I'm still around!  Here's the Chleweyish-to-Arov=EBn link of the relay chai=
n.
I wasn't altogether sure what to make of #2 and #3 of Carlos's version and =
#4
had an "all" which I thought might have gotten misplaced, but in light of
earlier versions it appears luck was on my side :)

Smoothe English translation:
The great bird sings a beautiful melody.
The bird of the river ruffles its feathers in the mist.
The bird of song speaks of the greatness of (all) the night-time stars.
To this song all of the illustrious ones listen.

The grammatical implication is that we are speaking of three different
birds here, but it is actually just one bird being referred to by several
different names -- the -=E4n is here a repetitious "the" as Fabian correctl=
y
guessed.  Interesting that the "rulers" of earlier translations ended up
as "great ones" in Arov=EBn (they were "leaders" in Carlos' version), only =
to
mutate back to "rulers" again by the end of the relay!
