LYRICS:

inkhî, haburmâ (come, let us listen)
d'aglâb' girgîn (to the language of the tavern)
mamziri bazarî (we work in the deeps)
na 'ubzar mashliki, lai'! (yet deeper we drink, look!)

d'agnud tâti kêlar (to dig is the supreme life)
nê irzimhu! (don't believe it!)
raim'-zu zatakrifi (your back will break)
'uglakhul du ashluk garg (better to drink ale)

hâmazun, masalumôn (your tankards, let them be filled)
tarâgzun, birasalunôn (your beards, let them be drenched)
haddarzun, mahmagumôn (your barrels, let them roll)
khama lu mêmari! (because we aren't leaving!)

Disclaimer concerning Dwarvish language used:
Khuzdul is the language of the Dwarves in J.R.R. Tolkien's legendarium set in Middle-earth.
For the creation of a fully speakable Dwarvish language (known as TDS Neo-Khuzdul) the available Tolkien material, David Salo's Neo-Khuzdul and Khuzdul used in SSG's LoTRO have been used.
This is my personal interpretation of Tolkien's dwarvish language, I do not claim this content to be canon.

In the backstories of my girlfriend’s dnd character and mine too, they were best friends. Mine is the exliled Jarl of a village of sorts, with a large dwarf population. They both play the lute and like to sing, and this was like their song. A song my character was taught in his village and now sung it with her on their adventures. Now this song ultimately reminds me of her. You are a great songwriter man, keep ‘em coming! And I’m gonna miss you, Roxy <3

[JiffyPopLuv]

I'm playing a dwarf in a rpg and this is his favorite song to sing. The rest of the party and the gm love it too

[LordGirion]

Please more Khazdul lessons!! I have been on the hunt for someone who can teach Khazdul and I came across this channel, and loved it immediately. I don’t know if you will read this but please, your the only good teacher.

[WolffBachner]

I love this. Many Thanks from someone who has read Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit twice a year since 1965.

[naomiuchiha]

Wonderful. I'm so glad you make continuously lore content for this beautiful language

[jackwooten]

Please continue with these videos and lessons. You are the only prolific scholar I’ve found on Khuzdûl.

[zoramaitken]

This is fantastic. Could you put up the basic chord progression? Would love to play this for the dwarves at my local LARP :)

[bugsmith]

im really loving the music, you have done a great job with the language, it sounds very beautiful in song!

[tinollacer]

I cannot stop listening to this... This week I'm with this on bucle.... hahaha

[A_list_fiver]

Man even now this is a masterful piece of art

[LuNo]

I am impressed! So amazing... I can feel this dwarvish vibe very well!

[tomaspol]

Wow, this is a breathtaking piece of work. Even more so since it's composed in Khuzdul, couldn't imagine such a smooth song in it, until now. If I didn't know what language it's in, I wouldn't have a chance to notice. I hope you'll bless us with more commendable work such as this in the future!

[justforfun]

We want more like this plzz Don't stop keep it up !!!!

[lagartopeixoto]

fã dos anãos de tolkien e sua cultura e musica, from Brasil u.u

[Fiddlewold]

Dude this is so cool, love that the language is from Tolkien ❤

[ashwinnmyburgh]

This is beautiful and awesome, just like Khuzdul! I am also very glad to see you still make videos!

[Mr_Doughkage]

This is amazing!!! I'm going to take forever to learn this properly. HAHA!
I believe I learned it. Now teaching my children the lyrics. They love this song.

[naomiuchiha]

Omg I just imagined...a collab between the Dwarrow Scholar and Skàld

[arcanos]

Hope this video gets recommended to everyone. Khazad ai menu!

[NCRVeteranRanger_]

Hope You see this, this is great video and amazing song. I don't know for others, but I find pronounciation of this song to not be so hard. Keep up the good work
