| Pent Malbeth i Diriel:
Erin ennor pelia gwathand,
nan annûn rovail môr rimmol.
I vinas gîr. Nan serch erain
manadh anglenna. I echui
I Firn. I lû Gwedwerwaith tôl:
Ne Gond Erech adylithar;
Lastathar romru ath emyn.
Man gerel rom? Man estol hain
E thinnu thind, i 'waith ú-rîn?
I chîl pen amman gwestanner.
O Forven telitha. Baur horth(ol).
Athratha Fen nadh Raid i Firn.
| Spoke Malbeth the Seer:
Over the land there lies a long shadow,
westward reaching wings of darkness.
The Tower trembles. To the tombs of kings
doom approaches. It is the awakening
of the dead. The time of the Oathbreakers comes:
at the Stone of Erech they shall stand again
and hear [there] a horn in the hills ringing.
Whose shall the horn be? Who [shall] call them
from the grey twilight, the forgotten people?
The heir of him to whom the oath they swore.
From the North shall he come, need driving:
He shall pass [the] Door to the Paths of the Dead.
