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.

A translation into Dutch: (METAAL)

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.
