Giliathriel's Song Translations

[Giliathriel Alquasilme]

All right, first one is Gollum's Song!

Sé ya nómë cala na yassë sí mornie lanta
Sé ya nómë melmë na, melma úmëa lá voronwa
Áva queta mára mesta áva queta umëa horyanyes
i níri nyényalve na lantala
An ilyë furur quetalye menna
i naicelë, i leper mentelela
Ar nyenyuvalvë në tana eressë<br>Nalvë hecile, ulelyuvalvë coanna
Sië mettassë nauvanyë man nauvanyë<br>Lá vórima málo në en an ni
Si quetalve mára mesta quetalve umëa horyalyes
i níri nyényalye utúlië acca telwa
Á anta amba i furur, i naicelë, i leper mentelela
Halyë hécile ulelyuvalye coanna
Halyë hécile ulelyuvalye coanna

It means
Where once was light now darkness falls
where once was love love is no more
don't say goodbye don't say we didn't try
these tears we cry are falling rain
for all the lies you told us
the hurt, the blame
and we will weep to be so alone
we are lost we can never go home
so in the end I'll be what I will be
no loyal friend was ever there for me
now we say goodbye we say you didn't try
these tears you cry have come too late
take back the lies, the hurt, the blame
and you will weep when you face the end alone
you are lost you can never go home
you are lost you can never go home

[Giliathriel Alquasilme]

All right, here's Into the West in Quenya

Ánúta undu vanimë ar lumba casenya
Lómë lantëa utúlielye ana tierenya metta
Á fuma si ar á olora I quenivar man tulnë epë<br>yell ante arta vahaia falessello
Mana nyéhyalye an? Man na I niri antallolya
Rato cenulvalyë ilyë caurenya autauva
Varna mi ranquinya er fumëa<br>Mana cenalye or I ëar
Mana horya I lossë maiwi yella
Arta I ëar helwa Isil ortëa<br>I ciryar utúlië colë ellë coanna
Or ilya ahyuva an telpë hyellë<br>Calina or I nen ilyë fëar auta
Estel sinta mir I arda lómë<br>Terë huini lantëa et lumello (missing a word for memory)
Áva queta utúlielmë si mettanna
Lossë falassi yella ellë ar ni omenuva ata
Ar nauvalye mi ranquinya faila fumelo
Mana cenalye or I ëar
Mana horya I lossë maiwi yella
Arta I ëar helwa Isil ortëa<br>I ciryar utúlië colë ellë coanna
Or ilya ahyuva an telpë hyellë<br>Calina or I nen sindë ciryar auta
Mir I númen<br>
It means
Lay down your sweet and weary head
Night is falling you've come to journey's end
sleep now and dream of the ones who came before
they are calling from across a different shore
why do you weep what are these tears upon your face
soon you will see all of your fears will pass away
safe in my arms you're only sleeping
what can you see on the horizon
why do the white gulls call
across the sea a pale moon rises
the ships have come to carry you home
and all will turn to silver glass
a light on the water all souls pass
hope fades into the world of night
through shados falling out of memory and time
don't say we have come now to the end
white shores are calling you and i will meet again
and you'll be here in my arms just sleeping
what can you see on the horizon
why do the white gulls call
across the sea a pale moon rises
the ships have come to carry you home
and all will turn to silver glass
a light on the water grey ships pass
Into the West

Keep in Mind that I will also translate your songs, long poetry, or anyother long translation here. Otherwise, keep it to the main Translation thread.

[Fiwen Brandybuck]

I thought maybe that this was a bit short to qualify as a long poem, but then it still takes up quite a lot of space. It's a poem I wrote myself, and I want to put it into a card. Please could you translate it into Quenya.

There are some things that change our lives,
That we keep within the heart,
And one of these is friendship,
It never will depart.

So heed my words, my comrade,
For you are my true friend.
I will be there for ever,
Even to the end.

It doesn't matter if it's no completely accurate, I'd just like something nice to write.

[Giliathriel Alquasilme]

Here's your poem Fiwen! *grins that this is her first translation for someone else*

En ná engweli tana ahyë cuilima
tana tirilmë mi i órë<br>ar minë i engwon ná nilmë<br>lá autauvaryë<br>sië á tiri quettarenya málonya
an nál vasta meldonya
nauvalyë oialë<br>en mentello
