Right here, 1:08 or so into the video.

It's part of the theme song we've never heard before (I think), and it's the part that incorporates the previous games' theme. We already know the "Dovahkiin" part of the lyrics, but what about this part? Are we finally getting some lyrics to the traditional TES theme (though in a Dragon language, lol)?

Also, is the second part of translated Game Informer cover ever incorporated in the theme? The teaser song (which is also in the gameplay video) only sings the first part.

Put this in the wrong section originally, thanks to the mod who moved it. So anyone know?

I think that choir is singing the second stanza, but I'm having difficulty matching it with the vocals.

That's what I was thinking, it just doesn't seem to match at all.

Well it is second actually, and it should go after the first one. And it doesn't match.

EDIT: And we've heard it, it was in Sounds of Skyrim video on GI

I just wanted to say that I'm pretty sure they'll never sing "Fus Roh Dah" just because it's the only Dragon Shout we know of so far.
It's obviously "Humm, Ha, Humm!" which also makes more sense in the context.

Edit: Argh, just realized that you're saying the hero is making a Fus Roh Dah. Which might actually be true.
Well after that part, the one we know from the trailer sets in, so maybe the song is just longer than we thought, and we only heard the chorus or the ending of it. We don't know the connection between the poem and the song yet; it could be that the song is simply taking the first verse of a famous prophecy and turns it into a chorus. (Although I'm not even sure if either of them will appear in the actual game.)

Was it? A monotone chanting is played at the beginning of the video that may match up, but it only plays for a few seconds. Other than that, though, we do get a clearer version of the chorus singing the main theme. Definitely doesn't match the second "verse."

I wonder when we're going to get the full, uninterrupted theme, because it still feels like we're missing pieces.

Well okay so I made a, umm, "translation key" for myself, and it looks like this:
en a o
o in uu
ho ha ho
en us draa
a eerra
a uuull
un es al cinto bay la

Note how I got tired at the end because I couldn't make any sense of what I'm hearing. And my pronunciation is German.
Anyway, this can be compared to the http://www.gameinformer.com/p/skyrimpuzzle.aspx... the second line looks like and sounds like "Fod Hin Jun", which would mean "When Your King(s)". And the "a eeerra" actually fits "Mahfaeraak" pretty well, which means "Forever". us draa could be "Nust Draal", which is "They pray(ed)".

I honestly doubt we can solve this using only the translation of the other verse, but hey, it's worth a try.

I gave it a try aswell, but somehow it doesn't seem to make sense at all. :whistling:


Guessed Lyrics:

x x x Kein Naal Ok
Ved Viing Mu Graan x x
x x Staad-nau Aan Mah-fae-raak
Ahst Vaal x _ _ _
Lost Dein Tol Kel Ko Zin-
dro Feyn Krah Mu Dii-von.


When translated, you get this:

x x x War By His
Black Wings We Rout x x
x x Un-bound And For-ev-er
At Bay x _ _ _
Have Kept That Scroll In Tri-
umph's Bane Cold We Swal-low.


X's mark syllables I couldn't find out. Thanks to the "FUS, RO, DAH!" I don't even dare guessing the first three. <.<


I'd appreciate any corrections. :biggrin:

edit: sorry, don't mind.
