Ainulindale lyrics
One of my friends is writing a symphony of the Ainulindale, and has asked me to write some Elvish poetry for him. I have never written poetry in my life, so I have no idea if what I came up with is even semi-decent, at all what Tolkien might have wanted, or how to improve it.
Even though I haven't been around Entmoot in a few years, I thought someone here might have ideas, suggestions, or corrections Here's what I have so far: Illuvatar, laituvan le. Anelye nin oma. Linan lait le. Anelye nin tur/val Anelye nin men Linan le! translated, it should be something like: Illuvatar, I will praise thee. Thou hast given me voice. I sing to praise you. Thou hast given me power. Thou hast given me direction. I sing to thee!
