The Fight
(Featured in “Foundations of Stone”)

Cuiva Olórin
Nárendur
Tira nottolya
Tulta tuolya
An mauya mahtie
Ter oiomornie

Awake Olórin
Servant of fire
Face your foe
Summon forth your strength
For you must fight
Through endless dark
Through chasms of stone.
To the end.
To the death!
The Abyss (Gandalf’s Fight with the Balrog)
(Featured in “Foundations of Stone”)
(Khuzdûl)
Irkat-lukhud ma
katabrikihu
Ulfat-atam ma
tanakhi uduhu
bin-nât aznân tarsisi
Bazar udu agânî-furkhîn
Gurd!
Ma nîd sakhu!
Ma satf unkhai!
Atkât zatagrafizu
Zatablugi sulluzu.
***
(English)
“No shaft of light
Can breach it
No breath of air
Comes from it
Only an endless dark rises
Deep from the beginnings
Of the world.
Have fear.
Do not look down
Nor step too close
The silence will take you.
It will swallow you whole”.
The Fallen (Théoden Grives for his Son)
(Featured in “The King of the Golden Hall”)
(Rohirric)
Hé laered hine rídan
And wealdan méce
And standan fæst
And féond ne forhtian.
Nú hé sceal leornian
Ðæt hearde sóð:
Hé raerede his cnapa
Of cilde tó menn
Ðæt hé his déað geséo.
Sé féond wæs simble mid heom.
Sé féond ne reccede ege.
***
(English)
“He taught him to ride,
To wield a sword.
To stand strong
And show his enemy no fear.
Now he must learn
The hard truth:
That he had brought his boy
From childhood.
So that he might face his death
Like a man.
The enemy was always with them.
The enemy did not care about fear”.
Théodred’s Funeral
(Sung by Eowyn)
(Rohirric)
Bealocwealm hafað fréone frecan forth onsended
giedd sculon singan gléomenn sorgiende
on Meduselde
þæt he ma no
wære
his dryhtne dyrest and mæga deorost.
Bealo...
***
(English)
”An evil death has set forth the noble warrior
A song shall sing sorrowing minstrels
in Meduseld that he is no more,
to his lord dearest and kinsmen most belover.
An evil death...”.

Ú i vethed nâ i onnad.
Si boe ú-dhanna.
Ae ú-esteli, esteliach nad.

Nâ boe ú i.

This is not the end... It is the beginning.
Now it is necessary (that) don’t fall.
If you don't trust something.
Not the end, it is the beginning.
It is necessary that don’t fall.
Trust this, trust this, trust,
Trust this, trust love.
(Chorus in Sindarin)
(Es)teliach nad, estelio han.
***

If you trust anything, trust this.
The King (Théoden is Transformed by Gandalf)
(Featured in “The White Rider”)
(Rohirric)
Lim-strang wæs geboren
Bearn léod-cyninga
Magorinc Mearces.
Bunden in byrde tó laedenne
Bunden in lufe tó ðegnunge
Lang beadugear cýðað
Lic onginneð búgan.
Swift déadlic géar Stieppað geond willan.
Ac éagan gíet lóciað Beorhtre gesihðe;
Heorte gíet béateð.
***
(English)
Strong-limbed he was born
This son of Kings;
This warrior of Rohan.
Bound by birth to lead.
Bound by love to serve.
Long years of war begin to show.
The body has begun to bend.
Swift mortal years outpace the will.
But the eyes still watch clear-sighted.
The great heart is beating still.
Entmoot (Entaconsulta)
(Featured in “Treebeard”)
(Sindarin)
Naur vi eryn,
lanc i dalaf.
Mathach vi geven?
Nostach vi 'wilith?
Máb le i nagor,
Bád gurth vi ngalad firiel.
Dorthach vi mar han?
Dagrathach go hain?
***
(English)
The woods are burning,
the ground lies bare.
Do you feel it in the earth?
Can you smell it in the air?
The war is upon you,
Death moves in the fading light.
Are you part of this world?
Will you join their fight?
The Missing
(Featured in “Helm’s Deep”)
(Rohirric)
Héo naefre wacode dægréd
Tó bisig mid dægeweorcum
Ac oft héo wacode sunnanwanung
Ðonne nihtciele créap geond móras
And on ðaere hwile
Héo dréag ðá losinga
Earla ðinga ðe héo forléas.
Héo swá oft dréag hire sáwle sincende
Héo ne cúðe hire heortan lust.
***
(English)
“She never watched the morning rising,
Too busy with the day's first chores,
But oft she would watch the sun's fading,
As the cold of night crept across the moors.
And in that moment
She felt the loss
Of everything that had been missed.
So used to feeling the spirit sink,
She had not felt her own heart's wish”.
The Call (Théoden Dresses For Battle)
(Featured in “Helm’s Deep” – “The Hornburg” – “Forth Eorlingas”)
(Rohirric)
Hwær cwóm helm? Hwaer cwóm byrne?
Hwær cwóm feax flówende?
Hwær cwóm hand on hearpestrenge?
Hwær cwóm scir fýr scinende?
Hwær cwóm lencten and hærfest?
Hwær cwóm héah corn weaxende?
Hwá gegaderath wuduréc of
wealdholte byrnende?
Oððe gesiehth of gársecge
ðá géar gewendende?
***
(English)
“Where is the helm and the hauberk,
and the bright hair flowing?
Where is the hand on the harp string,
and the red fire glowing?
Where is the spring and the harvest
and the tall corn growing?
Who shall gather the smoke of
the dead wood burning?
Or behold the flowing years
from the Sea returning?”.
Rock and Pool
(Sung by Sméagol in the
Forbidden Pool)
(English)
The rocks and pool,
Is nice and cool,
So juicy sweeeet!
I only wish,
To catch a fish,
So juicy sweeeeet!
***
(Italian)
Che freddo stagno
Per fare un bagno,
Polposo, sì!
Se mi riesce
Io cerco un pesce,
Polposo, sì!
The Breath of Life
(Sindarin)
Uich gwennen na 'wanath ah na dhín.
An uich gwennen na ringyrn ambar hen.
Boe naid bain gwannathar,
Boe cuil ban firitha.
Boe naer gwannathach, [...]
***
(English)
You are not bound to loss and silence.
For you are not bound to the circles of this world.
All things must pass away,
All life is doomed to fade...
Sorrowing you must go, (and yet you are not without hope).
The Mearas
(Featured in “Forth Eorlingas” – “The White Rider”)
(Rohirric)
For ðon hé wæs scea hé fæx wæs ford ealra mé du and hé fæx hlá.
***
(English)
”For he was Shadow...., he, ...fax, was ...lord of all hor..., ...dow..., and he, ...fax, lord...”.
***

For ðon hé waes Sceadufæx
hláford ealra méara.

Ar sindarnóriello mornië caita,
Ar ilye tier unduláve lumbule...
***
(English)
“And grey country from lies darkness,
And all roads down-licked (the) clouds...”.
The Ents
(Featured in “Isengard Unleashed”)
(Sindarin)
Rithannen i geven
Thangen i harn
Na fennas i daur
Ôl dûr ristannen
Eryn echuiannen
I ngelaidh dagrar
Ristar thynd, cúa tawar
Dambedir enyd i ganed
Si linna i 'waew trin 'ylf
Isto i dur i chuiyl
I ngelaidh dagrar.
***
(English)
Earth shakes
Stone breaks
The forest is at your door
The dark sleep is broken
The woods have awoken
The trees have gone to war
Roots rend, wood bends
The Ents have answered the call
Through branches now the wind sings
Feel the power of living things
The trees have gone to war.
Gollum’s Song
Where once was light
Now darkness falls
Where once was love
Love is no more
Don't say -- Goodbye
Don't say -- I didn't try.
These tears we cry
Are falling rain
For all the lies
You told us
The hurt, the blame!
And we will weep
To be so alone
We are lost!
We can never go home
So in the end
I will be -- what I will be
No loyal friend
Was ever there for me
Now we say -- Goodbye
We say -- You didn't try.
These tears you cry
Have come too late
Take back the lies
The hurt, the blame!
And you will weep
When you face the end alone
You are lost!
You can never go home.
