Hello!

I can give you the translation of the poem in dutch (yeah, it's even translated in dutch, amazing in'it [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img])

Drie Ringen voor de Elfenkoningen op aard',
Zeven voor de Dwergvorsten in hun zalen schoon,
Negen voor de mensen, die de dood niet spaart,
Eén voor de Zwarte Heerser op zijn zwarte troon
In Mordor, waar de schimmen zijn,
Eén Ring om allen te regeren, Eén Ring om hen te vinden,
Eén Ring die hen brengen zal en in duisternis binden,
In Mordor, waar de schimmen zijn.

A so-so translation would be:

Three Rings for the Elvenkings on earth,
Seven for the Dwarvenlords in their beautiful halls,
Nine for the humans, who aren't spared from death,
One for the Dark Ruler on his black throne,
In Morder, where the shades are,
One Ring to rule them all, one Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them,
In Mordor, where the shades are.

Fortunately the last part is almost the same

When I can find some more time, I'll try to look op the translations for some names and places...null
