Translation of the song The Dead Marshes artist The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (OST)

Sindarin

The Dead Marshes

English translation

The Dead Marshes

I ngyrth sí ú-lostar

The dead do not sleep here

Ú-chiriar îdh

They have found no rest

Hiriar harch ring a nîd

Only a cold, dank grave

Tano i óner

To mark what they gave,

Io na ndagor veleg

To a great battle – long ago;

Na dûr ben-galu, na naeth arvethed

To a fruitless victory – to endless woe.

Mín galad a chuil ban.

One light for each life.

Mín sarch a ngurth ban.

One grave for every death.
