Utúlië I Lómë
Éli teldavë alámier ter Ambar,
anvoronwa lómë ná sinomë.
Ala! Teluvaryë mi enquë astar.
Ela! Telumessë formenyë rilmar!
I menteviltë lómen hyamelmë.
Culda fantalenen vaitië lómë.
Lá ve cemnë míri siler rilmar,
linquilië vi Silmarilli calimë –
lá yá calafarnë sitë cendanelmë!
Lúsinë Valat fanyarë calyar.
Vi úrin foao lóceo calima –
lutúla elenillo anwa silima –
viler ve findëa linta solmë –
lianen lingala – fána vasar silma –
tieryanna eldilóra lómë.
The Night has come
The stars have finally chimed throughout the world,
the longest night is here.
Hail! It will end within six months.
Behold! In the firmament the northern lights!
For the endless night we pray.
The golden-red cloak has enveloped the night.
Like no earthly gems shine the lights,
multicoloured like the Silmarils bright –
not before such foliage of light we had seen!
The two glowing Valar [Manwë and Varda] the skies illuminate.
Like the blazing of a bright dragon's breath
True silima flowing down from the stars
Fly like a swift plaited wave
By a thin thread hanging – a cloud a shining veil –
The night on her starless path.

Namarië ...
Namárië, meldonya? Mára mesta! Nai elen siluva lúmenn' omentielvo.
Vous n'avez pas un peu fini vos enfantillages tous les deux !!!
Pourrait-on au moins avoir la version sous-titrée, tout de même. C'est un monde ça !
Je laisse la main à Alatar.
Well, it should roughly translate as something like : Farewell, dear ? Goodbye rather. May a star shine on the day of our meeting.
I've had to struggle for some time with this, though most of it sounded (or read) familiar. I still have to lay my hands on an elvish grammar, that could account for some word endings.
Goodbye then and well met. I'll be glad to keep in touch from afar.
This is excellent, Alatar! A true Elf seems to have elected his abode in you. "Meldonya" literally is "my friend" (meldo "friend" + nya "my").
If you want a Quenya grammar, I direct you to my friend's Helge Fauskanger's, which is top notch, which you can find at

I can also help you, if need be.
Mára mesta, meldonya.
