Namarie

Elvish..

Lyrics in English

Ah! like gold fall the leaves in the wind,
long years numberless as the wings of trees!
The long years have passed like swift draughts
of the sweet mead in lofty halls
beyond the West, beneath the blue vaults of Varda
wherein the stars tremble
in the voice of her song, holy and queenly.
Who now shall refill the cup for me?
For now the Kindler, Varda, the Queen of the stars,
fromMount Everwhite has uplifted her hands like clouds
and all paths are drowned deep in shadow;
and out of a grey country darkness lies
on the foaming waves between us,
and mist covers the jewels of Calacirya for ever.
Now lost, lost to those of the East is Valimar!
Farewell! Maybe thou shalt find Valimar!
Maybe even thou shalt find it! Farewell!

Lyrics in Elvish:


Ai! laurie lantar lassi surinen,
Yeni unotime ve ramar aldaron!
Yeni ve linte yuldar avanier
mi oromardi lisse-miruvoreva
Andune pella, Vardo tellumar
nu luini yassen tintilar i eleni
omaryo airetari-lirinen.

Si man i yulma nin enquantuva?

An si Tintalle Varda Oiolosseo
ve fan yar maryat Elentari ortane
ar ilye tier undulave lumbule;
ar sindanoriello caita mornie
i falmalinnar imbe met, ar hisie
untupa Calaciryo miri oiale.
Si vanwa na, Romello vanwa, Valimar!

Namarie! Nai hiruvalye Valimar.
Nai elye hiruva. Namarie!

[valadhiel7744]

Who is singing this?

[Stasica]

Sr, I don't know..

[jphotguy]

HELL NOOO!

Not all elves are blondes!!!

Most of the Noldor are NOT blonde...

[Manfreund]

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.

@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.

@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

Blessings

[hasturien]

@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.....

[F0reseer]

@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.

[MoriKitsune]

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.
