SKI: Here's the lyrics to <DaHjaj po>.  It's sung to the tune of <DaHjaj wo'>
by Cap'n Krankor.  The three lines are generally sung at once.  Krankor
probably doesn't want his song lyrics posted here, so if you haven't heard
<taHjaj wo'> and don't know the lyrics, you can find them in HolQeD 3.2.
   It might be an good practice for beginners to translate.  Just remember
that it's a song and isn't as grammatically correct as normal sentences.  Or
for another challenge, explain why the second line of the {tlhegh wa'DIch}
*isn't* grammatically ambiguous.  :)
