Tolkien, J.R.R.: Gil-galad bukása (Song of The Fall of Gil-galad in Hungarian)

Gil-galad was an Elven-king.

Of him the harpers sadly 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 afar was seen;

the countless stars of heaven's field

were mirrored in his silver shield.

But long ago he rode away,

and where he dwelleth none can say;

for into darkness fell his star

in Mordor where the shadows are.

Tünde-király volt Gil-galad,

országa széles és szabad

a Tenger és a Hegy között:

de Gil-galad elköltözött.

A, lant még zengi hős nevét,

sisakját, kardját, seregét,

ezüstpajzsát, mely csillogott,

akár a fényes csillagok.

De ennek sok-sok éve már,

elvágtatott a hős király.

A fény kihunyt, nem ünnepel:

Mordor sötétje nyelte el.
