Lyrics by JRR Tolkien, Translated by David Salo, Sindarin
Fanuilos heryn aglar!
Rîn athar annún-aerath!
Calad ammen i reniar
Mi' aladhremmin ennorath!
A Elbereth Gilthoniel!
I chîn a thûl lin míriel.
Fanuilos! Le linnathon
Ne ndor haer thar i aeron!
A elin na gaim eglerib
Ned în ben-anor trerennin.
Si silivrin ne perth 'waewib
Cenim lyth thílyn thuiennin!
A Elbereth Gilthoniel!
Men echenim sí derthiel
Ne chaered hen nu 'aladhath,
Ngilith or annún-aearath.
Snow-white! Snow-white! O lady clear!
O Queen beyond the Western Seas!
O Light to us that wander there
Amid the world of woven trees!
Gilthoniel! O Elbereth!
Clear are thee eyes and bright is breath.
Snow-white! Snow-white! We sing to thee
In a far land beyond the Sea!
O Stars that shine in the Sunless Year
With shining hand by thee were sown.
In windy filds now bright and clear
We see your silver blossom blown!
O Elbereth Gilthoniel!
We still remember, we who dwell
In this far land beneath the trees,
Thy starlight on the Western Seas.
