bom chorghmaH vagh (Carmen LXXXV)

jImuS ‘ej jIparHa’. qatlh jIchenmoHegh, chaq chotlhob

jISovbe’, ‘ach qaSbogh vIHot, ‘ej jIbech.

I should indicate that I am unsure of "qaSbogh" in the second line. I have always translated the "fieri" as indirect speech, so "I feel that it is happening (to me).", and so the translation for the second line from the Klingon here would be "I do not know, but i feel it which happens, and I suffer". Indirect speech really doesn't seem to work the same way in Klingon.
