Mandalorian Songs

"Vode An", meaning "Brothers All", was an ancient Mandalorian war chant sung in Mando'a. During his training of the clone troopers of the Galactic Republic, Jango Fett revised a number of chants, including "Vode An", replacing traditional Mandalorian keywords with more appropriate Republic ones. In this instance, it is presumable that he replaced "Mandalore" with "Coruscant".

The chants were sung by the clone troopers with the accompaniment of drums and horns. Contents
