Decoding Symbols
Tireless fans who tirelessly deciphered the text from the cover of the February issue of Game Informer have finally succeeded and revealed the mystery of these lines.
It all started when the first word was deciphered - DOVahKiiN. Following that, the entire song was translated first into the dragon language and then into English.
TEXT IN DRAGON LANGUAGE:
DOVahKiiN DOVahKiiN
NaaL OK ZIN LOS VahRiiN

TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH:
Dovahkiin Dovahkiin
By his honor is sworn
To keep evil forever at bay
And the fiercest foes rout
When they hear triumph's shout
Dovahkiin for your blessing we pray
And the scrolls have fortold
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
TRANSLATION INTO RUSSIAN:
Довакин, Довакин
В честь твою клянёмся
Вечно держать зло в цепях
И сильнейший враг бежит
Заслышав триумфальный крик
Довакин, молим о твоём благословении
И свитки предсказали
О чёрных крыльях во хладе
Что когда братья развяжут войну, придёт во всей силе
Алдуин погибель королей
Древняя всесильная тень
Жаждущая пожрать мир
Alduin is a deity from the pantheon of Skyrim, the northern variant of the Great Dragon of Time. According to myths, he devoured the old world in order to birth a new one.
