Howard Shore - Bilbo's Song lyrics

BILBO'S SONG Text by J.R.R. TOLKIEN, translation by DAVID SALO ( SINDARIN ) Im nauthon nan naur nu ngilith O naid i gennin im O lyth e-barth a gwilwilith Ne laer i vanner lim (( I sit beside the fire and think Of all that I have seen Of meadow-flowers and bu*terflies In summers that have been; )) O lhiath a golas malen Ne daint i lais gwennin Na chith ah anor celebren A gwaewath or find nin (( Of yellow leaves and gossamer In autumns that there were With morning mist and silver sun And wind upon my hair. )) Im nauthon na naur vi vuil Maven natha i ardhon Ias tol i riw ben ethuil Ir im u-genithon (( I sit beside the fire and think Of how the world will be When winter comes without a spring That I shall ever see. )) An nadath laew nar annan I ulu im cennin Vin eryn ned ethuil ban Nar ennas laegath gwin (( For still there are so many things That I have never seen In every wood in every spring There is a different green. )) Im hevin nan naur a nauthon O gwaith nedin lu iaur A gwaith i cenitha ardhon Ir istathon u aur (( I sit beside the fire and think Of people long ago And people who will see a world That I shall never know. )) Dan iar im nan naur peliel Oh aurath ioer nauthon Laston a thail etheliel A lemmaid nan annon (( But all the while I sit and think Of times there were before I listen for returning feet And voices at the door. ))
