Me singing a translation of Into the West into Quenya by Ryszard Derdzinski.
Quenya is one of the Elvish languages that Tolkien created. While more is known about it than Sindarin, Quenya is still an incomplete language, so unfortunately the translation is not 100% accurate. For example there is no known word for 'gulls', so this is translated as 'maiwi', meaning 'birds'.
Númenna (Into the West)
A Caita carelya ammelda ar moiana.
Lanta i lómë, utúlielyë tiëo mettanna.
A lorë si, ar óla len i epë tuller.
Entë yaitar hrestallo pella.
Manen neyilyë? Mallo niër antalyassë?
Rato cenuvalyë sa ilyë caurelyar autuvar,
varna mi inya ranqui.
Man cenilyë eccaianna?
Manen i maiwi ninqui yaitar?
Arta i Eär Isil néca amorta -
Ciryar utúlier an yulu le márelya.
Rómen ahyuva ve hyellë telpina,
i cála nenissë. Ilyë fëar autar.
I Estel vinta ambarenna lómëo,
ter fuini lantala, pella enyalië ar lúmë.
Áva quetë: "Si utúlielwë mettanna".
Hresta ninquë yáma - elyë ar inyë ata ómentuvalwë.
Ar elyë nauva sinomë mi inya ranqui.
Man cenilyë eccaianna?
Manen i maiwi ninqui yaitar?
Arta i Eär Isil néca amorta -
Ciryar utúlier an yulu le márelya.
Ar ilyë ahyuva ve hyellë telpina,
i cála nenissë. Ciryar mistë autar
Númenna.
