Naasad'guur mhi – Mhi n'ulu

This Mandalorian drinking chant was believed to have originated from a ban on Geris VI that prohibited Mandalorian mercenaries in the employ of the planetary government, from drinking in the local tapcafs.

In 41 ABY, a group of Mandalorian revelers sang this song during a celebration at Levet's farm. Jedi Knight Jaina Solo, who was on Mandalore and staying at the nearby Beviin-Vasur farm at the time, heard the singing and believed it to be a love song, attributing a much deeper meaning to it's mournful tone due to her lack of knowledge of Mando'a. However, after speaking with Goran Beviin, the true nature of the song was explained to Solo, though she would prefer her own interpretation to the truth.

In Mando'a
''Naasad'guur mhi,

''Naasad'guur mhi,

''Naasad'guur mhi,

''Mhi n'ulu,

''Mhi Mando'ade,

''Kandosii'ade,

''Teh Manda'yaim,

Mando'ade.

Basic translation

From Mandalore.

Behind the scenes
This drinking chant first appeared in the opening of the tenth chapter of Republic Commando: True Colors by Karen Traviss, along with a brief history of where it originated in-universe. It resurfaced again in Traviss' third entry in the Legacy of the Force series, Revelation.

The chant bears a strong resemblance to the British association football chant, No One Likes Us – We Don't Care. In addition to the fact that Traviss is a native of Britain, further evidence can be found in that the chant features a series of simple word replacements that feature the Mandalorians and their world in place of the Millwall F.C. and its fans.
