Sindarian

rithannen i geven
thangen i harn
na fennas i daur
ol dûr ristannen
Eryn echuiannen
i ngelaidh dagrar
ristar thyn, cúa tawar
Dambedir enyd i ganed
Si linna i waew trin ylf
Isto i dur i chuiyl
i ngelaidh dagrar

English

Earth shakes,
Stone breaks
The forest is at your door
The dark sleep is broken
The woods have awoken
The trees have gone to war
Roots rend, wood bends
The Ents have answered the call
Through branches now the wind sings
Feel the power of living things
The trees have gone to war

Music by Howard Shore, lyrics by Phillipa Boyens based on Tolkien's text.

Vocals feature Elizabeth Fraser & Ben Del Maestro

The Return of the King

Hobbit Drinking Song: the "Edoras Table version"

Oh you can search far and wide
You can drink the whole town dry,
But you'll never find a beer so brown,
As the one we drink in our home town...
You can keep your fancy ales,
You can drink them by the flagon,
But the only brew for the brave and true
Comes from the Green Dragon!

performed by Billy Boyd and Dominic Monaghan.

Revaíl vyrn dan mínuíal
ú galad, ú vín anor hen
Cano an dregad ú natha ored
Gwanwen ost in giliath

Black wings against a pale morning
There is no more light, not in this sun
Call the retreat
There will be no warning
The citadel of the stars is gone
Osgiliath is fallen

He has the last of my heart. / I will go with him to the end.
