Borethian Rhapsody
One has not truly heard Queen until one has heard it in the original Klingon.
Even I think it’s a bit cringe, but I have to admire the dedication. I’m sure I translated Only You myself at one point.

The other one.
I was on a work trip years ago with nothing but my laptop, the hotel TV and very spotty wi-fi. That Mike Myers film, So I Married an Axe Murderer was on and in that film there’s a character who can sing Only You (The Platters one) in a dozen different languages. I was bored, and I remembered I had the Klingon dictionary as a PDF, so I thought what the hell. I probably still have it saved on the laptop.

Some things are best left unmolested.
I envisaged an AI voice trying to sing like Beth Gibbons in Klingon. I did have food poisoning though.

Isn't a food poisoning induced fever dream what prompted Cameron to make Terminator?
Neither you nor Beth Gibbons have nothing to fear from me. I might translate the lyrics just for something to do but I'd never be so cruel as to subject anyone to me trying to sing them.
