Yes! that was the episode, thanks. I couldn't remember. Oh it's a shame
that it isn't even close to "standard" Klingon. But thanks so much for the
info! That helps.

You're probably thinking of the song from Birthright, Part II.<br>
<br>
It's actually more than just non-standard; it's gibberish. Some hav=

The first two lines are presumably translated as "Fire streaks the hea=

The line *ylja'Qo'* is presumably a misspelling of =C2=AByIja'Q=

This is the interpretation taken by author Keith R.A. DeCandido, who uses a=
