Back when the game was announced nearly a year ago, we tried to write down what we thought were the lyrics to the main theme featured in the trailer. It was the only other thing to do than write down what we saw on alduins wall or in the trailer. When the Dovahkiin Dovahkiin naal ok zin Los vahriin lyrics came out I was rally excited. We finally had some lyrics that made sense. Since the gameplay trailer we have not known what the lyrics at the beginning were. Only the Dovahkiin Dovahkiin... And so on. But nothing before that.

It has come to my attention the the full lyrics to the song of the dragonborn is contained in a book in skyrim known as Songs of Skyrim.

I am looking for this book. It was written by someone in the bard's college but I can't find it there. Does anyone know where it is located? It's the one that contains the full main theme in both dragonic and in english. It also has age of aggression, Ragnar the red and a few more.

Does anyone know?

I dunno where the book is, but ive got a video for you.

couldn't some1 on pc just use the console to get it?
or is the name of the book enough to do that?

I'm on the 360. Does anyone have any idea? Maybe a place where lots of books are located?

I posted a link. >.>

He's looking for a book not a video with lyrics.

Unfortunately UESP doesn't have the location, and I haven't seen it in game yet... Ill look around though.-

That song doesen't stop from being awesome.

Anyone else have an idea of where to look?

Check peoples' houses. It might be tedious, but I'm sure at least one of Skyrim's citizens owns a copy. I have a feeling that the possessions of each person somewhat reflect their personality (if that helps).

You could try that Orc in the College of Winterhold, his book collection looks like Moses' DVD collection.

The following is an ancient song we've only recently been able to translate. Without a tune or a sure pronunciation the song is lost to time. It's included here to show the deep history of song here in Skyrim. The original version...



Dovahkiin, Dovahkiin, naal ok zin los vahriin,wah dein vokul mahfaeraak ahst vaal!

Ahrk fin norok paal graan fod nust hon zindro zaan, Dovahkiin, fah hin kogaan mu draal!

Huzrah nu, kul do od, wah aan bok lingrah vod, Aahrk fin tey, boziik fun, do fin gein!

Wo lost fron wah ney dov, ahrk fin reyliik do jul, voth aan suleyk wah ronit faal krein!

Ahrk fin zul, rok drey kod, nau tol morokei frod, rul lot Taazokaan motaad voth kein!

Sahrot Thu'um, med aan tuz, vey zeim hokoron pah, ol fin Dovahkiin komeyt ok rein!

Ahrk fin Kel lost prodah, do ved viing ko fin krah, tol fod zeymah win kein meyz fundein!

Alduin, feyn do jun, kruziik vokun staadnau, voth aan bahlok wah diivon fin lein!

Nuz aan sul, fent alok, fod fin vul dovah nok, fen kos nahlot mahfaeraak ahrk ruz!

Paaz Keizaal fen kos stin nol bein Alduin jot, Dovahkiin kos fin saviik do muz!



And the translation...



Dragonborn, Dragonborn, by his honor is sworn, To keep evil forever at bay!

And the fiercest foes rout when they hear triumph's shout, Dragonborn, for your blessing we pray!

Hearken now, sons of snow, to an age, long ago, and the tale, boldly told, of the one!

Who was kin to both wyrm, and the races of man, with a power to rival the sun!

And the Voice, he did wield, on that glorious field, when great Tamriel shuddered with war!

Mighty Thu'um, like a blade, cut through enemies all, as the Dragonborn issued his roar!

And the Scrolls have foretold, of black wings in the cold, that when brothers wage war come unfurled!

Alduin, Bane of Kings, ancient shadow unbound, with a hunger to swallow the world!

But a day, shall arise, when the dark dragon's lies, will be silenced forever and then!

Fair Skyrim will be free from foul Alduin's maw, Dragonborn be the savior of men!
