Song of Beren and Lúthien (HD version)

the same movie, but I re-did the export in HD now that YT is able to play that format.

"Trenathon achen i narn Tinúviel", Aragorn ebent. "Trenathon i drenarn thent - an narn anand, a i veth ú-istassen, ah si ú-ben, Elrond said, i rên ha sui trenoren io anann."
Ho dínen, ab lû thent, ú-ebent, dan linnant moe:




I *nimwaloth i bain a phant,
I laiss in end calen nadhras
A egennir galad vin lant
E geil vi dhúath thiliol.
Tinúviel i lilthas ias,
Na lind o *simp dholen a brand
A vi finnil dîn glîn ennas,
A vi chammad dîn míriol.

Nu laiss Beren erui padas
Ab aegais ring dad túliel,
Ennas i elduin sirias
Nûr a erui reniol.
Dan min laiss gwaloth tíriel
Glinthant lassui mellys ennas
Na choll a rainc dîn derthiel,
Sui dae finnil dîn aphadol.

I lûth nestant i dail naegrol
Berthennin dhyl athreviad;
Agamp geleg ho vell, bragol,
Mabant ithildim thiliol.
Trî 'aladhremmin eldorath
He dregas fair na dail lilthol,
Awarthant Beren reniad
Erui vi daur dhínen lastol.

Sui laiss dulus i thail ellint
Lastant ennas lhyss reviol,
A vi imlaid thyrin i lind,
Ennas eithelui tuiol.
Si nimwaloth i tharn, thinnol,
a thloss ab loss vin chelch thind
laiss e-mrethil vi daur dharthol
hain sui gwilwileth sí dannol.

Ú chir hen, revias palan
Laiss caedennin anann ennas,
Nu 'ilgalad a nui gúran
Vi menel edhring míriol.
Nu ithildim coll dîn tinnas,
Sui caw amon, haeron a brann
Na dail peliol, he lilthas,
I chîth gelebren hwiniol.

Udul he ad ne thrîw dregol,
Linn dîn leithiant i ethuil,
Sui tuilinn a rhoss dannol,
A nen udul ed loss glavrol.
Egenn tuiad niphredil
Na dail dîn, nestas aphadol
anírant lilthad na mrennil
Linnol am nadhras úbrestol.

He dregas ad, dan ho nerant:
Tinúviel! Tinúviel!
Eneg edhellen dîn estant
adhor ennas lû hen lastol.
Ne phost thent Beren, túliel
Na lûth ed lam dîn gen gwedhant,
Si barthannen Tinúviel
Dorthas vi rainc dîn thiliol.

Beren tirant na chîn iell
Vi 'wath finnil dîn velui,
O elenath aglar menel
Egent ennas i míriol.
Tinúviel elvanui †
Elleth alfirin edhelhael, †
O hon ring finnil fuinui †
A rainc gelebrin thiliol. †

I dhoer manath únodui,
Trî annon dûr, angren thamas,
Am ered gondeb, hithui
A thaur dhúatheb angoeol.
I aearon min hain dorthas,
Govanner hai na vedui,
Pelanner io anann ennas
Úníniel vi daur linnol.


* == reconstructed words
simp == reconstruction from Quenyan _simpa_ flute
nimwaloth == reconstruction 'white flowering' for 'hemlock umbel'
† Tinúviel elvanui ... gelebrin thiliol (4 lines) translated by David Salo for the LOTR movies

PLEASE NOTE: this translation from English into Sindarin uses unattested words (which formally renders it 'neo-Sindarin'). The words that I am aware of having been reconstructed are marked with an asterisk. I basically followed Thorsten Renk's interpretations of the existing ambiguities in our knowledge of Sindarin.

@ElisabethOrchard While I'm not an expert on the tragedies of Ancient Greece, I wouldn't label the tale of Beren and Luthien a tragedy, after all it's a story of a Love that overcomes all obstacles and flourishes no matter if death or doom lies separating the lovers. The tale that I would label as a tragedy is the ballad of Neithan, the story of Turin.
