The Hobbit Drinking Song

(Hobbits at "The Green Dragon")

(English)

Hey, oh! To the bottle I go

To heal my heart and drown my woe.

Rain my fall and wind may blow,

But there still be many miles to go.

Sweet is the sound of the pouring rain

And the stream that falls from hill to plain

Better than rain or rippling brook

Is a mug of beer inside this Took!
 

***
 

 (Italian)

Hey, oh! La bottiglia che io voglio

Guarisce il cuore, annega il cordoglio.

Pioggia o vento, sissignor

Ma ci sono molte miglia ancor.

Dolce è il rumore della pioggerellina

E il ruscello che parte dalla collina

Ma meglio di questi è soprattutto

Un boccale di birra dentro il Took!

O Queen Beyond the Western Seas

(Canzone degli Elfi dei Boschi)

A Bereth thar Ennui Aeair!
Calad ammen i reniar
Mi 'aladhremmin ennorath.

I chin a thûl lín míriel...

(English)

“O Queen beyond the Western Seas!
O light to us that wander
Amid the tree-woven lands of Middle-earth.
O Elbereth Star-kindler
The eyes and breath your (are) shining like jewels...”.

The Ring Poem

Shre nazg golugranu kilmi-nudu

Ombi kuzddurbagu gundum-ishi

Nugu gurunkilu bard gurutu

Ash Burz-Durbagu burzum-ishi

Daghburz-ishi makha gulshu darulu.

(Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul,

ash nazg thrakatulûk agh burzum-ishi krimpatul)

Daghburz-ishi makha gulshu darulu.

Gû kîbum kelkum-ishi, burzum-ishi. Akha - gûm-ishi ashi gurum.
Nubin sherkuk, rakhizinash, matizinashûk, matizin Umbrûk.

(English)

”Three rings for Elven kings under sky

Seven for dwarf lords in halls

Nine for-mortals doomed to die

One for Dark Lord in darkness

In Mordor where shadows lie.

(One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,

One Ring to bring them all and in the Darkness bind them)

In Mordor where shadows lie.

There is no life in the cold, in the dark. Here in the void only death.

I smell your blood. I shall devour it, eat it all, eat all the world”.

In Dreams

(Featured in “The Breaking of the Fellowship”)

When the cold of winter comes
Starless night will cover day
In the veiling of the sun
We will walk in bitter rain.

But in dreams (But in dreams)
I can hear your name
And in dreams (And in dreams)
We will meet again.

When the seas and mountains fall
And we come to end of days
In the dark I hear a call
Calling me there
I will go there
And back again.

May It Be

May it be an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh how far you are from home

Mornië utúlië (darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornië alantië (darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now

May it be the shadow's call
Will fly away
May it be you journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun

Mornië utúlië (darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornië alantië (darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now

A promise lives within you now.
