Corina is right - Tolkien �s Elvish - there �s a whole dictionary with it... |

As far as I can find in google it is an elphic poem. I found a website in which there �s a whole explanation about that. However it is in spanish. Here �s the link and it might help you. I couldn �t find it in english, sorry

The language used, if I remember correctly, is the �Quenya� dialect of Elvish. As far as the translation of the poem goes, I don�t know as it�s been a long time since I last read Tolkien or delved into the Elvish dialects he created.
Here are a couple of resources that may help you:
I believe the poet may also have used some non standard spellings & maybe even combined a few words. If you have a copy of �The Silmarillion� around it may help you!
Good luck AB

It �s definitely Elvish, but not a poem I recognise. �Ai � is �alas � or a cry of some kind �, �i � is �and � and �namarie � is �farewell � - that �s all I can remember of Quenya. I believe it shares some similarities to Finnish, but I wouldn �t swear to it! The poem you posted looks similar to �Galadriel �s Lament � but it �s not the same poem. �Galadriel �s Lament � is in Quenya so that would be your best place to start!
A lot of people (*cough*) write poetry in Elvish (I was young - don �t judge) so it �s possible that this isn �t an original Tolkien poem, but something someone else has written, using his language and style. I googled it and it came up with a lot of pages in Spanish but none in English so I suspect that �s the problem with finding the translation. Or perhaps the Spanish version has changed the words slightly!
good luck!
