A golden triforce carol

I've been playing with golden triforce recently. I do have an original song that I'm working on, but the other day on the Conlang list there was a discussion about translating Christmas carols into our languages. I thought it would be fun to try translating the first verse and chorus of "We Three Kings" into Tirelat, one of my Sangari languages. The result is "Larhakim":

The guitar is from Garritan Jazz & Big Band, which uses Scala scales, so it's easy to get it to play in triforce. I used Utau to do the voices, using the "t" flag to tune each note (with only 10 cent accuracy, but that's good enough for tunings like this).
