And here is an approximate translation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From our homeland we departed, \/ farmers on a quest for glory.
The mountain stood \/ before us travelers,
A treacherous waste, \/ but we ascended.
Land-hoard guardians \/ blocked our path;
These vile dragons \/ we slew with poison.
The land-hoard and dragon corpses \/ we consumed and discarded,
Overgrown with plants of the slaughter, \/ as our people followed.
Blood mixed with the waterways \/ as we feasted,
As the fish sickened, \/ here no longer farmers,
As the doves fell silent, \/ here now kings of mankind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
