[Tlhingan-hol] qul tuq.

[Steven Boozer]

Interestingly, the last line parallels this bit from another song, the Warrior's Anthem:

  yoHbogh matlhbogh je SuvwI'
  Say'moHchu' may' 'Iw.
    [...]
  pa' reH maSuvtaHqu'.
  mamevQo'.  maSuvtaH.  ma'ov.

  The blood of battle washes clean
  The Warrior brave and true.
    [...]

  where we battle forever,

  battling on through the Eternal Fight.


If it is by Okrand, could this actually be {reH SuvtaH jaqbogh yoHbogh je ghotpu'}?  Just an idea.

The transcript in klingonska.org's canon archive reads:

Uuaaooo ma-kool aaaooo ma-sar reshuv tak yak bo ej gogh bow

ghotpu'.

It's hard to make out, but I think this is what Marc Okrand might have actually written:

'o meQ qul!
'o meQ chal!
reH SuvtaH jaqbogh 'ej yoHbogh(?) ghotpu'.

So:
Oh, the fire burns!
Oh, the sky burns!
The brave and bold people are always fighting.
