the lyrics
Lim-strang was geboren
Bearn léod-cyninga
Magorinc Mearces.
Bunden in byrde tó laedenne
Bunden in lufe tó ?egnunge
Lang beadugear cý?a?
Lic onginne? búgan.
Swift déadlic géar Stieppa? geond willan.
Ac éagan gíet lócia? Beorhtre gesih?e;
Heorte gíet béate?.
'Strong-limbed he was born
This son of Kings;
This warrior of Rohan.
Bound by birth to lead.
Bound by love to serve.
Long years of war begin to show.
The body has begun to bend.
Swift mortal years outpace the will.
But the eyes still watch clear-sighted.
The great heart is beating still.
