HYMN TO ELBERETH
text by J.R.R. TOLKIEN, translation by DAVID SALO
( SINDARIN )
A Elbereth Gilthoniel
Silivren penna m´riel
O menel aglar elenath!
Na-chaeared palan-díriel
O galadhremmin ennorath.
Fanuilos le linnathon
Nef aear, sí nef aearon!
(( O Elbereth Star-kindler
There slants down like shining j**els
From heaven the glory of the stars!
After gazing afar into the distance
From tree-tangled Middle-earth.
Snow-white, I sing to you
Beyond the sea, here beyond the great sea! ))
