Translated by Helmut W. Pesch, Sindarin.
Be Gil-galad Eledharan
linnar i naergon telegain,
medui i ardh îm main a lhain
im Belegaer a Hithaeglir.
Megil dîn ann ar eth dîm maeg.
Palan i thôl dîs silivren
tinnant, thand dîn en-thiliant
in elenath arnediad.
Dan anann io o-norant,
ar ú-ben ista i mbar dîn.
An elen dîn 'ni fuin dant
vi Mordor, innas guruthos.
Gil-galad was an Elven-king.
Of him the harpers sadly sing:
the last whose realm was fair and free
between the Mountains and the Sea.
His sword was long, his lance was keen,
his shining helm afar was seen;
the countless stars of heaven's field
were mirrored in his silver shield.
But long ago he rode away,
and where he dwelleth none can say;
for into darkness fell his star
in Mordor where the shadows are.
