ROLLING DOWN TO SUNDARI
It's a damn tough life full of blood and strife
We Mandalorians know.
But we won't give a damn when the hunt is done
How far the trail did go;
For we're bound once more for old Mandalore
Where the guild will pay our fee,
And we won't give a damn when we drink tihaar
With the girls of Sundari.
Rolling down to Sundari, me boys,
Rolling down to Sundari!
We are bound once more for old Mandalore,
Rolling down to Sundari!
Once more today down the Hydian Way,
Through the streaks of hyperspace.
Them desolate plains, them dazzling panes;
Towards them, we now do race.
Six hellish months have come and gone
For this mercenary;
But we're bound once more for old Mandalore,
Rolling down to Sundari.
Rolling down to Sundari, me boys,
Rolling down to Sundari!
We are bound once more for old Mandalore,
Rolling down to Sundari!
Once more today, down the Hydian Way,
Towards our desert home.
Our hunting done, our bounty hung,
And we ain't got far to roam.
Our ship it groans like a strill's old bones;
What care we for that sound?
The Banking Clan is after us,
Thank Kara we're home-bound!
Rolling down to Sundari, me boys,
Rolling down to Sundari!
We are bound once more for old Mandalore,
Rolling down to Sundari!
How soft the breeze, and uj-cake seeds,
Now the law is far astern.
Them tihaar maids, them beskar blades,
We'll raise to our return!
Even now our eyes they all look out
For to sight our next bounty;
So we'll down our gruel and we'll top our fuel,
Putting out from Sundari!
Rolling down to Sundari, me boys,
Rolling down to Sundari!
We are bound once more for old Mandalore,
Rolling down to Sundari!
