THE ABYSS

translation by DAVID SALO

( ADÛNAIC )

Irkat-lukhud ma

Katabrikihu

Ulfat-atam ma

Tanakhi uduhu

Bin-nât aznân tarsisi

Bazar udu agânî-furkhîn

(( No shaft of light

Can breach it.

No breath of air

Comes from it.

Only an endless dark rises

Deep from the beginnings of the world. ))

Gurd!

Ma nîd sakhu!

Ma satf unkhai!

Atkât zatagrafizu

Zatablugi sulluzu

(( Have fear!

Do not look down!

Nor step too close!

The silence will take you

It will swallow you whole ))

THE FIGHT

text by PHILIPPA BOYENS

translation by DAVID SALO

( QUENYA )

Cuiva Olórin

Nárendur.

Tira nottolya

Tulta tuolya.

(( Awake Olórin

Servant of fire.

Face your foe

Summon forth your strength. ))

An mauya mahtie

Ter oiomornie

Ter ondilcilyar

Mettanna.

Nurunna!

(( For you must fight

Through endless dark

Through chasms of stone

To the end.

To the death! ))
