Aníron #

The Council of Elrond #

O môr henion i dû:
Ely siria, êl síla.
Ai! Aníron Undómiel.

Tíro! Êl eria e môr.
I’lîr en êl luitha ‘úren.
Ai! Aníron.

From darkness I understand the night:
Dreams flow, a star shines.
Ah! I desire Evenstar.

Look! A star rises out of the darkness.
The song of the star enchants my heart.
Ah! I desire.

The Very Best of Enya (2009)#

E môr henion i dû:
Ely siria, êl sila.
Ai! Aníron Undomiel.

Tiriel arad ‘ala môr
Minnon i dû - sad oltha.
Ai! Aníron Edhelharn.
Ai! Aníron Edhelharn.

Out of darkness I understand the night:
Dreams flow, a star shines.
Ah! I desire Evenstar.

Having watched the day grow dark
I go into night - a place to dream.
Ah! I desire Elfstone.
Ah! I desire Elfstone.

The Passing of the Elves #

Fanuilos heryn aglar
Rîn athar annún-aearath
Calad ammen i reniar
Mi ‘aladfremmin ennorath!

A Elbereth Gilthoniel
I chîn a thûl lin míriel
Fanuilos le linnathon
Ne ndor haer thar i aearon

A elin na gaim eglerib
Ned în ben-anor trerennin
Si silivrin ne pherth ‘waewib
Cenim lyth thílyn thuiennin

A Elbereth Gilthoniel
Men echenim sí derthiel
Ne chaered hen nu ‘aladhath
Ngilith or annún-aearath
