English (Literal)

Three Rings for Kings of Elves under the heaven,
Seven for the Lords of Dwarves in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men, doom of death having,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the realm of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
     One Ring for ruling all, One Ring for finding,
     One Ring for bringing all and then in darkness binding
In the realm of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

English (Original)

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the 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 where the Shadows lie.
     One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
     One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
