Post Famous Song in Sindarin
on: January 27, 2014 04:20
Has anybody already seen this?
I was so surpised to see someone actually did this. "My Heart Will Go On" in Sindarin. They even recorded it, and it sounds really good.

Song: http://www.lambion-ardava.net/Lieder/Gur_nin_abronatha.mp3
Lyrics: http://www.phy.duke.edu/~trenk/elvish/my_heart_s.html

~*You are not wrong, who deem That my days have been a dream; Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream.*~

Wow! That's well done! If her pronunciation is right, I've finally found out the right way to pronounce the elvish 'ch'.

Yep, it sounds like hard C, or K, in English.

Wow, that is gorgeous!
We were one in the same, running like moths to the flame. You'd hang on every word I'd say, but now they only ricochet.

Um, I thought that it sounded like a rough or harsh 'h'.

CH = the ch in Scottish 'loch' or German 'bach'.

lol the problem is, I'm not sure how to pronounce the German 'bach' or Scottish 'loch'. I need a more direct example.

Go down to Occurrences, there's examples in several other languages. Does that help?

Sorry, it didn't help much. I don't know those other languages. Doesn't it sound like a rough or constricted 'h'? That's all I could make out.

Thanks! I'll start working on that.

By the way, I was wondering if the translation for this song is correct or accurate. The dictionary's useless here.
