Howard Shore — The Grace of Undómiel lyrics

Lyrics

THE EVENING STAR
text by PHILIPPA BOYENS, translation by DAVID SALO
(SINDARIN)
Ngil cennin eriel vi Menel aduial.
Glingant sui mîr
Síliel mae.
((I saw a star rise high in The evening sky.
It hung like a jewel
Softly shining.))
Ngil cennin firiel vi Menel aduial.
Dûr, dûr i fuin
Naenol mae.
((I saw a star fade in The evening sky.
The dark was too deep and so light died
Softly pining.))
An i ú nathant
An i naun ului
A chuil, anann cuiannen
A meleth perónen.
((For what might have been
For what never was
For a life long lived
For a love half given.))
