Tinco
Notes
A sturdy metal will endure:
On hooves, it keeps the footing sure;
for cooks, sharp blades trump all the rest.
When smiths forge tools, they are the best.

Als hard metaal behoedt ijzer de paardevoet, en geeft de kok een mes; te- recht: smeedwaar is 't beste. |
As a hard metal Iron protects the horse foot [hoof], And gives the cook a knife; Justifiably, forged metal items are the best. |
Ránatar/Maivandion on VL provided a translation into Russian: (МЕТАЛЛ)

Металл все вещи бережёт: С подковой лошадь не падёт, С ножом еду сготовит повар, Без кузнеца как без основы. |
Metal protects all things: A horse will not fall with a horseshoe; with a knife, the cook will cook food; without a blacksmith, as without a foundation. |
