Born For This by The Score - in Mando'a

Ahaha, here's another one.

Technically, this is the one I started first, but let me tell you, trying to fit Mando'a into the verses of this song? Absolute Hell. It took me forever, and I'm still not 100% pleased with it, tbh.

I'll try to put together a little glossary of made up words for this one, but I genuinely can't remember all of them. I did most of the work on the chorus-y bits… uh… a year ago? Give or take a couple of months.

But here, at fucking last, is the song:

Rugot* Par'bic (Born For This)

Aalar ner brok* (Feeling my pulse) Gaanader kyrbej (Picking the battlefield) Slanar akaan tugyc (Going to war again)

Aalar kaab o'r (Feeling the sound inside) Ner haalas meg (My chest that is) An ni lini (All I need)

Kar'mir… ni rugot par'bic (Knowing… I was born for this) Kar'mir… ni rugot par'bic (Knowing… I was born for this)
