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