歌词与中文翻译
We heard of the horns in the hills ringing,
我们知道，曾经山峦间战角轰鸣。
the swords shining in the South-kingdom.
在南方王国，兵刃出鞘烨烨。
Steeds went striding to the Stoningland
骏马疾驰，犹如晨风
as wind in the morning. War was kindled.
奔向石国，战火燃起。
There Théoden fell, Thengling mighty,
那里陨落了森格尔之子，伟大的希奥顿，
to his golden halls and green pastures
全军的统帅，
in the Northern fields never returning,
再也不曾回到他的金殿，不曾回到北方的牧地绿野。
high lord of the host. Harding and Guthláf,
哈尔丁与古斯拉夫，
Dúnhere and Déorwine, doughty Grimbold,
敦赫雷，狄奥威奈，还有勇毅的格里姆博德，
Herefara and Herubrand, Horn and Fastred,
赫勒法拉，赫鲁布兰德，霍恩与法斯特雷德，
fought and fell there in a far country:
个个力战而亡，在遥远的异域
in the Mounds of Mundburg under mould they lie
与他们的盟友，刚铎的统领们
with their league-fellows, lords of Gondor.
长眠在蒙德堡的墓丘下，沃土中。
Neither Hirluin the Fair to the hills by the sea,
白肤希尔路因，永别故乡海边的丘陵，
nor Forlong the old to the flowering vales
还有老佛朗，再也不能凯旋
ever, to Arnach, to his own country
故园阿尔那赫，百花绽放的山谷。
returned in triumph; nor the tall bowmen,
高大的弓手，
Derufin and Duilin, to their dark waters,
德茹芬与杜伊林，回不去幽深的黑水
meres of Morthond under mountain-shadows.
群山影下，墨松德的小湖。
Death in the morning and at day's ending
从拂晓到日暮，死亡一视同仁
lords took and lowly. Long now they sleep
攫住了领主与平民。他们早已安息在
under grass in Gondor by the Great River.
刚铎的长草下，大河边。
Grey now as tears, gleaming silver,
如今流水粼粼，如银如泪，
red then it rolled, roaring water:
在那一日，却曾咆哮奔流，河水尽赤，
foam dyed with blood flamed at sunset;
血映残阳，染红了白浪；
as beacons mountains burned at evening;
当暮色中烽火点燃群山，
red fell the dew in Rammas Echor.
拉马斯埃霍尔的朝露也染血而逝。
