A Elbereth Gilthoniel
o Elbereth who lit the stars
silivren penna míriel
from glittering crystal slanting falls with light like jewels
o menel aglar elenath
from heaven on high the glory of the starry host
na chaered palan díriel
to lands remote I have looked afar
o galadhremmin ennorath
from tree-tangled middle-lands
o Elbereth who lit the stars
from glittering crystal slanting falls with light like jewels
from heaven on high the glory of the starry host
to lands remote I have looked afar
from tree-tangled middle lands
Chorus
Elbereth Gilthoniel
sir evrin pennar oriel
dir avos eithen miriel
bel daurion sel aurinon
pennáros evrin ériol
a tiro’men Gilthoniel
a tiro nin, Fanuilos
le nallon sí di’nguruthos \
Fanuilos, le linnathon
and now to thee, Fanuilos, bright spirit clothed in ever-white, I will sing
nef aear, sí nef aearon
here ... beyond the Sea, beyond the wide and sundering Sea
a Elbereth
oh Elbereth
o menel palan diriel
from heaven gazing far
le nallon sí di’nguruthos
here overwhelmed in dread of Death I cry
a tiro nin
a tiro nin, Fanuilos
o guard me, Elbereth
Chorus
Elbereth Gilthoniel

pennáros evrin ériol
a tiro’men Gilthoniel
oh watch us, Gilthoniel
a tiro’men Gilthoniel
oh watch us, Gilthoniel
a tiro nin, Fanuilos
o guard me, Elbereth
