Malta Moreyë - mystic elven song with Quenya lyrics
This is a calm elven piece for November using photos from last year.
The lyrics are written in Quenya, a constructed language by . Tolkien. The costumes are inspired by the Lord of the Rings movies. The white signs are not Tengwar however, but Sarati - an older writing system in arda. I think, they were forsaken when the Tengwar were invented and turned out to be much more practical for the languages in use.
An English translation of the lyrics:
Gold and Night,
Fire and Sky,
in stormless wind*,
they all came
to peace, to peace
after their terrifying dance.
Gold and Night,
Fire and Sky
made jewels
through a dance.
*súlë in Quenya is not just “wind“ as moved air but rather something like a metaphor for the influence of a spirit on the world.
Comment if you would like to see future elvish lyrics in tengwar (quenya mode) instead of a transcription in latin letters!
The photos were taken and edited by Eldalagre
