As we gear up for Halloween, I decided to translate Michael Jackson's Thriller into Dothraki. It's a straight forward translation, not timed to music or set to rhyme. I'd love any feedback/corrections!
Verse 1
Me addo ajjalan qisi, m'ato mel fonay mr'athaozar
Torga shekhikhi k'ajjalani, yer tihi lei fin chir annakha zhor yeri
Yer kis awazi vosm' athrokhar ficha mem hatif yeri laz memi
Yer ezi jesholat m'athrokhar tihie mra tihi yeri nakhaan, yer vo laz nem eyeo
Chorus 1
Haji jinoon rokhakoon, ajjalan ki rokhaki

Verse 2
Yer chari m'emrakh jona, ma yer tihoe fini os sandi vo vekho

Verse 3

Chorus 3 (again)
Jin rokhak, ajjalan ki rokhaki

Jin rokhak, ajjalan ki rokhaki
Qorasolates anha yeraan ma majilates

Vincent Price monologue
Athaozar ohara yomme hranna

Ma kash yer laji thirolat

Dothraki-to-English
Verse 1
It's midnight nearly, and something evil is hunting within the darkness
Under the little light of the moon, you see a ghost that almost stops your heart
You try to scream but fear/terror takes the sound before you can make sound
You start to freeze and fear/terror looks completely within your eyes,
you can't move yourself
Chorus 1
Because this is Thriller, night of the Thriller
And nobody will save you from the beast that's ready to strike
It is known it's Thriller, night of the Thriller
You're fighting for your life within the night of killing sprees, of fear
Verse 2
You hear the gate close, and you realize a safe path doesn't exist
You feel a cold hand and hope to see the sun again someday
You close your eyes, and hope that this is a dream
But all the while, you hear an animal crawling (like a catepillar) behind you, there's no time left
Chorus 2
Because this is Thriller, night of the Thriller
and there's no second opportunity from the thing with 40 eyes
Thriller, night of the thriller
You're fighting for your life within the night of killing sprees, of fear
Bridge
Night beast call
and the Dead start to walk toward the feast
there's no freedom from the teeth of the beast now
this is end of life for you
Verse 3
They come for you, beasts close around you
They will ride you, if you don't change your house
Now is time that you and I hold ourselves close
through the night, I will save you from the terror within your heart, I will test you in action
Chorus 3
This is Thriller, night of the Thriller
Because I can scare you more than any beast
This is Thriller, night of the Thriller
Let me hold you and let's share
A night of killing spree, of fear
tonight
Vincent Price Monologue
Darkness falls upon the grass
Time of midnight, it's near
beasts crawl to search blood
and hunt your people
and if they find anyone
without soul for dancing
they must stand and face dogs of death
and rot within the skin of a corpse
The rottenest smell floats upon the wind
the stink of 40 thousand years
and furry beasts from all the ashes of death
hit from every via point
and while you fight to survive
your body starts to shiver
because no warrior can win victory
from the evil of the thriller
Actual Thriller lyrics
Verse 1
It's close to midnight and something evil's lurkin' in the dark
Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes,
You're paralyzed
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight
Verse 2
You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun
You close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination, girl
But all the while you hear a creature creepin' up behind
You're outta time
Chorus 2
This is thriller, thriller night
There ain't no second chance against the thing with the forty eyes, girl
Thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight
Bridge
Night creatures call
And the dead start to walk in their masquerade
There's no escaping the jaws of the alien this time (they're open wide)
This is the end of your life
Verse 3
They're out to get you, there's demons closing in on every side
They will possess you unless you change that number on your dial
Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together
All through the night I'll save you from the terror on the screen,
I'll make you see
Chorus 3
That this is thriller, thriller night
'Cause I can thrill you more than any ghoul could ever dare try
Thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, thriller, chiller
Thriller here tonight
Chorus 3
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
Girl, I can thrill you more than any ghoul could ever dare try
Thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, thriller
Vincent Price monologue
Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y'all's neighborhood
And whomsoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpse's shell
The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grisly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller
