: I have written a song in Klingon.
:
: A few notes on how to read the transcription: It is in 4/4 time, the beat of
: a proper march. The beat is counted out on the top line with half beats
: marked as 'a'. Count it as 'one and two and ...' The notes are on the
: second line starting with C. Any notes higher than C are marked with a '^'
: and those lower are unmarked. The words are on the third line. They may be
: broken up with hyphens, that merely indicates that the word is held through
: the beat. I'll leave the translation up to you, it is extremely simple and
: once you've figured it out actually singing it should be no problem.
