THE BALROG text by PHILIPPA BOYENS, translation by DAVID SALO ( KHUZDÛL ) Ubzar ni kâmin Aznân taburrudi Iklal tanzifi bashukimâ (( Deeper into the earth The dark grows heavy Cold snaps our bones )) Uzbar ni kâmin Gilim Sanzigil Shakar ra udlag (( Deeper into the earth There, the glint of mithril Sharp and far away )) Ubzar ni kâmin Tada aklat gagin Ugrûd tashurrukimâ (( Deeper into the earth That sound again Dread surrounds us )) Maku kataklutimâ? Askad gabil Tashfati ni azanân Kâmin takalladi! Tabriki! Takarraki Maku zatansasimisâ? (( Can no one hear us? A great shadow Moves in the dark The earth shakes! Cracks! Splits! Will no one save us? )) Urus! Urus ni buzra! Arrâs talbabi fillumâ! Ugrûd tashniki kurdumâ! Lu! Lu! Lu! Urkhas tanakhi! (( Fire! Fire in the deep! Flames lick our skin! Fear rips our hearts! No! No! No! The demon comes! ))
