Dwarven Songs!
« on: March 20, 2012, 08:04:59 pm »

to start it off (snagged randomly off the net):



We dig dig dig dig dig dig dig in our mine the whole day through
To dig dig dig dig dig dig dig is what we really like to do
It ain't no trick to get rich quick
If you dig dig dig with a shovel or a pick
In a mine! In a mine! In a mine! In a mine!
Where a million diamonds shine!
We dig dig dig dig dig dig dig from early morn till night
We dig dig dig dig dig dig dig up everything in sight
We dig up diamonds by the score
A thousand rubies, sometimes more
But we don't know what we dig 'em for
We dig dig dig a-dig dig

Horet ihr der Hammer hall?
Hor der Hammer Hall!
valdens Sohne sind es, hor
Sie schmieden der gleissend' Schatz
Der Gotter Gottlichkeit

Schwarzalbenheims Gewurm
Schmiedet solch schimmerndes Gold
Der Gotter Glorie gestaltend
Aus der erde Geader

Tief unten drunter Stein und Wurz
Findest Du dieses selten' Volk
Der tefe und Lass den eifr'gen Schmied
Schweissen schlau deines Wunsches Bild

Unter unterdes Fjorgyn Haut
In der Erde verborg'nem Herzen
Arbeiten Zwerge der Unterwelt
Mit der Gotter gar glanzendem Gold

Draupnir, Mjolnir und Gullburste
Kunst de Schwarzalben
Brokk da Eitre und Sindre
Lass den Hammer schlagen nochmals

Schwarzalbenheims Gewurm
Schmiedet solch schimmerndes Gold
Der Gotter Glorie gestaltend
Aus der erde Geader

In den Tunneln und den Hohlen
Gleich 'nem Myzelium in Untergrund
Treiben sie voran die Alchemie
Die der Erde Fruchte Schein verleihn

Erinnerungen erschaffend
Aus weiter Ferne zu Goldene
Traume des Morgen zu schaffen
Gotter Runen aus der Erde Tiefe
Sonn' erbluhn!

Imagine the will it took to create a fortress like this. And what have you elves built? Nothing. You can only loot and break. You're not dwarves!! You're just termites at Versailles.

It's not that I don't suffer, it's that I know the unimportance of suffering, I know that pain is to be fought and thrown aside, not to be accepted as part of one's soul and as a permanent scar across one's view of existence.

    (The troll-courtiers): Slagt ham! Kristenmands søn har dåret
    Dovregubbens veneste mø!
    Slagt ham!
    Slagt ham!
    (a troll-imp): Må jeg skjære ham i fingeren?
    (another troll-imp): Må jeg rive ham i håret?
    (a troll-maiden): Hu, hej, lad mig bide ham i låret!
    (a troll-witch with a ladle): Skal han lages til sod og sø?
    (another troll-witch, with a butcher knife): Skal han steges på spid eller brunes i gryde?
    (the Mountain King): Isvand i blodet!

Imagine you're driving a car. Push the gas pedal to the floor. Close your eyes. Remain this way for ten minutes while turning the wheel at whim. This is Dwarf Fortress.
I don't mean to alarm you, but it appears that your Dwarves are all in fact elephants.
