Lyrics by J. R. R. Tolkien (from The Lord of the Rings), composed/performed by Petri Tikka.

A Elbereth Gilthoniel
silivren penna míriel
o menel aglar elenath!
Na-chaered palan-díriel
o galadhremmin ennorath,
Fanuilos, le linnathon
nef aear, sí nef aearon!

"O! Elbereth who lit the stars, from glittering crystal slanting falls with light like jewels from heaven on high the glory of the starry host. To lands remote I have looked afar, and now to thee, Fanuilos, bright spirit clothed in ever-white, I here will sing beyond the Sea, beyond the wide and sundering Sea." (translation by Tolkien)

  • NERD!!!

  • @vivaldi0 Yes, and proud of it!

  • Very nice! Where did you get the tune for it? I'd always sung it to the tune of the elven theme. The tune I used is in the second half of "The Hornburg" from the Two Tower's soundtrack. Thanks for posting!

  • @pinklavigne231 The tune is my own composition. Tolkien's poems inspire me to do so.

  • Mae Govannen ,would you not sing the whole song ? ?

  • Beautiful!! Is this your original composition? If so, it's even better! Thanks!
