==Elvish lyrics==<br />
<poem style="font-style:italic; margin-left:20px;">Sinome háran i marya silmesse; <br />
Ilmello sílar tinwi lómesse; <br />
Cénanten, i telpeva hendi, <br />
ve cennente i cuivie Quendi. <br />
Alasse antar i menelmíri, <br />
laitan mi anvanye líri. <br />
Oiale ná i silme vinya; <br />
tíranyes sí vi Quende minya, <br />
vi minya Cuiviéneno<br />
cenne cala eleno.</poem><br />
<br />
==English translation==<br />
<poem style="font-style:italic; margin-left:20px;">Here I am sitting in the pale moonlight; <br />
from Ilmen sparks are shining in the night; <br />
They see me, the silvery eyes, <br />
as they saw the wakening Elves. <br />
Joy the heavenly jewels give me, <br />
I praise them in the fairest songs. <br />
Forever is the moonlight new; <br />
I watch them now as the first Elf did<br />
as the first one of Cuiviénen <br />
who saw the light of a star.</poem><br />
