Heat handguns, Noise the hulls,
the engines speak the sounds of victory
and everyone in the ship are waiting for
the prize which is the is high is horizontal (sic)
Hand and arms! *** and power!
Use the empire's voice to scream!
And take away the prize of victory!
Vengeance flies morning!
For 'sing', "bom" has been coined by Okrand in the latest issue of HolQeD,
the Klingon Language Institue quarterly. I have no idea why you're heating
the handguns or noising the hulls. SaS seems wrong; jIq doesn't exist.
yIjachmeH seems redundant for jachmeH, but isn't necessarily wrong. nge'
isn't necessarily the best verb; I'd use Suq. The best way to translate
"in the morning", which, as you rightly surmised, is not -Daq, an explicitly
spatial postposition, is "qaSDI' po".
