Why hide? It's very good. Very, very good.

 

Wow, DaenaBenjen42, now I'm impressed.
Are you good with Mando, or did you use a dictionary?
I'm just glad the thread wasn't locked due to nobody knowing what I am ranting about.

 

I recongized the Mando language, but to be honest, I could only translate a bit of it (I seem to have misplaced my handy list of words!) But I loved it!

 

It's so lovely and sad! I'm quite sure this is the first powty I've read in Mando'a. Very well done!!

 

I could do a rough translation.
Okay, I admit I can only post a polished one.



Wish/dream/I wish

the music our souls sings
is beautiful sound together
but I
can sing no longer

the colour our hearts burn
are a bright fire together
but I
can see no longer

a battlefield in my head
death and destruction
and I
I can fight no longer

I cannotsay 'we' again
can't say hello/still alive, beloved
what if
what if
I wish 'if' had been

the future is music
but I
can listen no longer



Hope that helps until you find your list again, Vadey.

Thanky NiobeAsha.
I think Mando is the perfect language to write sad goddbye poetry. they go off and die all the time.

If you don't think it's too cheesy, I can post more...

 

I really liked the translation. I admit it. I'm too lazy to translate the original...

 

Hahaha, you're right about that, Lanna. Yes, more please!!!

 

I'll admit, I don't know Mando at all, but I'm very impressed that you wrote a poem in that language. Very cool. I like the translation.

 

beautiful poem and I don't know Mando. When you translated it it showed its real beauty.

 

Brilliant! I love Mando. Excellent work!

 

Beautiful!

 

There's a Mando dictionary??? holy

Thanks for translating it. It's very nice.

 

Okay, so was the magic word 'Mando' or 'translation'?


I'll remember that, dianethx. The next one will come with translation included. Promise.

Ask and you shall receive, NiobeAsha. It's a great way to learn a language.

I'm just beginning,jedi_of_ennth . But the translation of the next can't keep up with the next, I think.

earlybird-obi-wan , if it wasn't in mando, where would the connection to Star Wars be? I can't just post poetry here...

Say, Darth-Spider-Queen, does that mean you're knowledgeable in Mando? Could we pm in it?

Thank you,KotOR_girl . It's a beautiful language. Even if it does feel like tlaking with your mouth full of stones.

Yes, ratna, there is. On Karen Traviss site. Very useful, if incomplete. (Why is there a word for 'painting' but not for 'to paint?')

Okay, on to the next. translation included.

[u]Remembering[/u]


just being with you
being alone no longer
makes me complete
and connects me

Don't you remember?

just being with you
I was a song
all hear me
I was beautitiful

Don't you want to remember?


just being with you
a fire in the void
see my colour
fill the sky (daylight)

You cannot remember.


but I remember
remember us
all todays
all tomorrows

Beloved, I remember.

 

I loved this. I read the first one, translated a few lines and gave up (but was still impressed).

But I really like this second one especially the end, and thanks for the translation. Great work.

 

That's really f'in good man. I'm impressed.

 

I jzst have a hand for poetry, azizah. Comes easy to me, unlike other styles of writing.
No reason to be that impressed, though, I'm still making much use of the word list.

Man, Anderson84?
I'll take that as a compliment, too!

I'm still working on learning. Makes makes writing in in much easier. But the lack of words.... *sigh* maybe you'll realize what I mean with the next one. Maybe my fave so far.

I am trying to capture the spirit of a language that is mainly spoken and has a long oral tradition. So I use repetitions and alliterations (when I can) . If anybody knows what else should be in such a kind of poetry, please tell me.

Fire

I know your name
wrote it on my heart
and it burned
I know your face
painted it on my soul
and it burned

I know the distance between us
Measured it
And burned
I know the years between us
Counted them
And burned

I worked, fought, tried
burned
I dreamed and made it truth
Burned

see you, I did
touch you, I did
and I burn
under your eyes
under your hands
I burn

Now all is ashes
darkness, dust in wind
all know
a dream made real
is ended

 

Wow, it's nice to see someone writing in Mando. And it is really beautiful stuff, too.
I'm a big fan of Traviss' language.

 

Thank you Amon_Amarth.
At first, I didn't like it much, but the better I get to know it, the more I like it. There's so many possibilities in it.

[b]Pain[/b]

to see you unable to touch
to hear you unable to reach
to know your hurt but unable to help
to hear your sad song though all times
that is pain

your heart without beat
your face without laughter
my world without you
how can I return alone to half a song
it is pain

I know pain
your blood on my face
- not right -
your blood in my hands
- not right -
your heart singing the song of goodbye
not right at all, not right at all

I now pain well
I/me alone
soul alone
heart alone
together gone/no more
'we' gone
completely gone
That's pain

 

Su'cuy. Big Mando fan here. I've just registered here, but I have been lurking around and reading the fan fiction here for some time.



I'm surrprised to see someone writing in Mandalorian, especially poetry. It is beautiful. I've tried pronouncing it, it sounds nice. Rich and powerful......pure Mando.

Jate bora!

 

Somply beautiful!

 

Su'cuy gar, MandoJedi. I'm still working on Mando-fan, only got to Jango-fan so far. It's only a two letter difference, so, who knows...
Pronouncing it is difficult, but I think some of it sounds pretty good. If you speak Mando with German accent, that is.



Thank you, Jedi_Drizzt. I'm glad you like it.

More to come. Currently ni akaani miite ures o'r Mando.

 

I can't believe I haven't seen this before. Awesome poems! You did a fantastic and brave job by writting in mandalorian language, well done!!!

 

I love Mando language, although I don't know much. But I'm learning, and that matters. And this amazing Mandalorian poetry of yours come as a great help in the process. Thanks, MsLanna.

 

Oh, wow... there's more? Liked these. Well done.
