[TheOSROOR]

Ai! Laurië lantar lassi súrinen

¡Ah! ¡Como el oro caen las hojas en el viento,

yéni únótimë ve rámar aldaron!

e innumerables como las alas de los árboles son los años!

yéni ve lintë yuldar avánier

los años han pasado como sorbos rápidos

mi oromardi lissë-miruvóreva

de dulce hidromiel en las altas salas

Andúnë pella, Vardo tellumar

de más allá del Oeste, bajo las bóvedas azules de Varda

[TheOSROOR]

nu luini yassen tintilar i eleni donde las estrellas tiemblan ómaryo airetári-lírinen. en la voz de su canción sagrada y real. Sí man i yulma nin enquantuva? ¿Quién me llenará ahora de nuevo la copa? An sí Tintallë Varda Oiolossëo Pues ahora la Iluminadora, Varda, la Reina de las Estrellas, ve fanyar máryat Elentári ortanë desde el Monte Siempre Blanco ha elevado sus manos como nubes ar ilyë tier undulávë lumbulë y todos los caminos se han ahogado en sombras

[TheOSROOR]

ar sindanóriello caita mornië y la oscuridad que ha venido de un país gris se extiende i falmalinnar imbë met, sobre las olas espumosas entre nosotros, ar hísië untúpa Calaciryo míri oialë. y la niebla cubre para siempre las joyas de Calacirya. Sí vanwa ná, Rómello vanwa, Valimar! Ahora se ha perdido, ¡perdido para aquellos del Este, Valimar! Namárië! Nai hiruvalyë Valimar! ¡Adiós! ¡Quizá encuentres a Valimar! Nai elyë hiruva! Namárië! Quizá tú la encuentres! ¡Adiós!

[Kyermemehtar]

Assuming that this is your song, would you have any objection to my singing it at a coffee shop concert? What citation should I use?

[AllyKari1]

@Kyermemehtar The lyrics belong to J.R.R. Tolkien. She added the music. You're probably fre to sing it as much as you like.

[DrakeKensei]

Bayn Heryn XD 

[vidcatchacomgoo]

[TheIndigoAurora]

[madenkind]

I'm stunned! Very beautiful voice and language!

[ambereyes93]

Galadriel is so much better than prissy little Arwen. 

[Briselance]

@ambereyes93

In which regard ?I'm just curious.

[ambereyes93]

@Briselance

Lol, I just mean that she does so much more than Arwen, and has a much bigger impact on people.

[Briselance]

@ambereyes93

Ah ok. Quite true, indeed.

[TheSisco44]

This is amazing, I have come back to this youtube vid so many times. She nails the elvish. 

[kai6546]

@pottercesamen where or how?



[jackhughesbooks]

This is so beautiful. The singer has a wonderful voice, clear haunting and full of longing.

[lotrfan387]

where/how do you learn elvish? i know how to write in the tengwar but i don't know how to speak it...

[DraumurionLawnmower]

@lotrfan387 There's an excellent app for the iPhone on the iTunes app store called "Elvenspeak". This song is written in Quenya, which is a more developed language to Sindarin and in my opinion, far more fascinating. I learnt almost the entire language which on holiday in Portugal, and was probably the most productive week of my life :P

[lotrfan387]

@DraumurionLawnmower thanks :)

[TheSisco44]

@lotrfan387 thats strange, you can write words you dont know the meaning to? Or do you know their meanings but are unable to pronounce them? If you cannot pronounce words in Tengwar, id suggest gettting either a copy of the silmarillion, that should have pronounciations for different letter groupings. Im also pretty sure there is a book of the tolkenite languages, which have phrases, meanings, and phonetics.

[lotrfan387]

@TheSisco44 you can write in english using the tengwar characters

[snap0pans]

@pottercesamen please tell me how and where?!? :O

[pittyprincess150]

I'm learning Quenya. :D

[breadfreak96]

@pottercesamen I'm learning Quenya too :)

[shady1306]

[Kakatary]

Bein laer! Simply beautiful! :D

[GothicNiamh]

woooooooow,i love it!!!!!

[Roshan3L]

[Simonaophoebe]

[7SonsofFeanor]

@Simonaophoebe

Search for 'Ardalambion' :)

[Hidelias]

Again a thousand thanks, everyone. It's still a blessing to come around. Elen síla lúmenn' omentielvo.

[DontBeSadBeRadd]

Beautiful. Is it in Quenya or Sindarin?

[Kyrennar]

@DontBeSadBeRadd i'ts quenya, a elbetreth gilthoniel is in sindarin

[Kyrennar]

@DontBeSadBeRadd it's quenya, a elbetreth gilthoniel is in sindarin

[WolfsRose97]

I love it! I learned little elvish from the movie and this song is great ~

[Kyrennar]

[kai6546]

[LaManchagirl2008]

@GreyScaleButterfly could you please tell me too?

[DiabolicalMysticum]

[JorEl7771]

Is this Sindarin or Quenya? It sounds so beautiful.

[88elva]

i want study elvish too..how ca i???? plss helpp!

[LaManchagirl2008]

@88elva Look up Ardalambion in google and it will be the first link. I could post the URL for you sorry...youtube has this crappy problem with it!

[MsErestor]

This is fantastic! The voice is quite clear and well voiced in the Elvish langauge. In other words;

Amin mela Elleth's bein linnod.

TRANSLATION: I love (the) female Elf's beautiful song. ;D

[thefanofmanga]

Hannon le <3

[dejanrak]

@pottercesamen please let me tell what means Elvish, is it the language of the elves?

[LaManchagirl2008]

@dejanrak yes

[dejanrak]

please let me tell what language it is and what means namarie?

[Usmcspartan420]

@dejanrak I believe this is Galadriel's song to Elbaereth... a song of reverance and a finaly goodbye to the lands of Middle-Earth forever. "Namarie" means "Farewell"

[alundra3434]

@dejanrak namarie means farewell

[LaManchagirl2008]

@dejanrak It I believe is Quenya - Narmarie means farewell

[myrrhbear]

Such a beautiful melody! Such a very beautiful voice : )

[Grithron2]

At last - a decent musical setting of this poem! May stars shine upon your path, Aijin!

[BilboBaggins555]

Hauntingly beautiful

[Doffz0r]

@pottercesamen Excuse me, but where do you do that? Do you do it over the internet or something?

I'll patiently wait for a response.

[estelio16]

@Doffz0r If you Google search 'Ardalambion' and click the first link you can find a course in Quenya, the version of Elvish in this piece. Also, the CouncilOfElrond website has a workbook in Quenya and one in Sindarin.

Nai cuilelya nauva mára!

[Doffz0r]

@estelio16 Thank you! As I get it, those are two different elven languages. Which should I choose? What did you choose?

Thanks, Kristoffer.

[estelio16]

@Doffz0r Quenya is often called 'High-Elvish'. It is spoken by the elves of Lothlorien. It is closer to the language of the Elves in Valinor than its sister, Sindarin. Sindarin is the more conversational language, used by those in the Grey Havens and in Imaldris. (A variant of Sindarin is used by the Elves of Mirkwood.)

In the 'real' world, Tolkien put more effort into Quenya than into Sindarin. There is more published material in Quenya, and it's easier to study. That is the one I chose.

[Doffz0r]

@estelio16 How long have you studied it? Are you able to make a conversation with it now?

[estelio16]

@Doffz0r I've studied off and on for about two years now. Given that I haven't studied in any depth for at least three month, I probably couldn't do much in conversation. I plan to restart my studies as soon as my schedule allows.

[cuchulain55]

@estelio16 no it is certaily not spoken by the elves of lothlorien.  the elves or lothlorien except for thier queen are silvan elves. and they speak thier own silvan dialect of sindarin.

[estelio16]

Oh. My. Gods. Like elven-wine to the head, like starlight on Nimrodel, like moonlight on the Mirror of Galadriel...

[castravet]

Great sounds!BB Ariel

[LoserOtaku]

So beautiful- her voice, and Quenya. It could be an elven voice!

[ArlithCake]

I think it's time to embrace my inner geek and learn this elvishnessism :P

[Resista16]

pożegnanie

[misschesca234]

This gives me goosebumps. It's how I imagine Luthien singing when Beren finds her in the woods of Doriath, just so beautiful x

From the deep of my heart,thanks and congratulations.You are the best.

[cod688]

yes this is very good :D

[Ryak1234]

Best version i think.

[umbalaba]

Very nice.

You should finnish a listen too. Elvish seems connected to that language soundwise somehow.

[triggerguy1]

@umbalaba Yeah tolkien was influenced by finnish for sure, also welsh, and of course old english.

[ohmyfsm]

It does. Tolkien's stories actually aroused from his languages. They were of philological interest. Quenya, his most complete language is a perfect blend of Finnish/Estonian, Old Norse, Old English and some other influences from other Germanic and Latin languages, like Italian when it comes to rhythm.

Phonologically it resembles Finnish greatly, and grammatically Old Norse more. The noun "-r" ending is present.

It's honey to the ears Quenya :x

[shady1306]

What more to say than previous comments said...just wonderous!

[jenwa123]

I really like her voice, it's so calming.. Feels like I could peacefully fall asleep while listening this.. Beautiful. :)
