Ai! laurië lantar lassi súrinen,
Ah! like gold fall the leaves in the wind,

yéni únótimë ve rámar aldaron!
long years numberless as the wings of trees!

Yéni ve lintë yuldar avánier
The long years have passed like swift draughts

mi oromardi lissë-miruvóreva
of the sweet mead in lofty halls

Andúnë pella, Vardo tellumar
beyond the West, beneath the blue vaults of Varda

nu luini yassen tintilar i eleni
wherein the stars tremble

ómaryo airetári-lírinen.
in the song of her voice, holy and queenly.

Sí man i yulma nin enquantuva?
Who now shall refill the cup for me?

An sí Tintallë Varda Oiolossëo
For now the Kindler, Varda, the Queen of the stars,

ve fanyar máryat Elentári ortanë
from Mount Everwhite has uplifted her hands like clouds

ar ilyë tier undulávë lumbulë
and all paths are drowned deep in shadow;

ar sindanóriello caita mornië
and out of a grey country darkness lies

i falmalinnar imbë met,
on the foaming waves between us,

ar hísië untúpa Calaciryo míri oialë.
and mist covers the jewels of Calacirya for ever.

Sí vanwa ná, Rómello vanwa, Valimar!
Now lost, lost to those of the East is Valimar!

Namárië! Nai hiruvalyë Valimar!
Farewell! Maybe thou shalt find Valimar!

Nai elyë hiruva! Namárië!
Maybe even thou shalt find it! Farewell!

  • That was very beautiful.

    Good job!

    I'm learning to speak elvish, haha (:

    This was amazing. :3

  • @AnnieAwesomistic Thanks!!! Good luck with the Elvish, I found it really hard!!!

  • @Image4ever Thanks.

    And, I've only been working on it for three days, and I'm finding it really easy. o.o

    I guess languages are just my thing. ^_^;

  • @AnnieAwesomistic Could be!!

    What way are you learning it and which form??

  • @Image4ever I'm learning Quenya.

    I found this site with a bunch of phrases in quenya and a dictionary and everything. So right now I'm learning off that, haha ^_^;;

    It kind of sucks, though, cause I have no one to help me. /:

  • @AnnieAwesomistic

    I learned it from a book, which was incredibly complicated!! I also ahd no one to help me which indeed sucked!!! GOOD LUCK & HAVE FUN!!!
