Here's the stanza of the song of Nimrodel that Panneth and I translated.

Nef i lenthir Nimrodel

Besides the falls of Nimrodel

Na nen lim a him

By water clear and cool

Peth dín sui dannol celeb dannant

Her voice as falling silver fell

Minna i ael hílol

Into the shining pool

Ias si revia ú-ben gâr treneri

Where now she wonders none can tell

Vi glawar egor vi gwath

In sunlight or in shade

An ú-ár rado e-mrûn nant Nimrodel

For lost of yore was Nimrodel

A vi in eryd reniant

And in the mountains strayed



And that's all we have ... I'm sorry that I don't have a word-by-word version, but we translated this about a year ago and I think I've lost all the rough drafts I had. I might add that this was revised by Naneth, one of our mentors at Council of Elrond, so I feel safe saying that it is a pretty solid translation.

... and if anyone is interested on translating the rest of the poem, we could give it a try Wink !

Hmmm... Now, does anyone know how to say "undress and get on the bed"?


Elentari,

this is what I came up with:

heltho chammadech a bado na chaust

Literally: "strip your clothing and go to bed."

Now that I think about it ... it may come handy Very Happy !
