Chapter Text

Valyrian

Drakari pykiros
Tīkummo jemiros
Yn lantyz bartossa
Saelot vāedis

Hen ñuhā elēnī:
Perzyssy vestretis
Se gēlȳn irūdaks
Ānogrose

Perzyro udrȳssi
Ezīmptos laehossi
Hārossa letagon
Aōt vāedan

Hae mērot gierūli:
Se hāros bartossi
Prūmȳsa sōvīli
Gevī dāerī

English

Fire breather
Winged leader
But two heads
To a third sing

From my voice:
The fires have spoken
And the price has been paid
With blood magic

With words of flame
With clear eyes
To bind the three
To you I sing

As one we gather
And with three heads
We shall fly as we were destined
Beautifully, freely

Notes:

This is the song Daemon is singing. Ti wrote the original English lyrics, which was three stanzas. I made sure they worked in Valyrian and added a fourth stanza to help clean things up, as more words required to get the meaning that was packed into the original English. It was nice to hear it sung so clearly!
