lab Quvar:
:I'm helping someone to translate a song.
:It's about a beautiful alien woman seducing
:the crew of a Klingon ship.
:[snip]
:He called this temptress a "devil-like seducer",
:a *be'veqlargh*. That's not canon, but I think for poetry
:it's okay enough.
chaq bomvetlhvaD QaplaH mu' "be'veqlargh" 'ach vIpar jIH.
qatlh? moHqu'mo' pagh tlhu'moHlaH veqlargh 'e' vIHar. ghe''or lojmIt 'av
veqlargh, nuv tlhu'moHbe'.
:Any better suggestions?
tlhu'moHwI' = temptress
'IHwI' = beauty
'IHwI' mIgh = evil beauty
qa' jonwI' = the capturer of souls
qaq qechmeywIj 'e' vImaqbe'.
:Besides of that he would like to know other
:expressions or metaphors he could use in that song.
:I don't know anything special.
Anyone interested in Klingon metaphors might consider reading
