Examples #5: Translate the One Ring poem

Pretty straightforward. You know this, I'm sure.

Three Rings for Elven-kings under the sky.
Seven for Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone.
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die.
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne.
In the Land of Mordor were the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all.
One Ring to find them all.
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
In the Land of Mordor were the Shadows lie.

So - translation & interlinear, in your conlang(s) of choice? Perhaps
a very loose translation, perhaps not; up to you.

 - Sai
