Sedhel i fuin, aer i fuin (SINDARIN/GREY ELVEN - J.R.R. Tolkien)
TRANSLATED BY: Alfred W. Tueting 

Sedhel i fuin, aer i fuin, 
Lostar pain, ereb tíril 
In edhryn aer a i laes aer-guin 
Dollen na ven or amar vín. 
Eruchên, losto hi mae(r)! 
Eruchên, losto hi mae(r)! 

Sedhel i fuin, aer i fuin, 
Tirnath lathrar hiniath-vaer dîn 
Uin aerlinn 'ellui i linnen o chaw, 
Egleriar i menel-hirth Eru vin-glaw, 
Eru, ven berio uin Gûr! 
Eru, ven berio uin Gûr! 


Back translation 

Night in rest, holy night, 
All are sleeping, lonesome watching 
The holy parents and the holy-live babychild, 
That came to us to our world. 
Child of God, sleep now well! 
Child of God, sleep now well! 

Night in rest, holy night, 
Gardians are listening to His good news 
From the joyful song sung from up high, 
The heavenly hosts glorify God in the heights, 
O Lord, save us from Death! 
O Lord, save us from Death!
