I translated May it Be into Quenya. Here it is:
Nai sí mornië lantëa corelya na vosta
Lelyal Eressëa tol
Ai! Nal haira corello
Mornië utúlië ista ar hiruval tielya
Mornië alántië vanda caita mi le sí<br>Nai I mornieva yello wiluva oar
Nai vanya cala I ré<br>Sí I lómë na vanwa
Nai orta hirë Anar
Mornië utúlië ista ar hiruval tielya
Mornië alántië vanda caita mi le sí<br>Vanda caita mi le sí <br>

Hello, i was wondering if perhaps you could put this lovely looking poem to english? I'm terrible at translations and this poem seems to be rather a nice one. If not tis ok. What language is that by the way?

Goldmoon: This poem, or song rather, is May it Be performed by Enya. It is on the soundtrack to the Fellowship.

Of course! here's the translation-
May it be an evening star shines down upon you
may it be when darkness falls your heart will be true
you walk a lonely road
oh how far you are from home
Mornie Utulie believe and you will find your way
mornie alantie a promise lives within you now
may it be the shadow's call will fly away
may it be you journey on to light the day
when the night is overcome
may you rise to find the sun
repeat chorus
a promise lives within you now

Aww wow! Thanks sweets. I felt is was a very beautiful poem and i was right. It's awesome. Makes little butterflies go all around inside. I especially like the first two sentences, an evening star, then darkness falls your heart. Wonderful words. Thank you for taking the time to translate it for me, i appreciate it alot. Very beautiful. *g*

I just wish I could hear Enya preform it in Quenya, since her voice is so pretty, and the rythm is pretty much the same. Thank you for you compliments, goldie!

That's really cool there, the quenya version is so pretty.. The english one brings tears to my eyes, it's so beautiful with Enya's voice bringing character to it... I agree, it would be very nice to hear Enya sing the Quenya version, I can't seem to get the rythm right when I try to sing it... oh well, very good indeed!
