Or for the lazy...

Spoiler
dragonborn, dragonborn
by his honor is sworn
to keep evil forever at bay
and the fiercest foes rout
when they hear triumph's shout
dragonborn for your blessing we pray

and the scrolls have fortold
of black wings in the cold
that when brothers wage war come unfurled
alduin bane of kings
ancient shadow unbound
with a hunger to swallow the world


I copy-pasted Karpik's translation and added some corrections - I think he just accidentally skipped the the next line occasionally after scrolling down to check the key.

EDIT: Ninja'd. Lock please.

Awesome, thanks for the translation :) Certainly affirms my hope for one hell of a metaphysics storyline. Interested in seeing how they will handle it if thats the case.

Well, a new language and alphabet created just for TES V and a poem that (at least the first part, which is sung in the trailer) rhymes in both languages probably means that Todd Howard was dead serious when he said he wanted to include 'a more unique sense of culture' (or something like that) for the next TES.

And it basically proves it is not some Akaviri invasion like quite some people claimed, not that's a big surprise because the whole Akaviri Invasion thing didn't make much sense to me in the first place.
