Quotes in different languages

Three rings for the elf kings' power up in the blue,
seven for the dwarf counts in the halls of stone,
nine for the mortals, who the road of the flesh shall go,
one for the lord of the darkness in the dim light of the evil
in the giddy mine of the Mordorland.

One ring to unify them,
one ring to promote them,
one ring to deep in the wide country
of the darkness tame them -
in the land of Mordor where the shadows brood...

This is a direct translation from the Swedish version of LotR. Those Entmoot members who have read LotR in another language than English, you are welcome to post your language's versions of different LotR quotes.
