Warrior's Lullaby
Din sings to Grogu while trapped in a cave. Luke is entranced.
Vocal performance by anupalya (me!). Mando’a translation of original lyrics and dinluke-ification by @snaurus / snarechan on ao3. Melody and original lyrics from Rider’s Lullaby as heard in Centaurworld, written by Megan Nicole Dong and performed by Jessie Mueller. Instrumental (karaoke version of the original song) used for this recording from here. Big, BIG thanks to my friends who helped with the editing (you know who you are <3).
This is a musical illustration of/Mando'a cover inspired by a scene from Chapter 5 of The Start, by @snaurus, in which Din sings the Mando'a version of Rider's Lullaby (although he doesn't have the soundtrack accompaniment in the cave with them, of course. At least, not literally).
I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend The Timeline (the series to which The Start belongs). It’s so fun and interesting and full of adventure and shy idiots and chaotic dumbassery, and is just absolutely delightful. I cheer every time a new chapter comes out. This is my fanart of and tribute to their work, and I hope you enjoy.

Mando’a Lyrics (translated by @snaurus):
Gar're jat, gar're an staabi.
Ni'll draar, vurel ba'slanar gar eso.
Ni kelir motir, bal Ni kelir akaanir, ti gar.
...
Gar're jat, gar're an staabi.
Ni'll motir olar, adol te dha ca.
An te ara, Ni kelir akaanir, ti gar.
English/Original (from Centaurworld):
You're okay, you're all right.
I'll never, ever leave your side.
I will stand, and I will fight, with you.
...
You're okay, you're all right.
I'll stand here, through the dark night.
All the way, I will fight, with you.
