Does anyone have it written down somewhere or know it of by heart. If so, could you tell me what it is?

Disturb not the harmony of fire, ice, and lightning
Lest these titans wreak destruction upon the world in which they clash
Though the Water's Great Guardian shall arise to quell the fighting, alone its song will fail
Thus the Earth shall turn to Ash
O Chosen One, into thine hands bring together all three
Their treasures combined tame the beast of the sea
From the trio of islands, ancient spheres shall you take
For between life and death, all the difference you'll make
Climb to the shrine to right what is wrong
And the world shall be healed by the guardian's song.

I can give you the Dutch version >.<
(I know you don't need it, but I'm posting it :P)

It's a bit different then the original one.

"Gij zult nimmer de harmonie tussen vuur, ijs en bliksem verstoren
opdat deze opperwezens niet met elkaar in botsing zullen komen
en de ondergang van de wereld zullen veroorzaken.
Ofschoon de grote beschermer uit het water zal opreizen,
zal zonder hulp zijn lied wegsterven
zodat de aarde zich tot as (ash) zal keren.
O uitverkorene, breng met uw handen alledrie tezamen
hun krachten verenigd, temmen het beest van de zee."

"Thy will never disturb the harmony between fire, ice and lightning
sothat these titans won't clash with each other.
and create the world's doom.
although the great guardian will arise out of the water
his song will die without help.
Sothat the earth will turn to ash.
O chosen one, bring with your hands all three together
their powers united, tame the beast of the sea"

This is (almost) litterally translated from the one above.

I got to admit it, the English one is better.
(this comes from the beginning)

The Japanese version is a little shorter:

Never catch a god of fire, a god of thunder, or a god of ice.
If that would ever happen, it will evoke their anger and the marine god would destroy Heaven and Earth.
The world would fall to ruins.

That's short.
I still prefer the english one. X.X
it sounds more like an ancien prophecy.

it was shorter because the english version found the poetic use of the name/word "ash"
