Figuring Out The Dovahkiin Poem.

Post » Thu May 19, 2011 4:02 am

Okay, for the past few months i have been trying to learn and remember the Dragon language that will feature in Skyrim, i have memorised the full Sons Of Skyrim song in english and the first half of it in Draconic, i dont want to learn the second half till i know how it goes and so far, it hasnt been released in any trailer or otherwiese sang, only the first half has. But when gameplay trailer was released a while back, we can hear a new part to the song after he shouts "Fus Ro Dah!" so i listned closely and read a text version of the second half of the song in Draconic and it does not match, which leaves me to wonder if there is actually 3 parts of this song, the first which has been sang but not written anywhere, the second which has been sang and written, and the last which has been written but not sang... i think this is correct anyhow, so... heres a link to the song, after "Fus Ro Dah" listen out for the singing in the background and see if you can connect it to the written song. Because i certainly cant.

The second half of the song was actually chanted in the background at the VGAs when Todd was coming out to announce Skyrim.

As for the part sung during the Theme, we have no idea.

It comes a little bit into it. When the tempo picks up, that's when this part hits.

Ahh ^_^... okay i can hear it now, thanks alot! This only leads me to wonder now though, what they were saying before the tempo picked up and after the say "Bahlok" on the last line they seem to say something different before going back to say "Lein", the very last word, then they repeat the song from "Alduin" and continue to sing it correctly from there... looks like ill have to take some time figuring it out, but once again SkyShadowing, cant thank you enough :D

Ah, ive got it except for the bit before the tempo picking up, it goes

AHRK FIN KEL LOST PRODAH
DO VED VIING KO FIN KRAH
TOL FOD ZEYMAH WIN KEIN MEYZ FUNDEIN
ALDUIN FEYN DO JUN
KRUZIIK VOKUN STAADNAU
AHRK FIN KEL LOST PRODAH
DO VED VIING KO FIN KRAH
TOL FOD ZEYMAH WIN KEIN MEYZ FUNDEIN
ALDUIN FEYN DO JUN
KRUZIIK VOKUN STAADNAU
VOTH AAN BAHLOK WAH DIIVON FIN LEIN

So the chant is all of the second half of the song up untill the second to last line where the very last line is not sung and it carrys on from the beginning again and then all of it including the last line is sang, now i only need to figure out the bit before the tempo pick-up and then the part sang in the trailer and ill have the whole song cracked ^_^
