I just have to offer you a treat as well...

Oi kuningatar, lumenvalkea niin
kun takaa läntisten merien
tulet tänne metsien katveisiin,
olet valona meidän jokaisen!
Oi Gilthoniel! Oi Elbereth!
Ovat silmäsi valonsäteiset!
Sinä huout kirkkautta, ja me
sinun kunniaksesi laulamme.

And here is how it translates back to english... I am curious whether the words have changed a lot...

Oh queen, so snow-white
when from the other side of the western seas
you come here to the places covered by forest,
you are the light for every one of us!
Oh gilthoniel! Oh Elbereth!
Your eyes are luminious!
You seep radiance, and we
sing in your honor.

BTW, that font does not load. There is some kind of error message from Yahoo.
