The whole sentence (too long for the sig 🙁) would be
"Nan uye sere indo-ninya simen, ullume,
Ten si ye tyelma, yeva tyel ar-i-narqelion,
ire ilqa yeva notina, hostainieva, yallume,
ananta uva tare farea, ufarea! -
Man tare antava nin Iluvatar, Iluvatar
enyare tar i tyel, ire Anarinya qeluva?"Which means
"But my heart resteth not here forever, for here is ending, and there will be an end and the Fading, when all is counted, and all numbered at last, but yet it will not be enough, not enough - what will the father, O father, give me on that day beyond the End when my Sun faileth?"
