I wrote this song a while ago, but never figured out what to actually DO with it. So when I was doing research for stories I work on right now, I realized that it could be fun to do two versions of it! One sung by Humans, one sung by Dragons! And how the message of the song warps between the two sides, kind of like the song \"Age of Aggression/Oppression\" being different from Emperials and Stormcloaks!\nSo I offer you a total of 3 versions of the same song! One raw Human version, one raw Dovahzul Version, and of course the direct translation of the prior one for those that does not speak the language of dragons fluently. Pff, noobs, I totally do that...\nThumbnail from by: https://www.teepublic.com/user/galwin\nElder Scrolls Series is Copyright Bethesta.\nOh and a PS; the song's rythm is heavily based of \"Ragnar the Red\", which can aid in reading it :3\nOh and PPS; the translated version doesn't rhyme because it is a -direct- translation, it rhymes in Dragon Tongue.","content":" **Human Version;**\n\nT'was an era of war, cut wounds in our lore,\n\nin Skyrim they tore like a four-septim whore.\n\n~\n\nFour sides so rash, Blades and Falmor would clash,\n\nStormcloaks would dash to Imperials slash.\n\n~\n\nBut then from the night, flight a monstrous blight,\n\nwe doubted our sight at the draconic might!\n\n~\n\nFrom the ancient past, with wingspans so vast,\n\ntail like a mast and breath filled of blast!\n\n~\n\nOur swords they were dull, couldn't cut dragon hull,\n\nthe arrows we pull they resulted in null.\n\n~\n\nBut then stepping forth, like the powerful Njorth,\n\na legend from north who could dragons swarth!\n\n~\n\nThey were grabbed by the horn, from the skies they were torn,\n\nas a voice full of scorn escaped Dragonborn!\n\n~\n\nClad in armour of old, so fair and so bold,\n\nhe resisted the cold and refused all our gold.\n\n~\n\nFor his purpose was true, and when he his voice threw,\n\nthe dragons they flew to fight dragonborn through.\n\n~\n\nOn the Dragonborn's list, we've come to the mist,\n\nfor he vanished our gist as if swallowed by grist.\n\n~\n\nSo we drink to his deed, how he came to our need,\n\nto dragons none plead no we'll root out the weed!\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n~\n\nWe stand now as one, our work isn't done,\n\nbut in spirit we've won and the dragons will run!\n\n~\n\nSo when your skies grow dark, and you hear fires spark,\n\nrecall Dragonborn stark and fight for your mark!\n\n~\n\nSlaves or lords grab their swords in blood-bounded hordes!\n\nFor we hail from the fjords... Skyrim, the homeland of Nords!\n\n**Dragon Tongue (Dovahzul) Version:**\n\nNii lost feln do kein, enook jul nau ok dein,\n\nko Keizaal nust Gegein, enook rahzun ahrk kinbokein.\n\n-\n\nHir reid fund grah, Dovahdaan ahrk Fahliil fund dilah,\n\nStrundaam amativ dah wah Lokoltei dirkah.\n\n-\n\nNuz ruz nol vulon, bo lein ahvulon,\n\njoor shook niist lon ahst dovahruv krilon!\n\n-\n\nNol kruziik ustiid, voth viingaal meyriid,\n\nok bosit uliid ahrk su'um med agiid!\n\n-\n\nNiist zahkrii fund ni haav, vust ni vey dovah skraav,\n\nfaal Ronaaz nunon fadaav klus ko dovahro praav.\n\n-\n\nVokrii nol pogaankrii, dovah sos krelzahkrii,\n\nzooruv uvokriin wo fund dovah krii!\n\n-\n\nVoth zul med fusriin, voth gelahaan dwiin,\n\nkrif med Amokriin ful drey faal Dovahkiin!\n\n-\n\nGahrot qah ahrk jivon, nikriin ko vokun vonun,\n\nnuz un su'um rok vogahvon ahrk gahrot pah un yuvon.\n\n-\n\nRok yah tir enook govoldeim, voth rot ful voheim,\n\ndovah mein heim wah krif Dovahkiin zeim.\n\n-\n\nNu faal Dovahkiin tey, lost nid zos wah niil rahdey,\n\ngeh vognun rok drey wah fos mu wahl un beyl!\n\n-\n\nFul mu mirodah do un gloz, vir mu drove do dostoz,\n\ndovah ontzos meyar oldoz ahrk mu fen rum tir veydoz!\n\n-\n\nMu bo zokah ahrk nonvul, to un paal tul lost vulz,\n\nnu mu los gaar nol vul ful joor fen bovul!\n\n-\n\nRahn lost ahvosiik, joordro lokalaat bildiik,\n\nvelaaz voth bahlok do grohiik-okaaron ahrk orofaal un kruziik ziik!\n\n-\n\nFron ahrk fron nu fronmaar gron, Hokoron mah ahrk dovah Ahkron!\n\nOrwahl lein Nikron, un meyr hofkiin do faal Bron!\n\n**Translated Version:**\n\n(It was an era of war, every man on his guard,\n\nin Skyrim they United, every soldier and general.)\n\n/\n\n(Four sides would battle, Blades and Elf would argue,\n\nStormcloaks forward push to Empire dice.)\n\n/\n\n(But then from the night, fly the world assassin,\n\nmortals shook their fist at the draconic confront!)\n\n/\n\n(From the ancient past, with winged ancestry,\n\nHis tail swinging precise and breath like a burner!)\n\n/\n\n(Their swords would not enter, could not cut dragon hull,\n\nthe Arrows only snuggle the skulls in the dragon's lair.)\n\n/\n\n(Revived from the massacre, the dragon blood saber,\n\na legendary hypocrite who would dragons kill!)\n\n/\n\n(With a voice like a shockwave, with enchanted steel,\n\nfighting like a Gryphon so did the Dragonborn!)\n\n/\n\n(Stolen armor and lace, a coward in the shadows unseen,\n\nbut our breath he resisted and stole all our gold.)\n\n/\n\n(He sought out every fortress,\u0026nbsp; with words so unschooled,\n\nthe dragons plans forged to fight Dragonborn through.)\n\n/\n\n\u0026nbsp;(Now the Dragonborns tale, has no more to its scripture,\n\nyes vanished he did to which we raise our glass!)\n\n/\n\n(So we sing of our grudge, how we drove of the fiend,\n\ndragons again owns the horizon and we will root out the weed!)\n\n/\n\n(We fly proud and noble, though our foes still have pulse,\n\nnow we are released from the dark so the mortals will flee!)\n\n(Passed has the harvester, the mortal's beloved defender,\n\nfeast with the hunger of an orca and retake our ancient marks!)\n\n/\n\n(Relatives and kin now kinship bind,\u0026nbsp; Enemy falls and dragons Prevail!\n\nRebuild a world Unconquerable, our ancestory home of the North!)\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
