@erdariel Hi! some-dude-with-a-cat here. I’m off Tumblr for the semester, hence I’ve made this poor blog my messenger for my Tolkienian shenanigans. Basically I translated most lines as literally as possible with some minor tweaks for scansion. The most liberally translated bit was the firs verse after the intro: “Mama, [I] have now slain a man,/turned an arrow towards his head,/loosed my bowstring, now he’s dead.”

@erdariel – and anyone else with questions for the Great Bard I have become the oracle of XD

“Haradwaith” (“Africa” by Toto translated into Sindarin)

“Haradwaith”

Laron lebym glemrin mi-dhû
Ach he lara erui lhyss pen gobaeth din
He revia min na-berin mîn
Idh-refn ithilui calar i-ngeil sen togar nin na-edraith
Darthennin im iornir ar-phâd
Harthol hiro ioer dedhrennin pith egor iórin lind
Olant ho anim sui pedo
“Noro ion, sen dartha ennas le”

Boiatha aud emabo nin o-chin
Únad polennir haran benn egor meneg 
Ainan i-dhryss dad min-Haradwaith
Mabathon lû garo in-naid ú-agorim

i-Chŷ braig nallar mi-fuin
Sui galar pinîdh iestyl an-ngovennas ereb
Iston san boe anim caro i-dîr
Sui thand sui Orossílol eria Uilossui or-Serengeti
Ceston im nesto i-nûr
Gruithannen o-sen nad san olennin

Boiatha aud emabo nin o-chin
Únad polennir haran benn egor meneg 
Ainan i-dhryss dad min-Haradwaith
Mabathon lû garo in-naid ú-agorim

Noro ion, he dartha ennas le

Boiatha aud emabo nin o-chin
Únad polennir haran benn egor meneg 
Ainan i-dhryss dad mi-Haradwaith
Ainan i-dhryss dad mi-Haradwaith
Ainan i-dhryss dad mi-Haradwaith
Ainan i-dhryss dad mi-Haradwaith
Ainan i-dhryss dad mi-Haradwaith
Mabathon lû garo in-naid ú-agorim

Linnath em-Boehîm

I got bored and translated "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen into Sindarin with Quenya peppered in for the non-English bits (corrections welcome).

“Lindrem e-Behîm”Na sen i-chuil thand? Egor sen hwiniad?

WELL HOLY HELL

Have you heard any of Norwegian composer Martin Romberg’s Silmarillion-inspired work?

😀 I sure have! I have Eldarinwë Líri on tap in m’ iTunes, and a couple of other tracks composed by him ( I mean, I HAD to have the Aulë piano piece). Gorgeous stuff, A+ elfy mood-setting music. 

( I just realized the choir singing is Trio Medieval, who I’m a fan of)
