai ~

~ untitled (without name) ~

I know your pain under too many other names
The fire of your eyes burns me to ash
Distance between heart and soul is growing
Ever stronger cold like ice dark as night

I know your name and all it's pains
I'm drowned (killed under water), by the darkness in your eyes
I travelled so far and further
Finding that even with you, I am without you

When the heart is dead, where does the head go?
I don't want to know, just follow my sigh

 

Okay, it was not that great, I agree. But this is wonderful.
It might not be really 'Mando' but more about clones and their supporters, few as they are. them all.

All one

My brothers are all one
are too many to count
- all one -
One face, one voice
one indomitable heart
- all one -

my brothers are strong
beautifully deadly
- as one -
storms of cold
storm of heat
- as one -

My brothers stand as one
never fall
- not one -
each one is more than important
must come home
- each one -

I am with my brothers
other face, other voice
- still one -
indomitable hearts
with them no longer a stranger
- all one -




There's several pics with the poem and a trooper. I could just not decide wich was most pretty.

Stormie Version

Clone Version

White Version

 

Wow, that's so beautiful!!

 

Awesomness!!!

I tried reading it out loud and it sounds very cool.
Great job!

 

I don't know the first thing about Mando, but these are beautiful poems.

 

Thank you NYCitygurl. It just poured onto the paper so to speak.

Svebor - I try to make them sound pretty. It's not always easy but certainly worth it. Here's an audio version of Vercopa. (You need a quickplayer, I think...)

Aludra_Jinnobi - Time to do some catching up then, huh? Glad you enjoy them anyway.

[u]Separated[/u]

I want to know
The colour of your heart
The sound of your soul
The truth of your eyes

I want to feel
The touch of your hands
The kiss of your breath
The fire of your eyes

I wish a future
I want 'us'
I want good times forever
I wish for desire

Whatever I want
You gave
You had
And I want
- you -

Forever, forever
Is but a word
Forever, forever
I want you

 

MsLanna, these are absolutely beautiful!

 

These are beautiful, especially the end of Dar'tome.

The audio was amazing. Truly wonderful and unique stuff.

azizah

 

Audio version sounds better. I now realize that I used to mispronounce certain things. But its always good to learn.

Dar'tome/Separated is very nice.

 

So this is where your hiding the poetry I need to get out of my era a bit more often

 

Thank you Dar.

azizah - I always intend to do more things audio and then I get distracted by - oooh shiny! Glad you like them.

Svebor - Don't trust my pronunciation, I'm just a hibir myself. But it is nice to say it out loud for a change. Makes it all more real.

Oya, Rob. What do you mean 'hide'? It's all in plain sight.

 

Just a short rhyme for the learning of the Mando numers from one to ten.


Solus, t'ad, bal ehn, cuir;
the first four numbers you have here.
Rayshe'a, resol, e'tad, sh'ehn
leave you a tad short of ten.
She'cu gets you on a roll
and with ta'raysh you reach the goal.


Note of interest: sh'ehn is actually a t'ad short of ten.

 

Welcome to the sing-along.
I am sure you know the song, though I hope it won't be stuck in your heads as long as in mine. Let the decimation begin....





Ta'raysh kih jetiise

Ten little Jedi

Ten little Jedi
Come to Mandalore
One dies of fear
There are nine

Nine little Jedi
Exit their ship
One breaks his neck walking
There are eight

Eight little Jedi
Ignite their lightsabers
One gets beheaded
There are seven

Seven little Jedi
Go into a tapcafe
One tried to drink our ale
There are six

Six little Jedi
Eat tiingilar*
One chokes to death
There are five

Five little Jedi
Prepare to fight
One forgets to breathe
There are four

Four little Jedi
Don't see the enemy
One dies stupidly
There are only three

Three little Jedi
Meet a Mando
He kills one
There are only two

Two little Jedi
Fight very bad
The Mando kills them both
There is not one
There are none




*blisteringly spicy Mandalorian casserole

 

really good

 

Those Jedi are so dumb!

 

Thank you Darthrevan.

Dar - Yes they are. Too easy to kill althogether.

 

That is really intense... How did you learn Mando?

 

Glad you like them, Mr. Fett.
How I leran Mando? The hard way: flash cards, more flash cards, and trying to spontaneously translate everything.
Also working on a course book for Moando is great help.

The next one, I did with almost no looking up. I am starting to get the hang of this language.

Memory

All we share
All we were
All we can be
The future destroys
Our dream
Leaves us as two
We were one
Memory stands between us
Give me a reason
One reason
Why this should be right

I want the past
Everything was right
I don't want tomorrow
Without you
When 'we' is just a memory

Half Song

I cannot sing your song
I don't remember your name
I want to be with you
You were the centre of my eye

And never will we two meet again
Time was not on our side
Being together is not possible
And I am left half

Because half of me
Marched far away*
And I don't remember your name
Because the other half of me
Is just half a song




*died

 

Awesome, Mando-poetry is back!


LMAO at "Ten Little Jedi"! Priceless!

Last 2 poems are really beautiful, especially Tome'tayl. There's certain power about it. And it sopunds quite cool when pronounced outloud, esp the first bit.
Great work.

 

It's never really gone, Ulic.
The frequency of the updates is dependent on my Mando Muse. He might have been on a holiday...
I'm glad you like the Ten Little Jedi. It's a bit silly.
It is difficult to make some bits sound in Mando. The parts that sound good, are usually those I made up directly in Mando without having to translate bits from English.

Ocean

Forever movement,
blue sky
Blues is under me,
without end
Hold out your hand
Open eyes
Free heart
And our names
lost

No end of water
Night
Our future
Black
Take my hand
See
Know
Feel me
Remember

Hold me!
You are my ocean,
My life
Please
Hold me...

there's no us

but possibly?
my heart, head and hands

but when I look into your eyes
darkness, night, shadows
I want you to laugh again
even if that is
without me
