Lyric in Quenya with english and german translation.
The song is called "Namárië", or "Galadriel's Lament in Lórien":
****************************************
Quenya

Ai! Laurië lantar lassi súrinen,
yéni únótimë ve rámar aldaron!
Yéni ve lintë yuldar avánier
mi oromardi lissë-miruvóreva
Andúnë pella, Vardo tellumar
nu luini yassen tintilar i eleni
ómaryo airetári-lírinen.

Sí man i yulma nin enquantuva?

An sí Tintallë Varda Oiolossëo
ve fanyar máryat Elentári ortanë
ar ilyë tier undulávë lumbulë
ar sindanóriello caita mornië
i falmalinnar imbë met,
ar hísië untúpa Calaciryo míri oialë.
Sí vanwa ná, Rómello vanwa, Valimar!
Namárië! Nai hiruvalyë Valimar!
Nai elyë hiruva! Namárië!
****************************************
Tolkien's translation (not literal):

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,
from Mount 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!
****************************************
Deutsch:

Ah! wie Gold fallen die Blätter im Wind
lange Jahre zahllos wie die Schwingen der Bäume!
Die langen Jahre sind vergangen
wie rasche Schlucke des süßen Mets in hohen Hallen
jenseits des Westens unter den blauen Gewölben von Varda,
worin die Sterne zittern beim Gesang ihrer Stimme, heilig und königlich.
Wer nun soll den Becher für mich füllen?

Denn nun hat die Entzünderin, Varda,
die Königin der Sterne vom Berg Immerweiß,
ihre Hände wie Wolken gehoben,
und alle Pfade sind tief im Schatten versunken:
und aus einem grauen Land kommend,
liegt Dunkelheit auf den schäumenden Wogen zwischen uns,
und Nebel deckt die Edelsteine von Calacirya auf immerdar.
Verloren nun, verloren für jene aus dem Osten ist Valimar!

Lebewohl! Vielleicht wirst du Valimar finden.
Ja, vielleicht wirst du es finden. Lebewohl!
