Текст песни The Tolkien Ensemble - The Fall of Gil-Galad

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.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Гил-Галад был, — поют о нём, —
Последним славным королём.
Державу эльфов он простёр
От моря до Туманных гор.
И ярче тысячи зеркал
Его разящий меч сверкал,
И на серебряном щите
Мерцали звёзды в темноте.
Но помнят давние года —
Ушла с небес его звезда:
Скатилась и изнемогла
Во тьме, что Мордор облегла.
