Rent‘s “Seasons of Love” is oddly lovely in Klingon

Rachel Bloom sang her way into our hears with her tribute to our favorite Martian chronicler, “Fuck Me, Ray Bradbury.” She seals the deal with this cover of “Seasons of Love” from the musical Rent, translated into the dulcet tones of the Klingon language.

Bloom performed this song at last year’s WorldCon, after “Fuck Me, Ray Bradbury” was nominated for a Hugo Award. She could stand to go a bit more guttural on the accent, but the Klingon words work strangely well with the wistful tune. Now I wonder how the rest of Rent would play “in the original Klingon.” Do Klingon bohemians carry bat’leth’s?
