SingoHandmade Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Greetings fellow Dragonborns, from Iran`s beating heart, aka Tehran! I am a self-thought English speaker, solely by games and gaming communities, most notably, the Guild Wars 2 and CS:GO. However, with internet censorship and speed / economical problems in my country, having a modern pc and good stable internet is an out-of-reach dream, or a nightmare, if wanna be frank. As an Iranian, and a lover of past eras, I am a great fan of Pre - 1979 Iranian Songs of all genres, Traditional, Folk, Pop, Jazz, and so on! So many great artists out there, just to name a few: Vigen, Delkash, Elaheh, Iraj, Mahasti, Hayedeh, Sima Bina, Sima Mafiha, Gloria Rouhani, and many others. I wish to see one such mod in Skyrim World, as well! I sincerely ask this from you, talented / interested mod authors. my English literature is not high enough to make a decent translation of these songs, but managed to make some easy to catch translations. here is an example: This Song is called "The hut of sadness" by "Banafsheh", a singer from the late 50's. Here is a rough translation of this song: In the land of your sorrow, I am a prisoner Like a chicken with tied wings Where is a lover so distressed like me in the world? The mark of your missed love, carved on my forehead In the land of your sorrow, I am a prisoner Like a chicken with tied wings My eyes watching your way, come My heart is shattered in the chest , come I am lonely tree in the desert of pain Silent and cold, as a hut of Sadness May I always have sweet memories of your love But this broken heart cannot be alive far away from you You even didn’t care about me and my pains You even didn’t care about my broken heart Nothing is remained of your love, but grief Grief that will take my life finally May I always have sweet memories of your love But this broken heart cannot be found far away from you You even didn’t care about me and my pains You even didn’t care about my broken heart All remained from your memories, is nothing but grief and pain This grief will kill me someday All remained from your memories, is nothing but grief and pain This grief will kill me someday --- Now, what's inside my mind, you're asking! very simple: adding these songs as Audio Files to game, and their English Translations as Note for Players. these notes will have other information, such as songwriter, composer, poet, lyricist, year of performance, etc. , example of above, would be something like this: Song Name: Kolbeh - ye Gham [Hut of Sadness] Singer: Banafsheh Words: Reza Shamsaa Melody: Hossein Kasaaian Year: No Information Available ATM. . There would be extra notes called "biographies" for Singers, Songwriters and others. Last thing, about Copyrights; most of these songs are under general rules, it`s safe to use them in games as mods, as long as its free of charge. I would be very glad to know your thinking , ideas and suggestions about the topic. Thanks in Advance, Singo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these sites accessible there? Unfortunately, none are available! you need vpn. just a friendly advise: install as many vpns as you have free space in your phone / laptop. almost 99.99 % of web is not accessible! I personally have over 350 vpns on my pc and around 100 on mobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlazeStryker Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 I hoped you might think well of this. Shumer is apparently meant to be based on Sumerian culture, so Persian folk tales and sagas might do very well. I believe that the author of We Are the Music Makers is resuming work on his bard expansion for Skyrim so creating a series of recitations for the oral tradition in Shumer may be appropriate; I can't speak for the creators of that huge new land but I can't imagine you being turned away brusquely if you have a strong sampling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
