Author's Notes:

Disclaimer:  The wonderful language of Quenya and the only Elf-Ainu pair on record are the property of genial J.R.R.T. 

Disclaimer 2:  I am not Japanese and I am familiar with Japanese culture not nearly as well as I would like to be, so my haikus probably suck as haikus, but I tried to do my best.

***

This is the original English version

Thingol and Melian

Long before the Sun

First rose over the young forest

Two hearts sang with love

***

This is the final Quenya version with English translation

Elwë Singollo ar Melyanna

Anar vá orta an linyéni

Or i taurë nessa ar lindë

Atta fear lindaner melmenen.

Sun will not rise for many years [yet]

Over the forest young and singing

Two hearts sang [because of] love.

***

This is one of the undeservedly forgotten great love stories…

This haiku (Quenya version) is one of my personal favorites.
