Tauralindalë - Song of the Wood
Anda i Lúna-taureva enyálië;
Lúna i óri i yárë aldaron.
Nordo ar neldo, sánë ar tasar
Amárië andvaë randan fuinessë.
Apa i vinya luina sír sirë,
Sirë olla cemen, sirë olla ondo.
Lencar i auri, núrar i lómi,
Ai! i orontë avafanyar.
Nén, a nén, tínala calima,
Nén, tercáno cuiviëva ceutana!
Oiovistala, visto ilyaron,
Poito niëron ar saurana taurëo.
Nainala alda, nainiët hlarelmë.
Lertatyë lasta i sírëo alassë?
I yernë yéni lennar lintiënen.
I enwinar alcari ve hisië sintar.
Allinta i luimë valima yassë
Ilyë nwalmai cólar Eárenna.



Long is the Black Wood’s memory
Dark are the hearts of old trees;
Oak and beech, pine and willow grey
Have dwelt for an age in shadow
Ah, but the new white stream flows,
Flows over earth, flows over stone;
The days are slow, the nights are deep
But lo, comes the dawn without clouds
Water, O water, bright-glinting,
Water, herald of life renewed!
Ever-changing, changer of all,
Cleanser of tears and wood befouled.
Mournful tree, we hear your lament.
Can you hark to the river’s joy?
The elder time passes swiftly;
The glories of old fade as mist.
Yet swifter is the blessed flood
That carries all woes to the Sea.
