You may be looking for another Mandalorian drinking chant Buy'ce gal, buy'ce tal.

"It was absolutely beautiful. Is it a love song? It sounds so lonely and longing."
"It roughly translates as, 'Nobody likes us but we don't care, because we're Mandos, and we're the best.' Sorry to spoil the illusion."

―Jaina Solo and Goran Beviin^[src]

A Mandalorian drinking chant was believed to have originated from a ban on Geris VI that prohibited Mandalorian mercenaries in the employ of the planetary government, from drinking in the local tapcafs.^[1]

In the year 41 ABY, a group of Mandalorian revelers sang this song during a celebration at Levet's farm. Jedi Knight Jaina Solo, who was on Mandalore and staying at the nearby Beviin-Vasur farm at the time, heard the singing and believed it to be a love song, attributing a much deeper meaning to it's mournful tone due to her lack of knowledge of the Mando'a language. However, after speaking with Goran Beviin, the true nature of the song was explained to Solo, though she would prefer her own interpretation to the much simpler truth.^[2]

Behind the scenesEdit

This drinking chant first canon appeared in the opening of the tenth chapter of the novel, Republic Commando: True Colors by author Karen Traviss, along with a brief history of where it originated in the Star Wars universe. It resurfaced again in Traviss' third entry in the Legacy of the Force series, Revelation.

The chant bears a strong resemblance to the British association football chant, No One Likes Us – We Don't Care. In addition to the fact that Traviss is a native of Britain, further evidence can be found in that the chant features a series of simple word replacements that feature the Mandalorians and their world in place of the Millwall F.C. and its fans.
