Lúmëa lissë, undómë taina,
silmë laita, i aira lúmë,
neldë súrë, lírë mírë,
elenna lírë, serë nárë.
Mára ambar, vinya yána,
sílanë elen, sílanë órë,
naur i aiwë, lissë lómi,
nai laurëa, nai mára.
Nahta lassë, lirë sirya,
lúmë elda, sí ar lúmë,
mórenya quetë, alta vanwa,
na mátë, na serë.
Sílanë elen, lissë yéni,
nai calma, nai sérë.
The idea#
Quenya—or something wearing its music—spills like soft metal: Lúmëa lissë, sweet time, twilight blessed, starlight praised. Birds of fire, golden wishes, leaves and flowing song, the long years of the elves condensed into nocturnal electronica.
I will not pretend to parse every stem as a philologist might. What comes through is atmosphere: calm ambar, shining stars, rest and flame braided, a wish for light and peace—nai calma, nai sérë. Atmospheric, nocturnal electronics as if Middle-earth’s evening had learned synthesis.
Perhaps meaning is meant to arrive as sound-color first: a constructed tongue used as incense rather than argument.
