Lyrics by J.R.R. Tolkien, music by Howard Shore, translated into Quenya by David Salo. It is this famous High Elven song of Elbereth Gilthoniel that Frodo and Sam hear the Wood Elves sing as they are on their way to the Grey Havens, singing words to the Lady of Hope for comfort in this hour of their leaving Middle-Earth forever.
A Bereth thar Ennui
Aeair!
A Galad ven i reniar
hí 'aladhremmin
ennorath.
A Elbereth Gilthoniel
i chin a thûl lîn i gelair...
'O Queen beyond the Western Seas!
O light to us that wander
here amid the world of woven-trees.
O Gilthoniel!
O Elbereth!
the eyes and breath your which are brilliant...'
