khajiit like to sneak
Miracle of Sound Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Khajiit like to sneak
Maneuvers silken and sleek
The darkest corners we seek
In the night

So feline and fair
From the sands of Elsweyr
And through our glistening stare
Perfect sight

Don't leave your treasures ignored
Get bigger bolts on your doors
And tougher locks on your drawers
Watch the street...

You see the stealth is an art
Pick your tumblers apart
You know you never can outsmart
A Khajiit

Be not afraid
Stick to the shade

Khajiit like to sneak
Khajiit like to sneak

Khajiit like to sneak
The rocks of Skyrim so bleak
The frozen boulders and peaks
We avoid

Stick to the cities replete
Move with the quietest feet
Make every fool on the streets
Paranoid

So lock your windows and pray
Your jewels aren't stolen away
Khajiit are coming to play
With your things

Relieving you of your purse
Throughout the guild it's dispersed
And while you crib and you curse
We will sing!

Be not afraid
Stick to the shade

Khajiit like to sneak
Maneuvers silken and sleek
Khajiit like to sneak
The darkest corners we seek
Khajiit like to sneak
Maneuvers silken and sleek




Khajiit like to sneak
The darkest corners we seek

Love this song, 11 stolen sweetrolls out of 10! Because khajiit is that smart in their art.
Approximate Russian translation (in case someone cares for one):

Близкий по смыслу перевод на русский:

Каджит любит красться,
Изящно перемещаться,
Мы рыщем в тёмных углах
По ночам

Кошачий честный народ
В песках Эльсвейра живёт
И нет прекраснее мест
В их очах

Ты за вещами смотри
Навесь засов на двери
И на замки все шкафы
Ты запри...

В скрытности мастерстве
В воровском ремесле
Нет каджита умней
Ты учти

Забудь про страх
Прячься в тенях

Каджит любит красться
Каджит любит красться

Каджит чует страх
В Скайрима мрачных горах
На этих стылых хребтах
Жить не стоит

Чужд городам дефицит
Каджита скрытность хранит
Пускай повсюду царит
Паранойя

Окна запри и молись
Чтоб утром вещи нашлись
Каджиты ночью придут
Поиграть

То тут, то там кошелёк
В карманы шайки утёк
Пусть все рыдают, а мы
Будем ржать

Забудь про страх
Прячься в тенях
Каджит любит красться
Изящно перемещаться
Каджит любит красться
Мы рыщем в тёмных углах
Каджит любит красться
Изящно перемещаться
Каджит любит красться
Мы рыщем в тёмных углах

Skyrim may belong to the Nords, but everything in it belongs to the Khajiit.

Everything including those same Nords.

Still love this game

(Lore hating Argonian here) I like my feline brethren. We're the only two races that evolved straight from animals while still keeping some of the features.

Mai'iq does not steal, he simply borrows shiny objects for an extended time
