klingon translation of a song (I think I'm speaking Klingonese)
Gorn
I hope I'm not stepping on any toes here.
I'm in No Kill I, a Star Trek punk rock band http://www.nokilli.com/,
and at our next show we're going to cover of the Vapors songe "I think
I'm turning Japanese". Only we're changing it to "I think I'm
speaking Klingonese". And instead of playing the Japanese sounding
guitar in that original, we'll be playing the Star Trek theme.
I've been working on writing the lyrics but I don't know Klingon. Can
anyone help? It needs to be a mix of Klingon and English because if
it was all in Klingon no one would know what was going on.
It's mostly the "no sex, no drugs" part of the song that I'm having
problems with. And the "stranger psyched lone-ranger" parts.
If anyone is interested in going, it's Sunday, Aug. 11 in Sacramento
at the Capital Garage (15 & L) and we'll be at my house a few blocks
away drinking beer if you want to show up. Email me if you want
directions.
So yeah, can anyone help?

So far I have:
I think I'm speaking Klingonese
I've got your picture of me and you
You wrote qamuSHa', qamuSHa' you too
(that's Klingon for I love you)
I sit there staring and there's nothing else to do
Oh it's in color Your hair is brown
Your eyes are hazel your brow is ridged
I often HIchop you when there's no one else around
(Klingon for "bite you")
I've got your picture, I've got your picture
I'd like a million of you over myself
I asked the doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You've got me turning up and turning down
And turning in and turning 'round
(something Klingon about gutting you would be good for that)
CHORUS:
I think I'm speaking Klingonese
I think I'm speaking Klingonese
I really think so
speaking Klingonese
I think I'm speaking Klingonese
speaking Klingonese
I really think so
speaking Klingonese
I think I'm speaking Klingonese
I really think so
speaking Klingonese
I think I'm speaking Klingonese
I really think so
I've got your picture, I've got your picture
I'd like a million of them over myself
I want the doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You've got me turning up and turning down and turning in
and turning 'round
CHORUS
No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women
( , no HIq, no be'joy (type of torture performed by
women)
No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark
( no HIHoh (kill), (dark = hurgh)
Everyone around me is a total stranger
Everyone avoids me like a psyched lone-ranger Everyone
That's why I'm speaking Klingonese
CHORUS
