Finarfin's Last Words to His Brothers in Araman.
Brother – your fire-red cloak;
Brother – your cloak night-blue;
Brothers, you left me standing
Where the icy wind blew.
Brother like roaring fire!
Brother like cold winter wind!
Brothers, I made the choice
To stay behind when you leave.
Brothers, despair has claimed you!
Brothers, believe in your strength!
Brothers, you will gain your victory
Unless one the other betrays.

Metimë Quettar Arafinwëo Aramanesse
Toron – collalya narwa;
Toron – collalya lóméluin;
Torni, heltalyën termalarala
I helca súresse wintala.
Toron ve rávëa nárë!
Toron ve yelw' súrë hrívëo!
Torni, haryanyë írëPelë marenna ap' autalyë.
Torni, il-haryalyë estel!
Torni, fëalyar na tulca!
Torni, apairëlya anwa!
Á ná quettalyar voronda!
