I thought the reveal trailer was supposed to be in dragon la : V - Skyrim

You can do this with pretty much any choir-based song, really. My favorite is the “Saw Some Wookies” version of Carl Orff’s “Carmina Burana.”

This is now ruined for me

.

In so many films it accompanies some sort of epic moment; now all I will ever think is great big wookies.

the very fact that you hear dovahkiin and not dragonborn means its not in english

» Fri Aug 20, 2010 6:06 am

Uhmm yeah this is for sure Dragon Language. Not English.

Lol, OP just got dealt with Dev style.

Either OP is really trolly, or is -really- hard of hearing.

Yep. With strands of sizzling, arcing electricity surging from his fingertips the blue-skinned developer sat at his keyboard and unleashed his furious might into this thread; smiting it and leaving it to die a slow and painful death.

I'm sigging this!

Just because you can make yourself believe to hear logical english sentences doesn't mean it's actually english.

No.. it's if I Was Green I Would Die!

Infidel!
(Oops, didn't watch the video before posting. I thought you posted the real song. )

If we were to hear the original choir without the ffects, I'm sure we'd see that it's in the dragon tongue. While to may sound like English, to me it is not. The "dragon words" are also maybe close to the English "sounding", like how Daedric alphabet looks a lot like the common alphabet.

Listen to the video from 0:55 and look at the first post in this thread and what I think it says and tell me that it doesn't sound like that.

DOVAHKIIN DOVAHKIIN

Dragonborn Dragonborn
By his honor is sworn
To keep evil forever at bay
And the fiercest foes rout
When they hear triumph's shout
Dragonborn for your blessing we pray

And the scrolls have fortold
Of black wings in the cold
That when brothers wage war come unfurled
Alduin bane of kings
Ancient shadow unbound
With a hunger to swallow the world

If you listen to the trailer it does sound like your version but it also sounds like the official announcement that it is dragon.

Yeah. I can totally read Daedric font without even trying.
It's ridiculous, but awesome!

Had it been english it would have been dragon born dragonborn for the sake of skyrim as another said whom you ignoree. Also dovahkiin is not a name so it wouldn't be dovahkiin our king. And the high king of skyrim is dead.

» Fri Aug 20, 2010 6:08 am

Hasn't it sort of been proven by now that it is in Dragon tongue? Just considering that a developer even has explained it.

Gorbachev, tear down that thread!

» Fri Aug 20, 2010 4:42 am

Lol

The "worst" thing about this Skyrim theme though is that ... because we really thought we had the right lyrics before in English, now, despite we know they are in dragon-language, we still "want" to hear the lyrics as we did at first.
My head says one thing, but my ears say another thing...
But it could also be because it's an entirely different language and that we rather relate to something we know (English).

Heh.. just some psychological theories I have concerning this subject

I know! The human brain is a crazy thing. I still hear some of the old lyrics we "thought" we had before they released the real ones. That was pretty hilarious :lmao:

There is a psychological term for what the OP, and what we, are/were experiencing. But I cannot remember it.

it's not english. you just think it is because ofcourse it SOUNDS like it when you read that text at the same time.

It has been stated that its dragon tongue.

» Fri Aug 20, 2010 6:35 am

It was speculated that they were singing in English, and everyone was attempting to post their own interpretations on it, but they have stated many times that what they are singing is not English. A developer even said this somewhere long ago when it was a popular subject of discussion.

The Dragon language is what's right. Every time I listen to it, that's what I hear. There is no English there. End of story.

Watch while looking at the video text then the top rated comment.

This can probably close now. With the dev and the "Composing Skyrim's music" information, it is clearly not in English.
