In Dreams

Written by Howard Shore
Sindarin translation by Taramiluiel

 

When the cold of winter comes
Ir i chelch e-thrîw dôl

When the cold of winter comes

Starless night will cover day
Fuin pen-geil tobatha aur

Night starless will cover day
 

In the veiling of the sun
Abwathred en Anor

After the veiling of the sun

We will walk in bitter rain
Padatham di ross haer

We will walk under bitter rain
 

But in dreams I still hear your name
Mi elei lathron eneth chîn

In dreams I hear your name

And in dreams we will meet again
Ar mi elei ad geveditham

And in dreams we will meet again  

When the seas and mountains fall
Ir in aeair ar ered dhannar

When the seas and mountains fall

And we come to end of days
Ar telim nan methed en oer

And we come to the end of days

In the dark I hear a call, calling me there
Min fuin lathron ganed, canel nin ennas

In the dark I hear a call, calling me there

I will go there and back again
Bedithon ennas ar athelithon
I will go there and I will return

 Notes:
Chîn
“your” is unattested
Athol- “come back, return” is created from ad- “back” + tol- “come”
