"Легенда о принце" - "Дуэль", перевод мой
The Duel

Hail the honour in ringing silence
Hail the honour in raving madness
Glorified by courtly eloquence
Hardly valued by sense and prudence

Honour measures a consort's behaviour
Honour measures a warrior’s bravery
Honour’s striding along with insolence
Honour’s striding along with arrogance

Honour one swears on and then it’s given up
Honour one serves with, honour one asks for
Honour one sells out and then it’s taken up
Honour one earns and honourably then goes

Honour falls on one with grave finality
Crying blood on the blade as it falls
Honour’s one step from immortality
Honour’s one step from death that follows!

Code of honour's inscribed in crimson
Binds inseparably blood and honour
In a game for the highest stake it seems
Only honest steel does the honours!
