The Silent Harp

[Aestivan]

A song of the Laiquendi, rendered in the Sindarin, performed of necessity without accompaniment:


I'annel Dínen

Linnem ennas i gelon annan
In Ennin sui less alediel
Gennil mín celevyn suilir elin
Gennil mín mellyn linnir na aew

Nae an endrainn i siriar haeron
In Ennin sui less alediel
Si elin tiriar dad na vín dínin
Si aewelir pain reviar pelain

Ma le harna, gannel nín celevon?
In Ennin sui less alediel
Anirach aen Annûn haewain
Linnad úbor nef na gelon?

A! i'hyl ring tan tolir o Thruven
In Ennin sui less alediel
Le glingithan aen na datharolf
Ar channathan aen an falas?



The Silent Harp

Long beside the river we sang
Years like leaves without number
Our silver harps greeted the stars
Our golden harps sang with the birds

Alas for the ages that slip away
Years like leaves without number
Now the stars look silently down
Now the songbirds are all flown

What ails you, my silver harp?
Years like leaves without number
Do you long for the utmost West
No more beside the river to sing?

O, cold the winds that blow from the East
Years like leaves without number!
Shall I hang you from a willow-branch
And go to seek the shore?


TL;DR, We miss our harps, Turbine! Please fix them!
