Namárie: Galadriel's Lament In Lorien (Spoken Elvish Quenya)

This is a recording of me reciting Galadriel's Lament in original Quenya as well as in English. The song you hear in the background is taken from the score of FotR. I have added some pics from the movies and fan art as well.
The song at the very end is Lament for Gandalf, so don't marvel at the Gandalf pics.
Plz enjoy and plz comment!

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 tintillar i eleni
omaryo airetari-lirinen.

Si man i yulma nin enquantuva?

An si Tintalle Varda Oiolosseo
ve fanyar 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!

English Translation:

'Ah! like gold fall the leaves in the wind, long years numberless as the wings of trees! The 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 song of her voice, holy and queenly. Who now shall refill the cup for me? For now the Kindler, Varda, the Queen of the Stars, from Mount Everwhite has uplifted 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 from the East is Valimar! Farewell! Maybe thou shalt find Valimar. Maybe even thou shalt find it. Farewell! '

[albuseverus]

I am so sorry it has been disabled, I know many of you liked it a lot. The thing is that there is no other soundtrack that could replace the Lothlorien track. No other composition would make the recitation sound so "other-wordly"... So, I hesitate to post it with a different track.

[NephilaClavata]

I fucking hate these copyright laws.

It's just greedy repressive paranoid bullshit. These people are ridiculous. Society and culture advances from the FLOW of information. Restricting that flow like they're doing here won't do jack shit for the creativity that they value so much that they feel they should put a copyright on it. They are the true ones who are losing out.

If you want a tree to grow large, you don't put it in a box.

Wake the fuck up WMG. Wake up.

[rubbershield]

These copyright violations are absurd on a whole new level. I would like to hear the logic behind this from WMG's point of view. It seems like if they can't get royalties from each and every view/play then it won't be seen/heard at all. Never mind about free advertising.

[IGIprimigenia]

can i have the mp3 of this? i want to listen it in loop always for ever and ever D:

p.s. i own the original soundtrack cd's so it's not a problem the copyright of the music for me

[TheMemorized]

@TheF1arion I'd like to know it too.. I've only found online-stuff so far.

[HarrisonShin93]

[arazona911]

@Guavauava Quenya have SOME similarities to Sanskrit but don't sound like Hindi not even close.

[Seofangurl]

your voice is very elven and entrancing

[Guavauava]

It sounds a lot like Hindi, to my American ears.

[arwensuicide]

I want to know you.

[TheF1arion]

Where the fuck do you have to go nowadays to learn elvish?

[CathreaAna]
