If you know Elvish, and even if you don't, post your favorite quotes in Elvish.

But be sure to give a translation for the beginners out there!

Galadriel: "I amar prestar aen. Han mathon ne nen. Han mathon ne chae. A han noston ne 'wilith. "
Translation: "The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air."

Aniron (Theme for Arwen and Aragorn)
O mor henion i dhu:
Ely siriar el sila
Ai! Aniron Undomiel

Tiro! El eria e mor.
I lir en el luitha uren.
Ai! Aniron...
Translation:
From darkness I understand the night:
dreams flow, a star shines
Ah! I desire Evenstar

Look! A star rises out of the darkness.
The song of the star enchants my heart.
Ah! I desire...

u guys r crazy how can u speak that shit it is soo hard

welll the pronounciation aint that bad once u can find the right guide

Have you got a site for DeNiro to pick up the tongues of the Elves?---perhaps that could help.

I'm still working on getting the pronunciation down. It reminds me of so many other languages--including German, and its hard to keep the different rule apart.

Elvish.org has links for the Elvish lines from the movie

( Sorry, I cannot add links until I am more well known P )

i love
A si duarth u ortho. U or le a u or nin..
: The world have not spread his darkness. Not on you, not on me..
(something like that, i don't know the perfect sentence..)

(Elvish.org) Did you mean this?

arwen: A si i-Dhúath ú-orthor, Aragorn.
arwen: Ú or le a ú or nin.
...
arwen: Renich i lú i erui govannem?
aragorn: Nauthannen i ned ôl reniannen.
arwen: Gwennin in enninath...
arwen: Ú-'arnech in naeth i si celich.
arwen: Renich i beth i pennen?

arwen: 'The Shadow does not hold sway yet'
Arwen: 'Not over you and not over me.'
...
arwen: 'Do you remember the time when we first met?'

aragorn: 'I thought I had strayed into a dream'
arwen: 'Long years have passed...'
Arwen: 'You did not have the cares you carry now.'
Arwen: 'Do you remember the word I told you?'

I like this one.
The Fellowship of the Ring:

Arwen: "Frodo, im Arwen. Telin le thaed. Lasto beth nin, tolo dan nan galad."

Arwen: " I am Arwen,I've come to help you. Hear my voice, come back to the light.

This really sounds magical.

i have a small quote .

amin mela lle

i love you

quiv yassen ne' agar,
ten almere, atear, ar 'aina neva

awaken with out blood,
for bliss, peer and happiness nears

enjoy. ; )

This is Feanor's reply in the Silmarillion chap. 9
Ve i taura tanon ea i nurmean
almárea carna ya cuileryo tertucis
erya lúmenna tenna i metta telima;
tana carnasse indorya seruva.
Nai panta hwarmar turuvan i alcaro
mírinyais; nan tennoio úvante encárine.
Íre i mirilli mánya hatuva,
ara te hatuvas hón sina: - andácina
yévan, Aman-nóresse yesta ilye Eldaron.
Tava úvan tyaro mirima indonen;
nai mauyuvar ni táre i Valar: entave
anwe onóror istuvanyet Melcoro!

trans.

As for the great maker there is for the lesser
a blissful work that in his life he carries through
on one occasion only to the final conclusion;
in that work his mind then will rest.
Maybe I shall be able to open the locks of the radiance
in my treasures; but never then will they be remade.
If my hand must break the jewels,
beside them it will break this heart:
I shall be, in Aman-land first of all Elves.
Of that I will not be the agent with a free mind;
let the Powers then constrain me: thus
I shall know them to be true brothers of Melcor!

This is the ring poem - "One ring..."

Nelde Cormar Eldatárin nu Tarmenel,
Otso Herunaucoin hrótassen ondova,
Nerte Fírimoin marte nurunen,
Er i More Herun mormahalmas hárala
Morinóreva mí arda, már i fuinion.
Er Corma ilyar turien ar tuvien te,
Er Corma tucien ar móresse nutien te
Morinóreva mí arda, már i fuinion.

@feanor: this version starts with "three rings for the elven kings under the sky", I think

Lament for Gandalf in Lorien

Quenya

A Olórin i yáresse
Mentaner i Númeherui
Tírien i Rómenóri,

Manan elye etevanne
Nórie i malanelye?


Sindarin

Mithrandir, Mithrandir! A Randir Vithren!
Ú-reniathach i amar galen
I reniad lín ne môr, nuithannen
In gwidh ristennin, i fae narchannen
I Lach Anor ed ardhon gwannen
Calad veleg, ethuiannen.



English Translation: Quenya text:

'Olórin whom long ago
sent the Lords of the West
to guard the Lands of the East,
ever-wise of the Maiar
what drove you to leave
land which you loved?'


Sindarin text:

'Mithrandir, Mithrandir, O Pilgrim Grey
No more you will wander the world green
Your journey in darkness stopped
The bonds cut, the spirit broken
The Flame of Anor has left this World
Great light has gone out.'

Tinúviel elvanui
Elleth alfirin edhelhael
O hon ring finnil fuinui
A renc gelebrin thiliol

Tinúviel the elven-fair,
Immortal maiden elven-wise,
About him cast her shadowy hair
And arms like silver glimmering

Revail vyrn dan minuial
ú galad, ú vin anor hen
Cano an dregad
ú natha ored
Gwanwen ost in giliath
Dannen Osgiliath

Black wings against a pale morning
There is no more light, not in this sun
Call the retreat
There will be no warning
The citadel of the stars is gone
Osgiliath is fallen

I love the first lines



Boe le henio
E sí câr athad iyn
Ane ah a phen
I ú athelitha.

You must understand.
He does the duty of two sons now.
For himself; and for the one
who will not return.

elrond: Tangado haid! Leithio i philinn!




elrond: 'Hold positions! Fire the arrows!'

"The Argument"

(*searches text somewhere on her sheets*)

Caedo, losto. Ú-erin davo.
Amman harthach? Anim únad.
Le tûg nach. O hon ú-wannathon.
Ú-moe le anno nad. Ónen a hon beth nín.

Lie down, sleep. / I cannot yield.
Why do you still hope? / I have nothing else.
You are a fool. / I will not leave him.
You owe him nothing / I gave him my word.
Death will break it. / Then let death break it.
He has the last of my heart. / I will go with him to the end.

elrond: I Aear cân ven na mar.



elrond: 'The Sea calls us home

You have fallen.
And I cannot reach you.
Ever step I willed you on,
Every moment I lead you to this.
You never left my mind,
Not once, not ever.

Hige sceal þe heardra, heorte þe cenre,

Nu dalav

Beneath the ground
Swollen hot with anger
Orodruin releases all its ruin.
Earth rips asunder
Black rain falls.
Here at the end;
The end of all things.
The air is aflame,
All the world is on fire!

exas last post...that is now saurons theme tune...so when he comes out in the prologue sing that everyone ok

Here's a long poem of Celebrian's farewell to Elrond

Envinyatalye nainala, meld' aran

Oh Legolas' Song sounds absolutely perfect...

I NGELAIDH DAGRAR - the trees are fighting (but translated as "the trees have gone to war..."

Law, hîr nín, ú-dollen i rîw ... anírach, nui lû, gwannad uin 'waith lín?

Arwens famous interview words... "no, my lord, the winter hasnt come. do you wish, before the time, to leave your people?"

My favorite Elvish Quote is "Le abdollen"

which was quoted bye Leggy, it means "your late" for thoes who dont know

Is this only for LotR? Cause they are other Elven quotes; my fav is: "Est Sularus Oth Mithas" which translates "My Life is My Honor"

I dont understand Elvish

Well, I should think it's meant for the Elvish languages devised by Tolkien, seeing as this is the LotR-Forum.

BTW: That quote seems rather unoriginal, IMAO - the manner and sound of the words in particular seems like half-bastardized Latin, and then simple sounds thrown together....I'd like to know where that's from, actually....
