Moon Song (lyrics by Robert Bruce Scott)
maS bom (mughwI': naHQun)

In the blink of an eye

The stars fall from the sky
chalvo' pum Hov
And the seven suns dance upon the midnight
ramjepDaq mI' Soch Hov

In the blink of an eye

If the stars had a voice
ghogh ghajchugh Hov;


They would speak their desire
neHghachDaj 'ang
And send the seven ships to the edge of the sky
'ej qIbHeSDaq Soch Duj ngeH
If the stars had a voice
ghogh ghajchugh Hov;
If the voice were a wind
SuSghach 'oHghach ghogh,

It would sing in the sails of the seven ships
Soch Duj pIvghorDaq bom
It would follow the falling stars
pumbogh Hov tlha'
It would sing for the dancing suns
Hov mI'boghmo'; bom
In this windsong the moon
SuSbomDaq 'oHtaHvIS maS;

Glows brighter in memory
wew qaw

Until it fills all the night sky
maS tIn law' chal tIn puS

In this windsong the moon
SuSbomDaq 'oHtaHvIS
