Our illustrious GM for a Middle Earth themed game we are playing wrote a short little song/poem for one of our sessions and I'd like to see if we can get translated into Sindarin if it wouldn't be too much trouble please.
Here we wait, here we watch
Your proud sentinels, your grave wardens
Our lamp, your purest light
Our toil, your triumphant grove
Here we wait, here we watch
Til darkness close at the end of all days
Thanks for the help!
I will come up with something probably tonight for you. Unless someone gets to it first. 😅
Here you go. Would like to see if others come up with something else.
This is great! Thanks so much for taking the time and effort for something a little longer than the usual request.
Mayhaps Quenyan would bring you delight.:
Nai Quenyava au tulyë alassë.:
Hí lartalwë, hí tirwë
Varyalya verië, Varyalya lunga
Calmangwa, cálë poicaín
Motangwa, taurë alcarin
Varyalya verië, Varyalya lunga
Tenn' Ambar-metta
Tenn' a·tellúmë tule Murmoiran
I do think prefer Elendil's ending.
Explanation:
Hí lartalwë, hí tirwë
(Lit.: Here we wait, Here we watch), larta- + -lwë, tir- + -lwë
Varyalya verië, Varyalya lunga
(Lit.: your defence, bold, your defence, grave) varyalë + -lya verië, lunga
Calmangwa, cálë poicaín
(Lit.: Our lamp, your light purest) calma -ngwa, cálë poica -inqua
Motangwa, taurë alcarin
(Lit.: Our toil, your forest glorious) móta- taurë -inqua
Varyalya verië, Varyalya lunga
(Lit.: Here we wait, Here we watch)
Tenn' Ambar-metta
(Lit.: 'Til Worlds Ending (From Elendil's Oath)) ambar
Alternative ending, drawing on Early Quenyan, and manouvering poetically:
Tenn' (h)a·tellúmë tule Murmoiran
(Lit.: Until from final dusk comes the eternalmost slumber) ha telu lúmë murmë oira -inqua
This is just above and beyond. The Quenya version is neat to have also and interesting to read. I appreciate the extra effort you've gone through and the adaptations.
Thanks!
