The Third Age has ended,
The Days of the Ring are gone,
The Ring-bearers, Elrond bearing Vilya,
Galadriel Nenya, Gandalf Narya
are now together with Bilbo and Frodo.

For it’s now time to go to the Grey Haven in the long firth of Lune,
On the shores of the sea comes the end of the Fellowship of the Ring
« I will not say : do not weep ; for not all tears are evil »

The final Triumph had happened at last. The Dark Lord has fallen
And the Shadow has vanished, defeated by the Light.
The One Ring has fallen
in the depths of Orodruin the Fire-mountain.

Let’s sing Frodo’s feat : the mighty Barad-dûr is destroyed
As well as the mountain-throne, its towers and ramparts made of steel and adamant.

The dungeons, the prisons sheer as cliffs, all has crashed down below a black rain.
Sauron saw his power falling in the volcano
It was too late for the Nazgûls to help him.

The final Triumph had happened at last. The Dark Lord has fallen
And the Shadow has vanished, defeated by the Light.
The Eye of Sauron had never known
about the dim course of Frodo.

Let’s sing warriors’ feat, from Rohan, from Gondor, with Aragorn as the king,
For their furious battle of the Pelennor fields against the multitude of Sauron’s barbarians.

Men sang as they slew, the joy of fighting was in them,
And the sound of their singing was fair and terrible.

The final Triumph had happened at last. The Dark Lord has fallen
And the Shadow has vanished, defeated by the Light.
An the King came back Aragorn
Leader of Men in the Middle-earth

When all’s said and done, the New Age will triumph over the trial of evil
And over the forces of doubt by going over the Ring and its malevolent power

A world of signs, mysteries and drama is dying out
With the Ring, its dark Lord, and other evil spells.
Now it’s time to give peace to Hobbits and to Men,
to the living in the Shire and in the Middle-earth.

The final Triumph had happened at last. The Dark Lord has fallen
And the Shadow has vanished, defeated by the Light.
The heroes of the Ring can rest in peace
They’ve bequeathed a free world.
