House of the Dragon - Rhaenyra Targaryen Theme - With Additional High Valyrian Lyrics

Illustration by yours truly.
Ever since watching House of the Dragon season 1, I often find this theme stuck in my brain. Technically it's called "The Power of Prophecy", but many simply refer to it as Rhaenyra's theme, despite the fact that she has a number of motifs. I wanted to make a fairy straight forward recreation of the song, but with a twist.
You may notice some additional vocals in the middle and at the end, which I have done my best to write in High Valyrian. Some lines were plucked directly from the show, while others were written with some help from the High Valyrian sub Reddit. I'm sure I've made mistakes in some of the artistic liberties I took, but I enjoy the added flavour of singing in this beautiful conlang, which was created by David J. Peterson.
By the by, this video is not sponsored in any way, but I'd gladly work with HBO Max if they reached out. ;) I hope you're all enjoying season 2!
Lyrics:
Ānogro syt ānogar (Blood for blood)
Kasta zōbrie siñas (Green becomes black)
Tresy dōrī kesan (I will never be a son)
Ñuhor līr gūrēnna (I will take what is mine)

Yep, pretty much. Even Robert Baratheon descends from Rhaenyra, Viserys, Daemon and Aemma.

If you ever make a CD you might want to reach out to the good people at Shire Post Mint and see if they'd stock it in their store. It would fit in with some of their GoT things. Love the arrangement and rendition!!!! 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@JiwonChu1996]

I saw your post on the High Valyrian subreddit and I just knew we were gonna get something absolutely phenomenal from you, just like Jenny's song. This is beautiful! Lovely pronunciation. As a big Conlang nerd and a fan of George's works, I'm very passionate about High Valyrian. In my obsessive dorky opinion, you NAILED IT! Such perfect High Valyrian WHILE SINGING! Even Matt Smith bungled the singing Valyrian, but you've knocked it out of the park! You sound lovely, and your Valyrian was just as beautiful as your vocals. I cannot get enough! Do you think you might ever cover the song Daemon sings to Vermithor? I'm sure you would do wonderfully.

[@Hildegardvonblingin]

Thank you so much! Luckily my brother has a Linguistics degree and alerted me to the fact that y is pronounced like ü, which I almost missed. This was super fun to tackle. I hadn’t planned on covering it, but maybe eventually!

[@user-zr6er2xs3w]

[@unknown.1043]

You should say Protectrix of the Realm because she’s a lady and a queen. Not a man.

[@isadora9062]

@@unknown.1043 isnt Protector a gender neutral term? English is not my native language 😅

[@unknown.1043]

@@isadora9062 In modern English, the term "protector" is commonly used. However, considering the medieval setting and atmosphere of the show, I believe using archaic English words such as "protector" for males and "protectrix" for females, which reflect gender distinctions, would be more fitting.

Hildegard: another masterpiece. I love your lyrics and lyrical voice. They should pay you for advertising for them. Yesterday I got totally Bard Rolled by Algal and I thought maybe the two of you might do a version with vocals. Something like: Never will give thee up Never will let thee down Never will foul around and desert thee Never will make thee cry Never bid thee goodbye Never will tell a lie and besmirch thee... Please? Maybe?
