And in Danish, as promised. Phew, this translation really sucks:

Tre har elvernes konger i dybeste skove,
Syv har dværgenes herrer i sale af sten,
Ni har mennesket dødeligt, dømt til at sove,
Én har mørkets fyrste for ondskab og mén
I Mordors land, hvor skygger ruge.
Én ring er over dem alle,
Én ring kan finde de andre
Én ring kan bringe dem alle,
I mørket lænke dem alle
I Mordors land, hvor skygger ruge.

Probably something like this:

Three have the elven kings in deepest woods
Seven have the dwarf lords in halls of stone
Nine has mortal man, doomed to sleep
One has the prince of darkness for evil and hurt
In the land of Mordor, where shadows brood
One ring is above them all
One ring can find the others
One ring can bring them all
In darkness chain them all
In the land of Mordor, where shadows brood

I really don't get the thing about the nine and the "doomed to sleep" thing. That's one thing they didn't do.
