A Elbereth Fille-fleur, Elfe! Sylv’ Eden frondaison ciel!
version en français, texte: Pierre Gief, adaptation: J.C. Rosaz
Opalin’ orpaillée d’or et de miel!
Chant des âmes charmées, irréelle!
O galante fée infante des étoiles
Fanuilos, au psaltérion
Acclame, déclame ton nom!
Tous acclament, déclament ton nom!
Terre Mère Eclair! Terre, Mère, clair air, éther!
Perle, clair de lune.
Etincelle aux pierres des runes.
Mordorées sous les fronts, sous les frondes, forêts dorées
O Fondcombe
Claire Etincelle perlée de lune.
Clame Tout l’éclat voile étoile!
Tout le calme sous ton voile, sous la palme en ton sein, femme!
Gondor! Gondor! Sur les monts sonne la Mer!
Le cor d’or d’Aragorn résonne pour Elbereth
fort encore la maison d’Anarion
Chantent sa gloire, sa lumière d’or pâle
Tout bénit son étoile, son nom!
Orbe et courbe est l’océan,
Orangé à l’orée d’or Au jour d’aurore!
O Gondor, Gondor!
Son éclat orne encore l’Arbre d’Argent,
O Elbereth advienne la nuit encore
Vienne la nuit encore
Corps céleste, trésor d’Armor!
A Elbereth Fille-fleur, Elfe! Sylv’ Eden frondaison ciel!
Si belle!
—
To Elbereth Flower-girl, Elf! Sylv’ Eden foliage sky!
Opaline’ gold-plated with gold and honey!
Song of charmed souls, unreal!
O gallant fairy infant of the stars
Fanuilos, at the psaltery
Acclaim, declaim your name!
All acclaim, declaim your name!
Mother Earth Lightning! Earth, Mother, clear air, ether!
Pearl, moonlight.
Sparkle on the stones of the runes.
Bronzed under the brows, under the fronds, golden forests
O Rivendell
Clear Spark pearled with moonlight.
Clam All the brilliance veil star!
All the calm under your veil, under the palm in your breast, woman!
Gondor! Gondor! On the mountains rings the Sea!
Aragorn’s golden horn sounds for Elbereth
loud still the house of Anarion
Sing its glory, its pale golden light
All bless its star, its name!
Orb and curve is the ocean,
Orange at the golden edge On the day of dawn!
O Gondor, Gondor!
Its brightness still adorns the Silver Tree,
O Elbereth come the night again
Come the night again
Heavenly body, treasure of Armor!
To Elbereth Flower-maiden, Elf! Sylv’ Eden foliage sky!
So beautiful!
