Ring Seek for the Sword that was broken...

There's a post about the Ring poem in other languages, but what about the poem, that Boromir tells at the Council of Elrond? What's IT in other languages?

English:
Seek for the Sword that was broken;
In Imladris it dwells;
There shall be councels taken
Stronger than Morgul-spells.
There shall be shown a token
That Doom is near at hand,
For Isildur's Bane shall waken,
And the Halfling forth shall stand.

Danish:
Bruden er den søgte klinge,
Hviler i Imladris' muld,
Stærke råd de frem må mane:
Overvindes skal Morgul.
Men et tegn må tiden bringe,
Nærmere er Dommens Dag,
Vågne skal Isildurs Bane,
Halvlang ruster sig til slag.

I actually like the meaning of the Danish one... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
