Lyrics[1]
Durin ku bin-amrad
Ugmal sullu addad
Ku ba... abad
Ku ganaga
Tur ganâd abanul
Durin ku bin-amrad
Ku bakana
Ana aznân
Undu abad
Ku ganaga aznân.
These are a selection from David Salo's full translation[2] of Philippa Boyens' poem:
Durin ku bin-amrad
Ugmal sullu addad
Ku bakana
Ana aznân
Undu abad
Ku ganaga
Tur ganâd abanul
Durin ku bin-amrad
Uzbad Khazad-dûmu
Ku baraka
Aznân
ra karaka
atkât
ala lukhudizu!
ala galabizu!
ala ukratizu!
Khazad-dûm!
Translation
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!
