Öt arany gyűrűje
Négy énekesmadara

És egy fogolya körtefán

It should be énekesmadár (remember, always singular nouns after numerals), but I used the possessive forms here because I wanted to express what János owns.
My name is Joyce. I once had an Italian landlady who called me "Joss-ee," based on the spelling of my name, I guess. I never corrected her, and I just thought of it as a nickname.
I don't mind if someone pronounces my name with an accent, because at some point, people lose the ability to mimic perfectly sounds that aren't in their language, and they'll never get it exactly right.
I'm sure I would feel differently if everyone called me Joss-ee, though. :)
When I was a child I found it fascinating to move my mouth and lips and tongue to try to see how many different kinds of sounds I could make. I think it started when I was curious about long "e" being a single sound but long "i" being made up of two sounds (which I can't seem to get my reading specialist sister to comprehend).
I also decided that there had to be more "notes" to be sounded besides those on a regular scale (at the time I only knew about "do re me" not the standard scale with sharps and flats) and I played with musical sounds as well.
"ahol az árnyékok hazudnak" Interesting, the shadows are telling lies ... or just that the word "lie" has two meanings.
Otherwise, impressive translation!
Here, I found the official one:
Három Gyűrű ragyogjon a tünde-királyok kezén,
Hét a nemes törpök jussa, kiknek háza cifra kő,
Kilencet halandó ember ujján csillantson a fény,
Egyet hordjon a Sötét Úr, szolganyájat terelő,
Mordor éjfekete földjén, sűrű árnyak mezején.
Egy Gyűrű mind fölött, Egy Gyűrű kegyetlen,
Egy a sötétbe zár, bilincs az Egyetlen,
Mordor éjfeket földjén, sűrű árnyak mezején.
Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
