The Fall Of Gill-Galad
Gil-galad was an Elven-king.
Of him the harpers sing:
the last whose realm was fair and free
between the Mountains and the Sea.
His sword was long, his lance was keen,
his shining helm was seen;
the countless stars of heaven's field
were mirrored in his shield.
But long ago he rode away,
and where he dwell none can say;
for into darkness fell his star
in Mordor where shadows are.
A Queda de Gil-galad
Gil-galad era um rei élfico.
Sobre ele os bardos cantam:
a última cuja terra era bela e livre
entre as Montanhas e o Mar.
Sua espada era longa, sua lança afiada,
o seu elmo brilhante era visto;
as incontáveis estrelas do céu
se refletiam em seu escudo.
Mas há muito tempo ele partiu,
e onde ele mora ninguém pode dizer;
porque em trevas caiu sua estrela
em Mordor, onde as sombras estão.
