naal ok zin los vahriin
wah dein vokul mahfaeraak ahst vaal!
Ahrk fin norok paal graan

Dovahkiin, fah hin kogaan mu draal!
Huzrah nu, kul do od, wah aan bok lingrah vod
Ahrk fin tey, boziik fun, do fin gein!
Wo lost fron wah ney dov

Ahrk fin kel lost prodah,
Do ved viing ko fin krah,

The lyrics to Jeremy Soule's song "Dragonborn" are written in the dragon language from the game series "The Elder Scrolls". It is a song of heroic triumph, describing the power and ability of the Dovahkiin, or Dragonborn.
The first verse begins with "Dovahkiin, Dovahkiin, naal ok zin los vahriin," which translates to "Dragonborn, Dragonborn, by his honor is sworn." This sets up the idea that the Dovahkiin is a powerful and honorable figure in the game's lore.
The next line, "wah dein vokul mahfaeraak ahst vaal," translates to "To keep evil forever at bay." This reinforces that the Dovahkiin is a protector and fighter against evil forces.
The second verse has the line "Alduin, feyn do jun, kruziik vokun staadnau," which translates to "Alduin, our lord, appears in his power." Alduin is the main antagonist of the game, and the line implies that the Dovahkiin is ready to face him in battle.
Overall, the lyrics to "Dragonborn" paint a powerful picture of the Dovahkiin as a heroic figure fighting against evil.
