I lindë Onyato
'The Song of the Ent-pair' translated by Michal Kossowski (Beren Mablost)
Our Polish friend, Beren Mablost, has translated The Ent and the Ent-wife song (The Two Towers, p. 81-2) into Quenya. It was first published at the Elendili Forum.
I lindë Onyato:
Onya:
Írë tuilë panta neldorya lassë,
Ar sára ná olbassë;
Íre cala ná taurëa celumenna,
Ar súrë hencúnenna;
Íre vanta anda ar súya núra,
Ar laica orontya vista;
Attulat ninna!
Attulat ninna ar á queta nórenya ná vanya!
Onyavessë:
Íre tuilë tula lotarwanna ar pelerenna,
Ar erdë cemenesse;
Íre olotsenen ve sisílala lossë,
Altarwa topina;
Íre tuilëa rossë ar Anar,
Quatar vista nísienen;
Nortuvanyë sinomë ar lá tuluvan
An nórenya ná vanya!
Onya:
Íre lairë caitanë Ambarenna,
Ar aurendessë laureo;
Undu tópa lassion fúmala,
Olori aldaron locta;
Íre tavaso mardi nar,
Laiquë ar ringë ar súrë Númello,
Attulat ninna!
Attulat ninna ar á queta nórenya ná ammára!
Íre lairë lauta lingala yávë,
Ar usta varnë piucca;
Íre sara ná laurëa ar tinderdë ná ninquë,
Ar yávië tula opelenna;
Íre lis lutta, ar marin tiuya,
As súrë Númello;
Nortuvanyë sinomë undu Anar,
An nórenya ná ammára!
Onya:
Íre hrívë tuluva,
Hrívë verca, i ambo ar taure nehtuvar;
Íre aldar lantuvar,
Ar alelenëa lómë matuva alanarëa aurë;
Íre súrë nurua Rómello,
San undu sára rossë;
Yétuvan elyë, ar yámuvan elyë,
Attuluvan elyenna!
Íre hrívë tuluva,
Ar lindalë tyeluva;
Íre mornië lantuva mettassë,
Íre rácina alayávala olba,
Ar cala ar móta autuva;
Yétuvan elyë,
Ar lartuvan elyenna,
Tenna omentuvalwë ata:
Yúyo:
ómet vantuva tienen undu sára rossë!
Ómet vantuva tienen i tulya Númenna,
Ar vaháya hiruvalwë nórë yassë yúyo órilwa nai serë.

'the Song of Ents'
1) Onya: Írë tuilë panta neldorya lassë,
Ar sára ná olbassë;
Íre cala ná taurëa celumenna,
Ar súrë hencúnenna;
Íre vanta anda ar súya núra,
Ar laica orontya vista;
Attulat ninna!
Attulat ninna ar á queta nórenya ná vanya!
Ent: When Spring opens beechen leaf,
And juice is branch-in;
When light is wood stream-on,
And wind [is] brow-on;
When walk [is] long and breath deep,
And keen mountain air;
Come back to me!
Come back to me and say my land is fair!
2) Onyavessë: Íre tuilë tula lotarwanna ar pelerenna,
Ar erdë cemenesse;
Íre olotsenen ve sisílala lossë,
Altarwa topina;
Íre tuilëa rossë ar Anar,
Quatar vista nísienen;
Nortuvanyë sinomë ar lá tuluvan
An nórenya ná vanya!
Wife Ent-of: When Spring comes garden-to and field-to,
And seed [is] earth-in;
When blossom like shining snow,
Orchard cover;
When spring rain and Sun,
Fill air fragrance-with;
Stay-I here and not come-will-I
Because land-my is fair!
3) Onya: Íre lairë caitanë Ambarenna,
Ar aurendessë laureo;
Undu tópa lassion fúmala,
Olori aldaron locta;
Íre tavaso mardi nar,
Laiquë ar ringë ar súrë Númello,
Attulat ninna!
Attulat ninna ar á queta nórenya ná ammára!
Ent: When Summer lies world-upon,
And noon-in gold-of;
Beneath roof leaves-of sleeping,
Dreams trees-of blossom;
When woodland halls are,
Green and cool and wind [is] West-in,
Come back to me!
Come back to me and say land-my is best!
4) Onyavessë: Íre lairë lauta lingala yávë,
Ar usta varnë piucca;
Íre sara ná laurëa ar tinderdë ná ninquë,
Ar yávië tula opelenna;
Íre lis lutta, ar marin tiuya,
As súrë Númello;
Nortuvanyë sinomë undu Anar,
An nórenya ná ammára!
Wife Ent-of: When Summer warms hanging fruit,
And burn brown berry;
When straw is gold and ear is white,
And harvest comes village-to;
When honey flow, and apple swells,
With wind West-in;
Stay-I here beneath Sun,
Because land-my is best!
5) Onya: Íre hrívë tuluva,
Hrívë verca, i ambo ar taure nehtuvar;
Íre aldar lantuvar,
Ar alelenëa lómë matuva alanarëa aurë;
Íre súrë nurua Rómello,
San undu sára rossë;
Yétuvan elyë, ar yámuvan elyë,
Attuluvan elyenna!
Ent: When Winter come-will,
Winter wild, that hill and wood slay-will;
When trees fall-will,
And starless night eat-will sunless day;
When wind [is] deadly Wind-in,
Then beneath bitter rain;
Look-will-I [at] you, and call-will-I you,
Again-come-I you-to!
6) Onyavessë: Íre hrívë tuluva,
Ar lindalë tyeluva;
Íre mornië lantuva mettassë,
Íre rácina alayávala olba,
Ar cala ar móta autuva;
Yétuvan elyë,
Ar lartuvan elyenna,
Tenna omentuvalwë ata:
Wife Ent-of: When Winter come-will,
And singing end-will;
When darkness fall-will end-in,
When broken barren branch,
And light and labour past-will;
Look-will-I [at] you,
And wait-will-I you-for,
Until meet-will-we again:
7) Yúyo: ómet vantuva tienen undu sára rossë!
Ómet vantuva tienen i tulya Númenna,
Ar vaháya hiruvalwë nórë yassë yúyo órilwa nai serë.
Both: together-us-two walk-will road-with beneath bitter rain!
Together-us-two walk-will road-with that leads West-into,
And far-away find-will-we land where both hearts-our may rest.
