On the day I was born
the nurses all gathered round
and they gazed in wild wonder
at the joy they had found.
The head nurse spoke up,
said "leave this one alone."
She could tell right away
that I was bad to the bone.

jInaSchu' vaj.
As soon as I was born, immediately
governesses assembled from everywhere.
And while their eyes were amazed,
they spied on the impressive great one.
Suddenly the chief governess said:
"Dread ye this belligerent baby!"
Because she realised my status correctly:
this warrior is as vicious as possible.
I broke a thousand hearts
before I met you.
I'll break a thousand more, baby,
before I am through.
I wanna be yours, pretty baby,
yours and yours alone.
I'm here to tell ya, honey,
that I'm bad to the bone.

'a SoHvaD jIja'nIS:
jInaSchu' vaj.
A thousand hearts had become worn out,
lover, before I met you.
A thousand more will be worn out, too,
before I suspect that I will cease.
I intend for you to have me, lover.
Have me all to yourself.
But I must report to you:
this warrior is as vicious as possible.
I'll make a rich woman beg
and I'll make a good woman steal.
I'll make an old woman lust
and I'll make a young girl squeal.
I wanna be yours, pretty baby,
yours and yours alone.
I'm here to tell ya, honey,
that I'm bad to the bone.

'a SoHvaD jIja'nIS:
jInaSchu' vaj.
I make a rich woman beg.
I make an honourable woman steal.
I make an old woman mate.
I make a young girl ruthless.
I intend for you to have me, lover.
Have me all to yourself.
But I must report to you:
this warrior is as vicious as possible.
When I walk the streets
kings and queens step aside.
Every woman I meet ---
they all stay satisfied.
I wanna tell ya, pretty baby,
what I see I make my own.
And I'm here to tell ya, honey,
that I'm bad to the bone.
 		vengHeDaq jIyItDI',
nechqang je yejquv.
bong be' vIqIHDI',
tugh yonqa'meH muwuv.
SoHvaD ghu'wIj vIja'nIS:
Qu' vIra'DI', lulaj.
'ej vIt yIHonQo':
jInaSchu' vaj.
As soon as I walk in the street path,
even the Klingon High Council is willing to move to one side.
As soon as I accidentally meet a woman,
she is soon dependent on me to attain satisfaction again.
I must report my situation to you:
as soon as I order the mission, they do accept it.
And do not doubt the truth:
this warrior is as vicious as possible.
