Well, here is an attempt at translating. It DOES NOT literally translate, but
I think I have the flavor down. It even is singable to the right tune.
(except for the second line) hack and slash on it as you see fit
"wa'" "One"
'e' ghItlh metaliqa by Mettalica
vIqawlaHbe'law'taH I can't remember anything
vIt naj ghap jIvam viSovbe' Can't tell if this is truth or dream
porghwIjDaq jIjachnIS Deep down inside, I feel to scream
jIH mumev tammoH'a' mIgh This terrible silence stops me
jI muwoDqu'bejpu' veS'a' Now that the war is thru with me
jIvemegh jIleghlaHbe' I'm waking up. I cannot see
naQbe'bej porghHomqoqwIj That there's not much left of me
DaH Dat mob 'oy'na'vam Nothing is real but pain now.
Hegh'a' na'wIj vIloS bejlI' Hold my breath as I wish for death
la'quv HItlhap Please God Take me.
ghuchoH jIH naj 'oHbe' ghu' Back in the womb It's much to real
paghDaq SoD yIn vIHotbogh In pumps life that I must feel
yIn vISov be'choH taH But can't look forward to reveal
poH jIleghbe' jIyIn bogh Look to the time when I'll live
chetvIvo' muDuQ jISop Fed through a tube that sticks in me
muQub jIlo'laHbe'bogh Just like a wartime novelty
jIyIn muradmoHtaH jISop Tied to machines that make me be
jIHvo' yInvam yIpe' Cut this life off from me
Hegh'a' na'wIj vIloS bejlI' Hold my breath as I wish for death
la'quv HItlhap Please God Take me.
DaH mejpu' qo' 'ej jImob Now this world is gone I'm just one...
Hurghghach'a' qama'Hey jiH Darkness, Imprisoning me
Hochna' vIlegh mIgh'a'na' 'oHchoH all that I see, Absolute horror
jIyInlaHbe' I cannot live
jIHeghlaHbe' I cannot die
qama' JiHegh Trapped in myself
bIghHa' 'oH porghwIj Body my holding cell.
mInpu' tlhappu' SaqtlhIl Landmine has taken my sight,
QichwIj tlhappu' taken my speech
Qoyghach tlhappu' taken my hearing
DeSwIj tlhappu' taken my arms
'uSwIj tlhappu' taken my legs
qo'wIj tlhappu' taken my soul
ghe''orDaq JiH mumej left me with life in hell.
