Shokurung'a (My Axe)

A popular ballad of sorts among the War Men, and a common drinking song across Battal, Shokurung'a is one of the few bits of Shokurung that can be found in War Men territory and elsewhere alike. It is notable for being both a War Men attempt at some form of culture, and for its display of the War Men enjoyment of battle-axes.

Lyrics in Shokurung:

O, Pashtuk chognog'o shokurung'o'

Hok shokurung'a rakag pashtuk onk'o

Culuk chognog'e'onk tagang chognog'a

O, Onk'a rakag'onk'e'shokurung'a!

Shokurung'a, shokurung'a!

Shokurung'a, shokurung'a!

Pashtuk hiki hiki shokurung!

Shokurung'a, shokurung'a!

Shokurung'a, shokurung'a!

Rakag, rakag, rakag, shokurung!

Rakag'e, shokurung'a!

Rakag'e, shokurung'a!

Onk'e'rakag, shokurung'a!

Pashtuk rakag, shokurung!

The song ends with the refrain:

Shokurung'a, Shokurung'a, Shokurung'a, Shokurung'a!

Oooooooo, Shokurung'a!

(repeat until everyone in the bar is very annoyed and kicks you out)

English translation:

Oh, the world has many axes,

But my axe kills many people.

When enemies come to my homeland,

Oh, I kill them with my axe!

My axe, my axe!

My axe, my axe!

Very good, good axe!

My axe, my axe!

My axe, my axe!

Kill, kill, kill, axe!

Kill him, my axe!

Kill him, my axe!

He is dead, my axe!

Kill more, axe!

My axe, my axe, my axe, my axe!

Ooooooooh, my axe!

At cons, generally most people just sort of mumble the words until the refrain at the end, at which point everyone loudly and boisterously joins in. -tim
