原文是這樣的:

Three rings for the Eleven-kings under the sky,

Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,

Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,

One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne,

In the Land of Mordor, where the shadows lie.

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,

One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.

In the Land of Mordor, where the shadows lie.

這個是大陸的譯林版魔戒中的譯段:

三大戒指歸屬天下小精靈諸君，

七大戒指歸屬石廳小矮人諸王，

九枚戒指屬於陽壽可數的凡人，

還有一枚屬於高居御座的黑魁首。

莫都大地黑影幢幢。

一枚戒指統領眾戒，盡歸羅網，

一枚戒指禁錮眾戒，昏暗無光。

莫都大地黑影幢幢。
