This is an ancient song which truly shows the Klingon love of food. It
also shows the difficulty Klingons have in understanding why outsiders find
Klingon cuisine so distasteful. Although this song is well known on Tera,
it's Klingon origins are not known to most Humans. Therefore, it is here
given first in it's original Klingon and then in it's more commonly known
English.
-DaH qagH wISopbej.-
nuparHa'qu', numuSqu' Hoch,
DaH qagh wISopbej.
gharghmey pI'qu', gharghney langqu',
DaH qagh wISopbej.
porghmey wISIj 'ej
Hoch 'Iw wInatlh 'ej
'o'Du' wIpolHa'.
Hoch jaj wejlogh qagh wISop,
Do'Ha' 'e' yaj pagh!
Now in English:
-We're gunna go eat worms-
Nobody likes us, everybody hates us,
we're gunna go eat worms.
Great big fat ones, itty bitty skinny ones
we're gunna go eat worms.
Cut 'em open and,
squeeze out the juice and,
throw the tails away.
Nobody understands how we can eat
worms three times a day!
