1. Ships of Umbar
Gems on silky clothes,
Fellows brave and bold,
Ships of Umbar carry
Nothing but the gold!
Various roads a sailor finds -
Merry women, scarlet wines,
Blood in battles, wine at feast,
Sail is black as a raven's wings!
To the Death, the beast of prey,
With a royal gift we pay -
Not with coins and other trash, -
With the bloody human flesh.
Flying with the western wind,
We are bane of Gondor's lands,
Loyal children of the sea,
Lady Fortune's loving friends!
Golden clothes and sail is black,
Scarlet snake is on the flag,
No ship is coming back
With no haul!
