Ai Yavanna Kementári,

heru Aulo aldatári,

Ardo coirloaron

halla calannon!



Tirelye i laitë!

Teltie na mornie?

Lumbuleambar tintuva

arambar i lindo?

Mordînorë mãn nuva

arorë i quendo?



Nai - ve i dacil úlinuvan!

Ve i caldacil úlaituvan!

Carner serker kelvaron

untupuvar lair olvaron!



O Yavanna Queen of the Earth,

tree-queen of Lord Aulë,

Arda's living growth's

tall door of light!



Watch over the worshipper!

Is darkness the last road?

Will a shadowy fate sparkle

beside the fate of the singer?

Will a dark silent heart be good

beside the heart of the speaker?



Victorious, I will not sing!

Having overcome light, I will not praise!

The red blood of living creatures

will cover the green of plants!



(the title of the poem is in Sindar and I have forgotten how 'beleth' translates. Help is welcome)
