  • Can you write the elvish lyrics?:)

  • @Stasica

    Thank you very much!

  • It's written that Tolkien saw the Elves largely as a dark-haired race. Just the Vanyar he describes as a golden blonde race. Ok yes, there are some exceptions like among the Teleri Cirdan and Celeborn were silver-haired and Thranduil blonde.

    The most beautiful Elves ever lived were Ecthelion,Luthien and Arwen. And all three had dark hair.

  • only the wood elves are blonde. which includes the gladhirim and the court of Mirkwood. those of Rivendell are brunettes, and the grey elves of the east have black hair. the only colors not found are red and grey hair.

  • At 2:22 she's holding the recorder in the wrong way with her hands. That's kind of annoying me a bit.

  • I don't know who the character in 3:18 is, but her equivalent in HP is the Ginny in the last book^^

  • Ootko kotosin Suomesta?

  • secondly on the question of the fictionality ofthe books. Plase refer to the secial features for LOTR FotR where it is stated by several tolkein experts that he developed the language of the elves while woring as linguistics professor at cambridge.he then developed a history for the language in order to make the laguage richer by adding evolution to it. he was then encouraged to publish by his friend and collegue C. S. Lewis (uponwhom the character of treebeard is based.)

  • and by the way people i would like to clear up 2 things. having read this book and studied this particular poem extensively i can confirm that some parts of this ae practically unrecognisable.

  • Only a song like that could describe the leaving of Elves.

  • Elvish ? this is a part of a song in Breizh. Beautiful but mothers sing that part of beauty to their children. Blessing for putting that piece of peace on the web

    Regards

  • @hasturien what is Breizh?

  • @hasturien Sorry hasturien, but "Ai! Laurie lantar lassi surinen..." is 100% not Breizh. Are you even familiar with The Lord of the Rings?

  • Comment removed

  • @hasturien okay older personne. Thine wysdomme-of-age-argument is hearde. But lo, canst thou spell?

    On a more serious tone, Sindarin is based on Welsh, Quenya on Finnish, Latin, Old Norse and Greek. Gallow, huh....Do you have to put a loop of rope around the neck to speak.....never mind.

  • @F0reseer

    yeah ayah kinder sama.

    A fact is that when i was a child, i used to hear that kind of words or song. I am tired of that "fight". Namasté Perendhil.....

  • @hasturien WTF is a "yeah ayah kinder sama?!"

    Okay...this conversation's just gone to the psych ward. Wait, it's always been in the psych ward, now it's double penetrated by Charlie Sheen and Tom Cruise.

  • @F0reseer

    Have u ever listened to the meaning. I mean, that what is in the shadow.Whatever may be the name " Quenya Sindar " and so one. We can be dreamers. The fact or the point and then, yeah your know more then me... and then ?

    Blessings

  • So beautiful and calming :)

  • My God, this is incredibly beautiful. I can't even express it in words. :)

  • @Masiakasaurus

    I agree

  • They are just piles of moe bitches,they are no elves!

  • could someone translate this into english?

  • Ok, I added translation into "More Info" ;)

  • @Stasica yeah thx

  • jphotguy is just a stupid teen ager with no-blond hairs and he did like elves are not blond like him :-) ehhehe but he is very stupid because he can't change the mythology cause his hairs/ancestors.

  • @mavmab Tolkien Elves are not Scandinavian Elves. In Tolkien's mythology, only the Vanyar Elves are blond. The other two branches of Elves have dark to raven hair and GREY eyes, NOT blue eyes. Since only the Noldor and Sindar are in Middle Earth, most Elves in Middle Earth have dark hair. Legolas's hair is actually suppose to be dark.

  • @F0reseer Actually i believe you'll find that in tolkeins FICTIONAL work rivendell elves are the desendents of the noldor elves who came across the sea from valimar. hence they have dark hair and brown eyes. Wood elves like galadriel (or altariel in quenya) broke away from the high elves and became the noldor. hence the blode hair and blue eyes. please people read the books carefully.

  • oops. slight correction. revendell elves ar the descendents of the vanya not the noldor.

  • @GAPgayandproud2007 This is well known by Tolkien scholars: hair wise, Vanyar are fair, Noldor dark, Teleri have silver-ish hair. Most Eldar had grey eyes no matter which subspecies they were from.

  • @GAPgayandproud2007

    Hey there.

    Altariel had golden hair even in Valinor(The blessed realm). It is through her grandmother Indis of the Vanyar(who, as you mentioned are "fair of hair"). It has nothing to do with her "becoming a wood-elf(silvan elf). Most woodelves do have dark hair actually. Legolas's hair is blonde in the movie because peter jackson said so. Tolkien NEVER mentions it. His father though is an exception of exceptional rarity.

  • @mavmab Tolkien Elves, although they are called "Elves," are actually closer in attributes to the Celtic Tuatha de Danaan, Tylwyth Teg, or Daoine Sidhe. Physically they are modeled after Insular peoples, especially the pale skin/dark hair/grey eyes combination. In fact, most mortals of Gondorian descent have dark hair due to their Elven ancestry.

  • @F0reseer ! Elves are ONLY BLONDE! this is the mithology....it's not me who has created this mithology then it's not my guilt. Dark hairs and black eyes people are frustrated because they can't feel themselves like Elves ...then... they find a lot of justifications to make us believing about that lie. I'm sorry for them but Elves are blondes with blue eyes. This is the real mithology. Dark elves are just a twisted and wrong vision.

  • @mavmab did you not read anything I said? I'm not talking about your precious "Ljosalfar," which are blond. I'm talking about the Quendi of Tolkien, which have nothing to do with Scandinavia. The Quendi have grey eyes.

  • @mavmab Get it? Tolkien is FICTION, not real life legends. Tolkien Elves are "The First Born of Iluvatar." They awoke at the waters of Cuivienen. I'm NOT talking about the folks from Alfheim. And Tolkien Elves don't have dark hair and black eyes, they have dark hair and light eyes. It's that particular combination.

  • @F0reseer ! in the nordic legends the elves are ALL BLONDES. Stop! It's only your big head problem If you dont wanna accept that ...it's your problem if you dont wanna understand it cause you are not blonde. Dont talk me more i'll dont answer you more. You are a dark hair shit latin lover frustratred.

  • @mavmab Looks like I'm not the one with a frustration. I'm sorry if the words Tolkien and Fiction cause confusion for you.

  • @mavmab you really have got a thick head we are not talking about the nordic legends we are atlking about the tplkiens legendarium you blonde fool

  • @F0reseer WRONG!!! No where in all of Tolkien works will you find him admitting to writing fiction. In fact he said of this works that he was "Given things…already there, somewhere." Tolkien is a modern day Homer who has seen a reality beyond the pale of our all-too-human world. We should love and respect him for that vision.

  • @mujaku So LOTR was nonfiction....Are you a scientologist?

  • @F0reseer There is a huge difference between muthos and fiction. Again, to repeat myself, Tolkien never says his works are fiction. Speaking of fictional worlds, you might also read H. Vaihinger's famous book, The Philosophy of 'As if'. The author makes the case that our modern world is, in fact, fictional.

  • @mujaku He never says they weren't fiction.

  • in the "mythology history" ALL ELVES ARE BLONDS. It doesn't mean something If we find no blond actual scandinavian people ! ...and the real scandinavia people are blond. Today many people are mixed. In the scandinavian mythology the ELVES ARE ONLY BLOND AND BLUE EYES. If you don't like it change mythology. Get turkish mythology where you'll find people like you.

  • Beautiful!!!!

    Of course I have to find something to whine about:

    Y in Quenya is not Finnish Y but Finnish J

    On the other hand I don't think anyone could pronounce Quenya, except maybe someone who spoke both perfect Finnish (for vowel and consonant length) and Greek (for pronouncing all the palatal consonants "ly, ny, etc").

  • Ich liebe dieses Lied, das muss erstmal jemand nachmachen. Sie spricht zwar das "y" falsch aus, aber für mich ist es die schönste Version von Namárie.

  • My home in heaven: 1:48

  • i love this music

    i like the picture by

    2:52

  • I'm studying Quenya right now, reading the Quenya courses. Even though some of the pronounciation in this song is pretty off, it's still a beautiful attempt and a version I rank highly. Undertaking a song in Quenya is no simple task.

  • Comment removed

  • To all those who are wondering this song is from Sagan om Ringen (The Lord of the Rings, obviously ^^) -musical made by Svenska Teatern (The Swedish Theatre) in Helsinki, Finland in 2000-01. I've seen the play, in case you're wondering how I know.

    Also the pronounciation in this song is not so far from correct as some may think since Tolkien borrowed many elements from Finnish language to Elvish and this is the way a Finn would sing it.

  • Thank's a lot!))))

  • HELL NOOO!

    Not all elves are blondes!!!

    Most of the Noldor are NOT blonde...

  • Arwen.

    Also you've never seen ANY elves. Rofl. They don't actually exist.

  • @jphotguy You are right, in tolkien writing of the three branches of elves only the vanyar were blond haired "and the vanyar were the smallest group of elves, but also considered the highest of the high elves, since they were the first to wake up at cuivinien, and also the first to arrive at valinor" the other tow branches, noldor and sindar were mostly dark haired, with the exception of a few noldor who had vanya blood in them, and a few teleri with silver hair

  • @uniontupapa

    Cuivienen, you mean.

    

  • Great voice, but terrible pronunciation... if only you did not understand "y" as /ü/... it is just a way of transcribing /j/... and the terrible glottal stops (especially in the places where they make absolutely no sense) - it sounds like an orc singing the song (although with strangely beautiful voice).

  • @Eleshar24

    I would say more like a human from Gondor, Arnor or Numenore, who was'nt well acquainted with Quenya and Sindarin Pronunciation.

    Or maybe an Avari or nandor Elf who just discovered the Languages :)

  • I don't believe that such a noble race like the elves would create music that has the simple cadence system like we have.

    To Elves a complex music system would fit better, i think.

  • You're right but perhaps did they (the ones who recorded it) wanted to make it simple so they won't spoil the actual words. In a sense, I always thought that Galadriel didn't need instruments to accompany her.

  • Perhaps the Elvish music should be extremely simple, reaching great beauty by using a few notes that strike the heart. Really great things can be so for their accurate simplicity.

  • Who is singing this?

  • Sr, I don't know..

  • Comment removed

  • "Bein"

  • Some wors come from quenya and sindarin from mister Tolkien.

    But as a matter of fact this is an elder song we use in Bretagne in France. A song in order to give luck to someone you will loose for some time.

    Al elye thanks for this

  • this would be a beautiful rendition were it not for the big gaps in the middle of the words which cause it to lose much of its sense. the tune is very elvish though

  • the words on the vid are sindarin i think (one of two elvish dialects, namarië is in quenya, the other)

  • nope, they aren't. It's just that the singer isn't pronouncing it quite right

  • iiiiiiiiiiii

  • where can i download this song?

  • very nice

  • Ai ! laurië lantar lassi súrinen, yéni únótimë ve rámar aldaron ! Yéni ve lintë yuldar avánier mi oromardi lissë-miruvóreva Andúnë pella, Da Breizh tellumar nu luini yassen tintilar i eleni Sí man i yulma nin enquantuva ? An sí Tintallë Breizh Oiolossëo ve fanyar máryat Nienna ortanë ar ilyë tier undulávë lumbulë; ar sindanóriello caita mornië i falmalinnar imbë met, ar hísië untúpa Breizh míri oialë. Namaárië ! Nai hiruvalyë Maranwé !
  • namar ellesar perendhil an il glorantha

    we believe in humans, the one called "esperanza"

  • @hasturien: I don't fancy "Breizh" has anything to do with Elvish. Isn't that the word for Brittany in Breton?

  • indeed littleRussian, but as a matter of fact M. Tolken created elvish languagues using most of past celtic languague.

    There are plenty of words used in Gallo a breton languague still learnt in school nowdays in Bretagne = Breizh.

    regards

  • But why did you incorporate the word Breizh into the text of Namariё? It doesn't make sense, in my opinion.

  • Sure perhaps it does not make sense, but its a regards concerning what Mister Tolien done with elvish creations. Sindar and Quenya come from scandinavia and moreover from our languague in Bretagne.

    regards

  • The fact is that there is a song very similar to that piece of beauty we use in Bretagne concerning a good bye to friends.

    Regards

  • I see.

  • te-he the word means goodbye!

  • I think this is a lovely Tolkien inspired song. I found the words posted on a Swedish blog site.

    The words are not from the famous Galadriel farewell. I don't know if it is actually from Tolkien or composed in Elvish. I'll have to ask my scholarly Tolkien friends.

  • Actually the words are from Galadriel's farewell, just not with the classical quenya pronunciation.I think it's more like sindarin.

  • is this the quenya version?

  • Who is singing this?

  • the words are wrong.

    it stars:

    ai! laurie lanti lasse surien

  • It sounds so sad and so beautiful in the same time ...

  • Is there a place we can download this song? It's so lovely!

  • STUPENDO!!!!!!!!! so ke non parli in italiano ma fa lo stesso! dove le trovi qll immagini??? e la musica è stupenda... a proposito what is the name of the song?

  • Namárië

  • Absolutely beautiful. I'd give this ten out of ten if I could.

  • ¡BRAVÍSIMO,BRAVO,BRAVO!

    Absolutely wonderful!

    Two things I must say, at the beginning the bell-like music should be a little deeper, and a little bit slower, and the other one, in Quenya, the "y" is not pronounced as a vocal like in Finnish(its muse language), Old English, French U, or its brother language Sindarin, but like a consonant, a voiced Sh, or like Zh in some languages.

    Otherwise, absolutely perfect.

  • beautifully sung!

  • r u finnish? i have heard one version of "namarie" in finland and is was very similiar to this one! where have you got this vid? this is awesome! hannon le.

  • the ending especially was amazing!

  • The voices are lovely.

  • Beautiful!!! :)

  • Yes, it's amazingly beautiful. Pronounciation is a bit off though, it sounds like japanese in a few places, lol.

  • this video is super ;) is so beautiful :):)

  • super!!!!! ;)
