A couple of weeks late but it's finally that time again, and another song about The Expanse. Seriously, you guys, this series is so damn good, so full of heart and wonder and terror, I would recommend it to anybody.
Chorus performed by Setara, many thanks for everything you do!
Special thanks to Belter Stark for introducing Setara and I to the wider Lang Belta community, as well as Nick Farmer for creating the language itself. Memrise also do a Lang Belta handbook, which you can look into here if you're interested;

Lyrics
That's not the sound of the war-drums
That's not the sound of retreat
Bera the the sound of Beltalowda finding their feet
That's not the sound of an army
That's not the sound of defeat
That's the sound of the rousing of the foundlings that you cast into the street
Chorus
Dewe da lifit Beltalowda kowpelesh
Du wow fo feriting wit kori to, kopeng
Fo sémpere milowda gútegow fo de Belte
Yam seng! Yam seng! Yam seng!
That's not the march of an army
Exiled to deep space
This is a call to leyalting unte meyo fo the outcast and misplaced
This is a call to shukumi
This is a call to ascend
This is a call to survive and to thrive and to rise in pash, kopeng
Can you feel it in the decking?
Can you feel it in the air?
Can you feel Beltalowda cast off the yoke of despair?
Can you feel it through your mag-boots?
Can you feel it in your chest?
Can you feel Beltalowda rising up to the test?
This is the sound of your sharpness
This is the sound of your strengths
This is the sound of your comrades who'll back you to any length
This is the sound of your people
This is the sound of your pride
This is the sound of de Belte, it's the song of your lives
