Elven song Lyrics (With Translations)

Song to Tinúviel

Tinúviel elvanui (Teen-oo-vee-el el-van-oo-ee)   

Elleth alfirin edhellen (El-leth al-feer-een eth-ell-en)

O hon ring finnil fuinui (O hone ring feen-eel foo-een-oo-ee)

A renc gelebrin thiliol (Ah rehnk gel-eb-reen)

'Tinúviel the elven fair

Immortal maiden elven-wise,
About him cast her shadowy hair
And arms like silver glimmering…'

Aníron

O môr henion i dhû: (Oh moor hen-ee-on ee thoo

Ely siriar, êl síla. (Ay-ly seer-ee-ar, ehl see-lah)

Aníron Undómie. (An-eer-un Oon-do-mee-ehl)

Eria e môr. (Air-ee-ah ay moor)

Luitha ‘úren. (Loo-ee-thah oor-ehn)

From darkness I understand the night:

Ah! I desire Arwen Evenstar.

Look! A star rises out of the darkness.

The song of the star enchants my heart.

Ah! I desire...

Lament for Gandalf

In gwidh restennin I fae narchannen. (Een gweethe ray-sten-neen-een)

I Lach Anor ed archon gwannen 

Mithrandir! A Randir Vithren 

U-reniathach i amar galen 

I reniad lin ne mor  

'Mithrandir, O Pilgrim Grey,

No more you will wander the wold green.

Your jouney in darkness stopped.

The bonds cut, the spirit broken

The Flame of Anor has left this World

Great light has gone out.'

O Queen Beyond the Western Seas

A Bereth thar Ennui Aeair! (Ah bare-eth thar En-noo-ee i-ire)
Calad ammen i reniar (Cah-lahd am-men ee ren-ee-ar)
Mi 'aladhremmin ennorath. (Mee al-adh-rem-meen en-nor-ath)
A Elbereth Gilthoniel (A Elbereth Gilthoniel)
i chin a thûl lín míriel… (Ee cheen ah thool leen meer-ee-el)

'O Queen beyond the Western Seas!

O light to us that wander

Amid the tree-woven middle-lands.

O Elbereth Star-kindler

your eyes and breath are shining like jewels…'

Evenstar

Ú i vethed nâ i onnad.                                          

Si boe ú-dhuanna.                                                

Ae ú-esteli, esteliach nad.

Estelio han, estelio han, estelio.                             

Estelio han, estelio veleth.                     

Esteliach nad, estelio han.

It's not the end, it is the beginning.
You mustn't falter now.

If you don't trust it, trust something.
Trust this, trust this, trust,
Trust this, trust love.
You trust something, trust this.

Breath of Life

Uich gwennen na 'wanath ah na dhín. (Oo-eech gway-nehn nah wah-nuth ah na theen)

An uich gwennen na ringyrn ambar hen. (An oo-eech gway-nehn nah reeng-urn am-bar hen)
Boe naid bain gwannathar, (Boy nide bine gwan-nath-are)
Boe cuil ban firitha. (Boy coo-eel ban feer-ee-tha)
Boe naer gwannathach... (Boy nire gwan-nath-ach)

'You are not bound to loss and silence.
For you are not bound to the circles of this world.
All things must pass away,
All life is doomed to fade.
Sorrowing you must go…
