Words in paranetheses are either implied or words that I'm not sure about, where possibilities are listed. I have done a very literal translation of the first. The second is much easier because it's actually from the books - it's from Aragorn's coronation, and the words Elendil spoke as he set foot on the shore of Middle-earth.<P>A Bereth thar-Ennui Aeair! <BR>(Oh Queen across-(middle/separating) Ocean (of old)!)<BR>A Galad ven i reniar <BR>(Oh Radiant (to wanderers?/as the days of old?))<BR>hi 'aladhremmin ennorath. <BR>(in (these isolated) meshed trees of Middle-earth)<BR>A Elbereth Gilthoniel <BR>(Oh Star-Queen, Star-Kindler)<BR>ithil nâ thûl, ithil lîn hen... <BR>(The Moon is spirit(alive?), The Moon (pool/sings) watches)<P>Et Eärello Endorenna utúlien. <BR>(Out from the Great Sea beyond Middle-earth I have come)<BR>Sinome maruvan ar Hildinyar tenn' Ambar-metta!
