A Journey In The Dark is the twelfth track of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by Howard Shore. The lyrics are written by Philippa Boyens and translated into (debatable) Neo-Khuzdul by David Salo.
Lyrics1
- Durin ku binamrad
Ugmal sulu addad ku ba
Abad ku ganaga
Tur ganad
Abanul Durin
Ku bin Amrad
Ku ba kana a na aznan
Un du abad
Ku gan aga aznan.
No word-for-word-translation is available. The original poem by Philippa Boyens reads:
- Durin who is Deathless
Eldest of all Fathers
Who awoke
To darkness
Beneath the mountain
Who walked alone
Through halls of stone
Durin who is Deathless
Lord of Khazad-dum
Who cleaved
The Dark
And broke
The silence
This is your light!
This is your word!
This is your glory!
The Dwarrowdelf of Khazad-dum!
Since this version is unmistakingly longer, and the Khuzdul version lacks any mention of Khazad-dûm, the transaltion is very liberal.
