English:
O Nienna!
You who is weeping for Arda
This I beg of you;
Weep for me
And may your tears clean me of my illness
Sindarin:
Elo Nienna!
Le ai nîr nin Arda
Sen im aniron o le;
Nîr anim
A lothron lîn narchan puig im o nîn lhaew
From Mariette: I wrote this while I was sick, and just recently translated it. There's some problems with the technical translation, but it works well enough anyway. Email or review me if you want to knw what they are (if I can remember :) ). Let me know what you think!
Disclaimer: If you now sue me, you'll get the EEs. But I'm not making any money off of this. And besides, then you would take my precious babies away from me. Please don't!
So who is Nienna?: "Mightier than Estë is Nienna, sister of the Fëanturi; she dwells alone. She is acquainted with grief, and mourns for every wound that Arda has suffered in the marring of Melkor. So great was her sorrow, as the Music unfolded, that her song turned to lamentation long before its end, and the sound of mourning was woven into the themes of the World before it began. But she does not weep for herself; and those who hearken to her learn pity, and endurance in hope. Her halls are west of West, upon the borders of the world; and she comes seldom to the city of Valimar where all is glad. She goes rather to the halls of Mandos, which are near to her own; and all those who wait in Mandos cry to her, for she brings strength to the spirit and turns sorrow to wisdom. The windows of her house look outward from the walls of the world."
