Luthien Tinuviel's Leather-Bound Journal Hi. I don't really post in my journal often. Please ignore all old poetry/song posts. I hereby repent of their crappiness. Most posts will be completely random. Ah, well. ^_^

The First Part of Dji's Christmas Present! ^_^
Quenya translations of O Come All Ye Faithful, We Three Kings, and Away in a Manger. (The O Come All Ye Faithful is a better, newly-edited version than that in the previous post!) Since the words are different, you sometimes have to play around with what words are held notes, and for how longs, and things like that, but it all fits fairly well, considering. xd

Away In a Manger


Original Lyrics
Away in a manger,
no crib for His bed,
The little Lord Jesus
laid down His sweet head;
The stars in the heavens
looked down where He lay,
The little Lord Jesus
asleep on the hay.


Quenya Translation

Oa mí nes colca,
Lá ëa putsë-caima,
I pitya hér Jesus
Camo cárrya lissë;
I eleni mí ilwë
Tirar undu or se,
I pitya hér Jesus
Lorna or i silcessë.


Literal Translation of Quenya Translation

Away in the feed box,
There is no baby-bed,
The little lord Jesus
Lays down his sweet head;
The stars in the heavens
Look down upon him,
The little lord Jesus
Asleep upon the hay.



O, Come, All Ye Faithful


Original Lyrics:
O, come, all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant
O, come ye,
O, come ye,
To Bethlehem.
Come and adore him,
Born the King of Angels.
O come, let us adore him,
O come, let us adore him,
O come, let us adore him,
Christ the Lord.


Quenya Translation:

A, á tulë ilyë vórimalye,
Alassëa ar túrëa
A, á tulë le,
A, á tulë le,
Bethlehemnna.
Á tulë ar caw na se,
Se na Tur or Valar.
A, á tulë lavmet caw na se,
A, á tulë lavmet caw na se,
A, á tulë lavmet caw na se,
Christ i Heru.


Literal Translation of Quenya Translation:

O, come all thou faithful,
Joyful and victorious
O, come you,
O, come you,
To Bethlehem,
Come and bow to him,
He is King over Angels.
O, come, allow us to bow to him,
O, come, allow us to bow to him,
O, come, allow us to bow to him,
Christ the Lord.



We Three Kings


Original Lyrics

We three kings of orient are,
bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain,
moor and mountain,
following yonder star.

O star of wonder, star of night,
star with royal beauty bright.
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect light.


Quenya Translation

Elmë, neldë ettelëa turi,
Lelyar haira toqur annar
Endil, ehtelë,
Lá ar oron,
Hilyëa entassë él.

A él as alcar, silë él,
Él as calima vanessë.
Númen núlë, er lelyëar,
Rilmalya saca ve.

Literal Translation of Quenya Translation

We, three foreign kings,
Travel far bearing gifts
Plain, fountain,
Moor and mountain,
Following yonder star.

O star with splendor, shining star,
Star with bright beauty.
West leading, still proceeding,
Thy glittering light draws us.

O Come All Ye Faithful - Quenya
^_^ I translated O Come All Ye Faithful into Quenya, as closely as I could for the moment. I think it's all right, but if anyone notices an error, let me know, so I can change it! Thanks! It all seems to fit into the original melody, with two exceptions - in singing it, you have to drop the "O" ("A" in Quenya) for it to fit, and the second line doesn't fit quite right. It just takes some playing with to get it to flow.

Original Lyrics:
O, come, all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant
O, come ye,
O, come ye,
To Bethlehem.
Come and adore him,
Born the King of Angels.
O come, let us adore him,
O come, let us adore him,
O come, let us adore him,
Christ the Lord.


Quenya Translation:

A, á tulë ilyë vórimalye,
Quanta alassënen ar apairënen
A, á tulë elyë,
A, á tulë elyë,
Bethlehemnna.
Á tulë ar caw na se,
Se na Tur or Valar.
A, á tulë lavmet caw na se,
A, á tulë lavmet caw na se,
A, á tulë lavmet caw na se,
Christ i Heru.


Literal Translation of Quenya Translation:
O, come all thou faithful,
Full with joy and with victory
O, come thou,
O, come thou,
To Bethlehem,
Come and bow to him,
He is King over Angels.
O, come, allow us to bow to him,
O, come, allow us to bow to him,
O, come, allow us to bow to him,
Christ the Lord.


I'm also working on translating Away In A Manger, but I don't know when I'll be done with that.
