AERLINN AN EOWYN

Rohan Thandwen, iell in erain
Faen rodwen, hûn lîn lacha na i dagor
Amar lîn prestar aen a rimmich i chae na rûth lîn
Dolen ne le i daug darthant caned en auth
Tollen i lû.
O beth lîn teli sîr en agar
Nallo naeth lîn a tiro i aur teli
Han bâd lîn.
Estelio an le. A si i-Dhùath ù-othor.




Translation:

ODE TO ÉOWYN

Rohan Shieldmaiden, Daughter of Kings
White virgin, your heart is burning with the battle
Your world is changed and you flow the earth with your anger
Hidden in you, the warrior waited the call of war
The time is come.
From your voice come a river of blood
Cry your despair and see the day coming
It's your path.
Trust you. The Shadow does not hold sway yet.
