I was able to hear something like DaHjaj "mopa" 'oH, DaHja..... There's
probably a letter missing between "mo" and "pa" but it was too laud for me
to understand what's there. It definitely isn't mopwI' as there's a clear
"a" at the end of that word.

I was also surprised that Klingon version started with DaHjaj while english
equivalent didn't even contain "today" word.
