Since this version is unmistakingly longer, and the [[Khuzdul]] version lacks any mention of [[Khazad-dûm]], the transaltion is very liberal.

Durin ku bin-amrad

Translation[edit | edit source]

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-dûm
Who cleaved
The Dark
And broke
The silence
This is your light!
This is your word!
This is your glory!
The Dwarrowdelf of Khazad-dûm!
