Words and music by Jeremy Soule © 2011-11-11


	Dovahkiin, Dovahkiin, naal ok zin los vahriin,
	(Dragonborn, Dragonborn, by his honor is sworn,)
	Wah dein vokul mahfaeraak ahst vaal!
	(To keep evil forever at bay!)
	Ahr fin norok paal graan fod nust hon zindro zaan,
	(And the fiercest foes rout when they hear triumph's shout,)
	Dovahkiin fah hin kogaan mu draal!
	(Dragonborn, for your blessing we pray!)

Huzrah nu, kul do od, wah aan bok lingrah vod,
(Hearken now, sons of snow, to an age, long ago,)
Ahrk fin tey, boziik fun, do fin gein!
(And the tale, boldly told, of the one!)

	Rah!
	Hoo-rah!

Wo lost fron wah ney dov, ahrk fin reyliik do jul,
(Who was kin to both wyrm, and the races of man,)
Voth aan suleyk wah ronit faal krein!
(With a power to rival the sun!)

(Next two just 7 seconds each; double speed @ 1:40-1:54)

Ark fin Kel / lost prodah, do ved viing / ko fin krah,
(And the Scrolls have foretold, of black wings in the cold,)
Tol fod zeymah / win kein meyz / fundein!
(That when brothers wage war come unfurled!)

Alduin, feyn do jun, kruziik vokun staadnau,
(Alduin, Bane of Kings, ancient shadow unbound,)
Voth aan bahlok / wah diivon / fin lein!
(With a hunger to swallow the world!)


Nuz aan sul, fent alok, fod fin vul dovah nok,
(But a day, shall arise, when the dark dragon's lies,)
Fen kos nahlot mahfaeraak ahrk ruz!
(Will be silenced forever and then!)
		Paaz Keizaal fen kos stin nol bein Alduin jot,
		(Fair Skyrim will be free from foul Alduins maw,)

	Dovahkiin, Dovahkiin, naal ok zin los vahriin,
	(Dragonborn, Dragonborn, by his honor is sworn,)
	Wah dein vokul mahfaeraak ahst vaal!
	(To keep evil forever at bay!)
	Ahr fin norok paal graan fod nust hon zindro zaan,
	(And the fiercest foes rout when they hear triumph's shout,)
	Dovahkiin fah hin kogaan mu draal!
	(Dragonborn, for your blessing we pray!)

		Ah, hu-ah, hu-ah, hurrah!
		Hu-ah, hu-ah, hu-ah, yah!
