Songs of Skyrim: The Nord March

  • The aptly named 'Nord March' is an ancient Nord war chant that is sung in Dovah, the tongue of the Dragons.

     

    The original version...

     

    Zeymah Bron, mu yoriik wah grah,
    Hahkun ahrk spaan ko haal,
    Bron wah grah.

    Fah moro!
    Unahzaal moro!
    Zeymah, kriist mul pahvoth,
    Zeymah Bron, yoriik wah grah.

    Sahrot Rah Tsun, jaaril mii,
    Sahrot Rah Tsun, ofan mii mul,
    Bron wah grah.

    Fah moro!
    Unahzaal moro!
    Zeymah kriist mul pahvoth,
    Zeymah Bron, yoriik wah grah.

    Qobo rah Kaan, jaaril mii,
    Qobo rah Kaan, ofan mii nelom,
    Bron wah grah.

    Fah moro!
    Unahzaal moro!
    Zeymah kriist mul pahvoth,
    Zeymah Bron, yoriik wah grah.

     

    And the translation...

     

    Brother Nords, we march to battle,

    Axe and shield in hand,

    Nords to battle.

     

    For glory!

    Unending glory!

    Brothers, stand strong together,

    Brother Nords, march to battle!

     

    Mighty God Tsun, protect us,

    Mighty God Tsun, give us strength,

    For the Nords march to battle.

     

    For Glory!

    Unending glory!

    Brothers, stand strong together,

    Brother Nords, march to battle!

     

    Swift God Kyne, protect us,

    Swift god Kyne, give us speed,

    Foe the Nords march to battle!

     

    For Glory!

    Unending glory!

    Brothers, stand strong together,

    Brother Nords, march to battle!
