The Two Towers

Foundations of Stone - The Fight
Quenya ("High" Elvish)
Cuiva Ol�rin
N�rendur
Tira nottolya
Tulta tuolya
An mauya mahtie
Ter oiomornie
Ter ondicilyar.

Mettanna.
Nurunna!

Awake Ol�rin
Servant of fire
Face your foe
Summon forth your strength
For you must fight
Through endless dark
Through chasms of stone.

To the end.
To the death!


Foundations of Stone - The Abyss
Khuzd�l (Dwarvish)
Irkat-lukhud ma
katabrikihu
Ulfat-atam ma
tanakhi uduhu
bin-n�t azn�n tarsisi

Bazar udu ag�n�-furkh�n
Gurd!
Ma n�d sakhu!
Ma satf unkhai!
Atk�t zatagrafizu
Zatablugi sulluzu

No shaft of light
Can breach it
No breath of air
Comes from it
Only an endless dark rises

Deep from the beginnings
Of the world.
Have fear.
Do not look down
Nor step too close
The silence will take you.
It will swallow you whole.


The King of the Golden Hall
Old English (Rohirric)

H� laered hine r�dan
And wealdan m�ce
And standan f�st
And f�ond ne forhtian.

N� h� sceal leornian
��t hearde s��:
H� raerede his cnapa
Of cilde t� menn
��t h� his d�a� ges�o.
S� f�ond w�s simble mid heom.
S� f�ond ne reccede ege.

He taught him to ride,
To wield a sword.
To stand strong
And show his enemy no fear.

Now he must learn
The hard truth:
That he had brought his boy
From childhood.
So that he might face
His death like a man.
The enemy was always with them.
The enemy did not care about fear.


�owyn's Dirge (LOTR:TT-EE DVD)
Rohirric (Old English)
Bealocwealm hafa� fr�one
frecan forth onsended
giedd sculon singan
gl�omenn sorgiende
on Meduselde

��t he ma no w�re
his dryhtne dyrest
and m�ga deorost.
Bealo...

An evil death has set
forth the noble warrior
A song shall sing
sorrowing minstrels
in Meduseld

That he is no more,
to his lord dearest
and kinsmen most belover.
An evil death...



Evenstar
Sindarin ("Common" Elvish)


� i vethed n� i onnad.
Si boe �-dhanna.
Ae �-esteli, esteliach nad...
� i vethed n� i onnad.
N� boe � i...

Estelio han, estelio han, estelio.
Estelio han, estelio veleth.
[Es]teliach nad, estelio han.


Rough Translation

This is not the end,
it is the beginning.
You cannot falter now.
If you trust nothing else...
This is not the end,
it is the beginning.
You cannot...

Trust this, trust this, trust.
Trust this, trust love.
Trust something, trust this.


Treebeard - Entmoot
Sindarin ("Common" Elvish)
Naur vi eryn,
lanc i dalaf.
Mathach vi geven?
Nostach vi 'wilith?
M�b le i nagor,
B�d gurth vi ngalad firiel.
Dorthach vi mar han?
Dagrathach go hain?


The woods are burning,
the ground lies bare.
Do you feel it in the earth?
Can you smell it in the air?
The war is upon you,
Death moves in the fading light.
Are you part of this world?
Will you join their fight?


The White Rider - The King
Rohirric (Old English)
Lim-strang w�s geboren
Bearn l�od-cyninga
Magorinc Mearces.
Bunden in byrde t� laedenne
Bunden in lufe t� �egnunge
Lang beadugear c��a�

Lic onginne� b�gan.
Swift d�adlic g�ar
Stieppa� geond willan.
Ac �agan g�et l�cia�
Beorhtre gesih�e;
Heorte g�et b�ate�.


Strong-limbed he was born
This son of Kings;
This warrior of Rohan.
Bound by birth to lead.
Bound by love to serve.
Long years of war
begin to show.

The body has begun to bend.
Swift mortal years
outpace the will.
But the eyes still watch
clear-sighted.
The great heart
is beating still.'


Helm's Deep - The Missing
Rohirric (Old English)
H�o naefre wacode d�gr�d
T� bisig mid d�geweorcum
Ac oft h�o
wacode sunnanwanung

�onne nihtciele cr�ap
geond m�ras
And on �aere hwile
H�o dr�ag �� losinga
Earla �inga
�e h�o forl�as.

H�o sw� oft dr�ag hire
s�wle sincende
H�o ne c��e hire heortan lust.


'She never watched
the morning rising,
Too busy with
the day's first chores,
But oft she would
watch the sun's fading,

As the cold of night crept
across the moors.
And in that moment
She felt the loss
Of everything
that had been missed.

So used to feeling
the spirit sink,
She had not felt
her own heart's wish.
Helm's Deep - The Call
Rohirric (Old English)
Hw�r cw�m helm?
Hwaer cw�m byrne?
Hw�r cw�m feax fl�wende?
Hw�r cw�m hand
on hearpestrenge?
Hw�r cw�m scir f�r scinende?

Hw�r cw�m lencten
and h�rfest?
Hw�r cw�m h�ah corn weaxende?
Hw� gegaderath wudur�c of
wealdholte byrnende?
O��e gesiehth of g�rsecge
�� g�ar gewendende?


'Where is the helm
and the hauberk,
and the bright hair flowing?
Where is the hand
on the harp string,
and the red fire glowing?

Where is the spring
and the harvest
and the tall corn growing?
Who shall gather the smoke of
the dead wood burning?
Or behold the flowing years
from the Sea returning?


Forth Eorlingas - The Mearas
Rohirric (Old English)
For �on h� waes Sceaduf�x
hl�ford ealra m�ara


For he was Shadowfax,
Lord of all Horses.


Breath of Life - Aragorn
Sindarin ("Common" Elvish)
Uich gwennen
na 'wanath ah na dh�n.
An uich gwennen
na ringyrn ambar hen.
Boe naid bain gwannathar,
Boe cuil ban firitha.

Boe naer gwannathach.


You are not bound
to loss and silence.
For you are not bound
to the circles of this world.
All things must pass away,
All life is doomed to fade�

Sorrowing you must go,
(And yet you are not without hope).


Isengard Unleashed - The Ents
Sindarin ("Common" Elvish)
rithannen i geven
thangen i harn
na fennas i daur
�l d�r ristannen
eryn echuiannen

i ngelaidh dagrar
ristar thynd, c�a tawar
dambedir enyd i ganed
si linna i 'waew trin 'ylf
Isto i dur i chuiyl
i ngelaidh dagrar


Earth shakes
Stone breaks
The forest is at your door
The dark sleep is broken
The woods have awoken

The trees have gone to war
Roots rend, wood bends
The Ents have answered the call
Through branches now the wind sings
Feel the power of living things
The trees have gone to war
Isengard Unleashed - Haldir's Lament
Quenya ("High" Elven)

Ar sindarn�riello mornie caita,
Ar ilye tier undul�ve lumbule...


'And grey-country-from lies darkness,
And all roads down-licked [the] clouds...'


Note from Rey: I'm not really sure what this one means. I'd translate it "And in lands of shadow lies darkness, and all roads pass down through clouds," but I know next to nothing about Quenya or Elvish translation. Could someone who's read The Road Goes Ever On correct me on this?
