This just in from Patrick Reyes who says this about our update with the "Duel of the Fates" English translation of "Battle of the Trees:"

I just read your translation of the DOTF lyrics...but, I recently bought the sheet music to DOTF and the lyrics are as follows:

Korah Matah Korah Rahtahmah
Korah Rahtamah Yoodhah Korah
Korah Syahdho Rahtahmah Daanyah
Korah Keelah Daanyah
Nyohah Keelah Korah Rahtahmah
Syadho Keelah Korah Rahtahmah
Korah Daanyah Korah Rahtahmah
Korah Daanyah Korah Rahtahmah
Nyohah Keelah Korah Rahtahmah
Syadho Keelah Korah Rahtahmah
Korah
Korah Matah Korah Rahtahmah
Korah Daanyah Korah Rahtahmah
Nyohah Keelah Korah Rahtahmah
Syadho Keelah Korah Rahtahmah
Korah

So how did they get that poem squeezed into 9 different words?

Here's the answer from Baer:

"Under the tongue root a fight most dread, and another raging, behind, in the head."

Williams apparently translated just that one line. That would explain the repetition in the translation. It is a very significant line since it alludes to how the duel is fought on more than one level two of them being the Jedi vs. the Sith and the Trade Federation vs. Naboo.

Well, there you have it, the sanskrit to DOTF. Enjoy as you listen to the CD on your computer.
