THE PASSING OF THE ELVES (THE ELVISH LAMENT)
text by JRR TOLKIEN, translation by DAVID SALO
( SINDARIN )
Fanuilos heryn aglar!
Rin athar annun-aearath!
Calad ammen i reniar
Mi'aladhremmin ennorath!
(( Snow-white! Snow-white! O Lady clear!
O Queen beyond the Western Seas!
O Light to us that wander there
Amid the world of woven trees! ))
A Elbereth! Gilthoniel!
I chin a thul lin miriel.
Fanuilos! Le linnathon
Ne ndor haer that i aearon!
(( Gilthoniel! O Elbereth!
Clear are thy eyes and bright is breath.
Snow-white! Snow-white! We sing to thee
In a far land beyond the Sea! ))
A elin na gaim eglerib
Ned in ben-anor trerennin.
Si silivrin ne pherth 'waewib
Cenim lyth lthilyn thuiennin!
(( O Stars that shine in the Sunless Year
With shining hand by thee were sown.
In windy filds now bright and clear
We see your silver blossom blown! ))
A Elbereth Gilthoniel!
Men echenim si derthiel
Ne chaered hen nu'aladhath,
Ngilith or annun-aearath.
(( O Elbereth Gilthoniel!
We still remember, we who dwell
In this far land beneath the trees,
Thy starlight on the Western Seas. ))
