Just before Randy gets this, I think it's "Arwen your beauty, Farewell".

There is already a thread for this in the Middle Earth forum, "does anyone know elvish", but I'll help anyway. It means "Arwen beautiful dear, farewell" and it was Aragorn in a flashback to the last time he had seen Arwen. Just think back to the movie, with the scene at night between them. Same deal

If you call me Randy again your going to get a really bad wedgy CBG. You'll be be doing some serious undy-tasting. Geez, I can't believe what that bleeping bleep Wayfarer caused here.

Tolkien linguist David Salo has a different reaction to even Tolkien's explanation. I include it for (possible ) interests sake. David worked on the langs for the film, if his name sounds familiar (or is unfamiliar):
