Translation of The Long Song by Murray Gold from Doctor Who The Rings of Akhaten. I can't print the lyrics here due to copyright, but they're easily found via search engine—or, better yet—on YouTube with the tune of the accompanying song.

Literal translation:

The-Song Long

Rest, my warrior

Rest, the-task-yours [is] finished

Live. Awake. Awake.

May it be the cloak [of] life keeps the-bones-yours.

Keep the-bones-yours.

Awake. Awake.

Live. Awake. Awake.

May it be the cloak [of] life keeps the-bones-yours.

Keep the-bones-yours.

Awake. Awake.

Live. Awake. Awake.

May it be the cloak [of] life keeps the-bones-yours.

Keep the-bones-yours.

Awake. Awake.

Keep the-bones-yours.

Awake. Awake.

No Sindarin reconstruction is perfect, as there are no native speakers (or the Professor) to tell us whether our most educated and agreed upon hypotheses are correct.

®Sedh-: (v. stem) "to be quiet, to be still" becomes sedho (v. imp.). This reconstructed verb stem was created by David Salo for The Fellowship of the Ring movie, and can be found in Gandalf's command to the winds at Caradhras from the stem SED-, 'rest, peace'.

®Echuia-: (v. stem) Wake up becomes echuio (v. imp.). This reconstructed verb stem was created by Dreamingfifi of realelvish. net from the stems ET+KUY+Â.

®Ach: (n. singular) Bone becomes aich (n. plural). This reconstruction was created by Dreamingfifi of realelvish. net from Queyna 'Axë'.

®Tel-: (v. stem) To be done/ to be finished becomes ®*telant (v, past personless analgous form modeled off of mel-), becomes ®*telannen (v, perfect passive participle). This reconstructed verb stem was created by Dreamingfifi of realelvish. net from the stem TELE. The questionable conjugation is my own.
