a elbereth gilthoniel,
silivren penna míriel
o menel aglar elenath!
na-chaered palan-díriel
o galadhremmin ennorath,
fanuilos, le linnathon
nef aear, sí nef aearon!
a elbereth gilthoniel o menel palan-diriel, le nallon
sí di-nguruthos! a tiro nin, fanuilos!
o elbereth star-kindler
white glittering slants down sparkling like jewels
from the firmament the glory of the star-host!
to-remote distance far-having gazed
from the tree-tangled middle-lands,
fanuilos, to thee i will chant
on this side of ocean, here on this side of the great ocean!
o elbereth starkindler from firmanent gazing afar, to thee i cry
here beneath death-horror! o look towards me, everwhite!
