pân i valt law thilia,
law pain i reviar mistar aen;
iaur i vell law thinnatha,
law thynd dyfn na-niss rathar aen.
o lith naur echuiathar aen,
calad od dúath thuiatha;
adamminen i vagol vreithannen,

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
