G-i-P Report | Hugo Weaving’s Quenya rap

On the TV program The Late Show with Stephen Colbert we could recently see this fantastic music video, commemorating the 20th anniversary of the movie trilogy The Lord of the Rings. Have you ever wondered what the rap text by Hugo Weaving (the movie Elrond) looks like in Quenya?

Together with Maciej Garbowski („Arael”) we tried to recreate this text. Here is our suggestion (for exact meaning of Quenya words see here – Parf Edhellen):

Tolkien was so brilliant
Tolkien ane ingolmo

that he created new languages.
i (ya) autanése sinye lambar.

Do other trilogies
Haryar exe nelde-nyarnar

have fully formed languages?
aquacanta lambar? [shouldn’t be aquacantë lamber/lambi?]

Blade? No.
Blade? Ui.

Beverly Hills Cop? Ah ah.
Mahtar Beverly Amboreva?

The Da Vinci Code?
I Da Vinci Sarati?

Dan Brown barely speaks English.
Dan Brown queta véra lamba ve „wehide” [we don’t know how to interpret this – help us]

Yeah! I said this.
Yé! Equen si.

Our Christmas gift – The Shire Calendar 2017!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

shirecalendar2017bAs this year’s Christmas gift we present our Shire Calendar for 2017 (1394 S.R.) in which the Gregorian dates are translated into the dates of the Shire Reckoning according to the Reform of Our Calendar which is based upon Tolkien’s calculations published in Ch. Scull’s and W. G. Hammond’s A Reader’s Companion, p.p. xlv-l (note that our 25 December is the equivalent of 2 Yule or New Year’s Day like it was in the Catholic reckoning in mediaeval England). Our calendar’s order is borrowed from the publication of Steve Pillinger from 1981 to 1982 about which you can read on Tolkien Gateway.

The Calendar with two illustrations presenting artists’ vision of Lúthien Tinúviel (one by Tom Loback and the other by Ryszard „Galadhorn” Derdziński) can be downloaded in the PDF format. Note the use of the Elvish letters and numerals (in the decimal system) according to Tengwar mode for Westron (English). Key for the numbers can be found below.

This Calendar is a small tribute to our great Friend and artistic master, Tom Loback (1949-2015).

G-i-P Report:
Aldudénië by Roberta Malerba (Silmë),
lyrics by Roberto Fontana (Túrin)

Od maja tego roku na YouTube znaleźć możemy niezwykły teledysk do quenejskiej pieśni Aldudénië. Pieśń śpiewa niejaka Silmë. Kim jest? Według opisu podanego w serwisie, nie ma ona wieku, a imię jej oznacza ‚Blask Gwiazd’.

Elfy cieszą się spotkaniem przy ogniu. Słuchają dawnych opowieści. Podczas jednego z takich spotkań Silmë, jedna z Maiarów, opowiada im historię Dwóch Uświęconych Drzew. Opisuje je jako dwie cudowne rośliny i pokazuje Elfom dwa ostatnie istniejące liście – jeden złocisty i drugi srebrzysty. Silmë widziała Dwa Drzewa na własne oczy. Wie, że nazywały się Laurelin i Telperion, że oświetlały one część świata Ardy. Dwa Drzewa świeciły mistycznym blaskiem i były najlepszym z dzieł Yavanny – Mocy Przyrody.

Gdy Silmë śpiewa o Dwóch Drzewach, Elfy przypominają, że oba zginęły za sprawą Melcora, Mrocznego Władcy. Silmë zaś wspomina, że mimo tego nieszczęścia Yavanna i Nienna uratowały część tego światła wzbudzając umierające rośliny do ostatniego wydania z siebie złocistego owocu i srebrzystego kwiatu. Kwiat stał się Księżycem, a owoc Słońcem, którego pierwszy wschód wyznaczył chwilę przebudzenia pierwszych Ludzi. Od tamtej chwili Arda oświetlana jest blaskiem Słońca i Księżyca (…)

Gdy Silmë snuje swoją opowieść, wszystko zapisuje w języku quenya Elemmírë…

Specjalnie dla Was zdobyliśmy tekst pieśni w języku quenya. Przełożył ją na mowę Elfów Wysokich włoski lingwista tolkienowski, Roberto Fontana (w teledysku widzimy go odgrywającego rolę Elemmírë). W ciekawy sposób zinterpretowali ten tekst muzycy: Roberta Malerba (pierwszy wokal) oraz towarzyszący jej: Miriam Gallea, Cecilia Lasagno, Emily Marangon, Marta Tognelli. Quenya bardzo pięknie brzmi w ustach użytkowników języka włoskiego. Włoski jest językiem o wielu elfickich głoskach i o odpowiedniej melodyce. A teraz Wy możecie zaśpiewać pieśń razem z Silmë i Elfami!

I cala et aldu oiale lauva
lumna i mornie aistana Aman
cotumo móre Laurelin harnane
Yelwa i sangwa Telperion nahtane

Nyénar i Valar, nainar i Eldar
I nyelli lamyar qualmo lamnar
A telpina pirya vistina elennar
Tainen i carne menello calmar!

Cena lauvanye laurea alcar
Ya ilya rya varyane i quile

Ar Valain áne i aire alasse

Tulcanen rimne, yo yavi urúve

Ar morne imbi nyéri leperi racar
Ea Ardo rindissen er alcaratta

Nienno i níri sirar olla i talam,

Lúthien Tinúviel by Tom Loback (2014)

tom_susan3

In July 2014 before my travel to Norway Tom Loback (1949-2015; see all Elendilion’s articles on Tom Loback) asked me to translate something into Sindarin for his new artwork (he also wrote: „Have fun in Norway – don’t fall in a fjord”). We never completed this task together. I sent the translation and the transcription to Tom, but there was no time to put it all together. Tom left the circles of this world on March 5, 2015 (see Tom Loback – In memoriam).

Nai Eru se mánata!

Now, in cooperation with Tom’s wife, Susan Ryan, I present Tom Loback’s last artwork Lúthien Tinúviel (2014) with a Sindarin text chosen by Tom and with the Tengwar transcription. In my opinion Lúthien resembles here Tom’s partner and wife, Susan – his beloved Lúthien.

The text accompanied to this splendid artwork reads as follows.

This is the artwork by Tom Loback with a fragment of Tolkien’s The Lay of Leithian, Canto VII, verses 205-206 translated into Sindarin and transcribed with the Elvish letters called the Tengwar by Ryszard Derdziński. Tolkien’s text reads as follows:

recalling Lúthien dancing fair,
with wild white roses in her hair

It has been translated into Sindarin and rendered in the Elvish script (‚Mode of Beleriand’) by Ryszard Derdziński (Galadhorn).

renel Lúthien lilthol vain
na-viril rhaw lyss vi fîn dîn

luthien_loback

Version with the Sindarin inscription

Wykład prof. Verlyn Flieger (TEDxUMD)
„Postaci wyobrażone – doświadczenie realne”

Przez czterdzieści lat ukazywała swoim studentom wartość książek Tolkiena. Dziś zaprasza swoich słuchaczy do Śródziemia, aby zastanowić się nad ludzką kondycją. Jednocześnie zachęca nas, żebyśmy umieli rozpoznać w sobie naszych wewnętrznych Frodów i Gollumów. [Skrót wykładu znajdziecie pod filmem.]

Pani Verlyn Flieger jest emerytowanym profesorem języka angielskiego na Uniwersytecie Maryland, w College Park. Specjalizuje się w komparatywnym badaniu mitologii oraz w zgłębianiu literatury Tolkiena. Jest autorką wybitnych książek opisujących literacki fenomen Profesora (które niestety nie ukazały się jeszcze po polsku! Apel do polskich wydawnictw, żeby tę zaległość koniecznie nadrobić!). Szczególnie znana książka to Splintered Light: Logos and Language in Tolkien’s World ale warto też przeczytać Interrupted Music. The Making of Tolkien’s Mythology oraz A Question of Time: J.R.R. Tolkien’s Road to Faërie. Flieger była też współredaktorką wybitnej pracy zbiorowej pt. Tolkien’s Legendarium: Essays on the History of Middle-earth. Polscy tolkieniści mogą też kojarzyć panią profesor jako jedną z komentatorek biografii Tolkiena w filmach o naszym ulubionym autorze.

Rozwiązanie skrótu TED to Technology, Entertainment, Design. TED to ogólnoświatowy zespół konferencji organizowanych przez Sapling Foundation pod hasłem: „Idee Warte Rozpowszechnienia” (ang. „Ideas Worth Spreading”). Początki tego projektu to lata 80. XX w. Samo TEDx to program lokalnych, organizowanych samodzielnie wydarzeń, które skupiają ludzi o podobnych zainteresowaniach. Zapraszamy Was do wysłuchania wykładu prof. Flieger, który nosi tytuł „Postaci wyobrażone – doświadczenie realne”. Wykład jest po angielsku (YouTube pozwala nam włączyć intuicyjne podpisy w angielskim), trwa ok. 20 min. i jego skrót prezentujemy po polsku pod oknem filmu.

Pani profesor opowiada o małym człowieczku, na którego spadła wielka odpowiedzialność. Przyjął na swoje barki zadanie, które okazało się za duże na jego siły. I ostatecznie zawiódł. Jednak zadanie zostało wykonane, jakby przez przypadek, a on wrócił do domu smutniejszy, ale też mądrzejszy. Oto fabuła Władcy Pierścieni J.R.R. Tolkiena. Oto historia Froda Bagginsa i jego tysiącstokilometrowej wędrówki do Mordoru, gdzie ma zniszczyć Pierścień. Oto historia jego niepowodzenia.

The Ancalagon Triptych by Tom Loback
(Quenya translation by Ryszard Derdzinski)

About The Fëanor Triptych read here.
G-i-P’s gallery of Tom Loback can be seen here.

From Tom Loback’s Facebook: «Over the past year or so I have been fortunate that a number of collectors have been purchasing my illustrations. Many of these were work I did back in the 1980s for a number of book proposals that didn’t come to fruition and for the extensive Tolkien fan community publications like Parma Eldalamberon, Vinyar Tengwar, Mythlore, Beyond Bree and others. I had produced and sold others in black and white or hand-colored limited edition prints presented as pages from Illuminated Elven Manuscripts or scrolls with texts written in Elvish. They were quite popular and the idea was widely imitated. I also have now had the great good fortune to be commissioned to do some new works. They were conceived and realized as sets of triptychs depicting scenes from J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Silmarillion and other works.»

We have presented Tom Loback’s first triptych, The Fëanor Triptych here. The second triptych, The Ancalgon Triptych, features the final Great Battle of The War of Wrath that ends the First Age of Middle-earth, where the winged Dragons, led by the greatest of all Dragons – Ancalagon the Black – make their first appearance in Tolkien’s legendarium. Concept and art is by Tom Loback. The Quenya and Sindarin translation is by Ryszard „Galadhorn” Derdziński. We present the artwork in the following order:
____________________________________

1. This illustration is the central panel of The Ancalagon Triptych and depicts the assault of Morgoth’s fleet of winged Dragons, led by Ancalagon the Black, against the Host of Valinor captained by Eönwë, the Herald of Manwë. The Dragons are released from the fortress of Angband and the surprise and force of their attack drives the Elves and Maiar of the Host of the West back. The two columns of Elvish Quenya texts below (transated by Ryszard „Galadhorn” Derdzinski) describe the three illuminations of the Triptich. Additionally, as often seen in illuminated manuscripts, there are some comments in the margins by later writers. One of comments is from Bilbo Baggins whose non-anglicized name in the lingua franca of Middle-earth, Westron, is Bilba Labinga.

 

A. Then the Hosts of the Throne of Hate were overthrown in the battle of Dagor Delorthin and Eönwë, captain of the Host of the Valar, besieged Angband straitly. Then Morgoth made a last sally and all his Dragons were about him. Out of the Gates of Angband he loosed upon his foes a last desperate assault, the winged Dragons that had not before been seen. And so sudden and ruinous was the onset of that dreadful fleet, as a tempest of a hundred thunders winged with steel, that the Host of Valinor was beaten back on Dor-na-Fauglith by lightning and a storm of fire. And not any of the Host of the West, be he Ingwion, Captain of the Vanyar or Finarfin, King of the Noldor, or Eönwë, Chief of the Maiar, might withstand Ancalagon the Black, mightiest of the Dragon horde.

Tá i Hostar Tévie-mahalmava né ataltanë mí Ohta Rúsëo ar Eönwë, i hesto Hosto Valaron, hamosartanë Angamando. Tá Moringotto carnë telda rinca ar ilya Lóceryar ner as esse. Et Andor Angamando lehtanes nalantarya telda estelenca nottoryannar, i ramalóci yar nó úquen sintë cenë. Ar san atalantëa alcayë i rinca naira-liyúmëo ve húro húmi hundieron anga-rámainen, sa i Hosta Valinóreva né nanquernë tenna Dor-nu-Fauglith nár-raumonen. Ar úquen Hostallo Númenwa, la Ingwion, i hesto Vanyaron, la Arafinwë, i Aran Noldoron, la Eönwë, i Aracáno Maiaron, pollë tercolë Ancalacon Morna, ammelehta Lóke-hormo.

B. Now came Eärendil, with the Silamaril on his brow, shining with white flame, in his ship Vingilot that had been hallowed by the Valar and lifted up into the oceans of Heaven, as the star of hope, Gil-estel. And came also a myriad of the all great birds of heaven and the Eagles and led by their captain, Thorondor, King of the Eagles. And there was battle in the air through a dark night of doubt. And before the rising of the sun Eärendil slew Ancalagon and cast him from the sky. And the greatest of all Dragons fell upon the Towers of Thangorodrim, and they were broken in his ruin and bursting fire. Then the Host of the Valinor prevailed and well nigh all the Dragons were destroyed and Angband was unroofed and its pits opened and a multitude of thralls were released.

Si túlë Eärendil as Silmarillë timbareryassë, niquitala telemnarnen, mi Vingilótë ciryaryassë ya ainaina Valainen ar ortaina mir earonna Menelo ve Elen-estel. Ar túlë ta húmi wilindi menelo ar Sorni tulyaina hestonen, Sorontar. Ar i ohta engë wilyassë ter i lómë maquettaron. Ar epe anarórë Eärendil mahtanë Ancalacon ar se unduhantes menello. Ar i ampoldë ilyë Lócion lantaner Thangorodrimo Mindonnar, ar ner rácina atalanteryassë ar mi ruvala nárë. Tá i Hosta Valinóreva orturnë ar epe ilyë Lóci nancarina ar Angamando avatupina ar lattaryar latyaina ar unótimë móli leryaina.

The Fëanor Triptych by Tom Loback
(Quenya translation by Ryszard Derdzinski)

G-i-P’s gallery of Tom Loback can be seen here.

„Over the past year or so I have been fortunate that a number of collectors have been purchasing my illustrations. Many of these were work I did back in the 1980s for a number of book proposals that didn’t come to fruition and for the extensive Tolkien fan community publications like Parma Eldalamberon, Vinyar Tengwar, Mythlore, Beyond Bree and others.

 

I had produced and sold others in black and white or hand-colored limited edition prints presented as pages from Illuminated Elven Manuscripts or scrolls with texts written in Elvish. They were quite popular and the idea was widely imitated. I also have now had the great good fortune to be commissioned to do some new works. They were conceived and realized as sets of triptychs depicting scenes from J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Silmarillion and other works.

The first triptych, the Fëanor Triptych, of three illustrations concerned the conception, inception and hallowing of the three great Jewels, the Silmarils, created by the Noldorin Elf Fëanor, greatest of all Jewel-smiths from the light of the Two Trees that lit the world.

I had the the expert help of Ryszard Viajante Derdzinski in translating passages into the elvish language of Quenya.” For these who are interested in Quenya we present the English and Elvish text which can be seen in the Tengwar transcription on each part of the Fëanor Triptych:

1. The Eldar said that the light of the Two Trees, Laurelin and Telperion, had been snared in the tresses of Galadriel for it was golden like the hair of her father, Finarfin, and was touched by the starlike silver hair of, Eärwen, her mother. Many thought that this saying first gave to Fëanor the idea of imprisoning and blending the light of the Trees that later took shape in his hands as the Silmarils. For Fëanor beheld the hair of Galadriel with wonder and delight. He begged three times for a tress, but Galadriel would not give him even one hair. These two kinsfolk, the greatest of the Eldar of Valinor, were unfriends forever.

Quetir i Eldar sa Alduo cálë, i cálë Laurelin ar Telperiono, raina findessen Altarielva an sa laurëa ve findessë atarya, Arafinwéva, ar sa appaina elvëa silma findessenen Eärwen, amiliryava. Limbi sinter sa equessë sina antanë setya Fëanáron i inca an remban ar ostien Alduo cálë sa ento né canta Silmarilli maryanta. An Fëanáro cennë Altarielva findessë as elmenda ar larma. Se arcanes nel an erya findë mal Altariellë úne antas erya finë. Min nossëo, antaurië imbi Eldar Valinórëo, te ner únildor oialë.

2. Fëanor, being come to his full might, was filled with a new thought and he pondered how the light of the Trees might be preserved unperishable. Then he began a long and secret labor, and he summoned all his lore, and all his power, and all his subtle skill, for he purposed to make things more fair than any of the Eldar had yet made, that should last beyond the end of all. And the inner fire Fëanor made of the blended light of the trees of Valinor. Of their own radiance even in the dark they shone as were they indeed living things and they rejoiced in light and gave it back in hues more marvellous than before. And the heart of Fëanor was fast bound in these things he himself had made.

Fëanáro quanta-túreryassë né quantaina vinya incanen ar sannë manen hapë ilfirin i cálë Alduo. Tá yestanes i tarassë anda ar muina. Hostanes ilya handerya, ar ilya túrerya, ar ilya varda cururya an selyanes carita i tanwi vanimë lá i exë cárina Eldainen i vórië pell’ Ambar-metta. Ar Fëanáro carnë i minnanár ostimanen cáleva Alduo Valinóreva. Ñaltantanen míri sinë sillë morniessë sívë e coirië nati, ar alassenta cálessë ar te enantaner i cálë cuilínen írimë lá yá. Ar indo Fëanárova né larcavë lanwa as sinë nati i insë carnë.

3. As three great jewels they were in form, like the crystal of diamonds yet more strong than adamant, so that no violence could mar or break it within the Kingdom of Arda. Yet that crystal was to the Silmarils as is the body to the Children of Illúvatar: the house of its inner fire, that is within it and yet in all parts of it, and is its life. But not until the end, until the Sun passes and the Moon falls, shall it be known of what substance they were made. And Varda hallowed the Silmarils so that no mortal flesh, nor anything of evil will might touch them, but it was scorched and withered. And Mandos foretold that the fate of Arda was locked within them.

Ve míri neldë te náner cantantassë, ve maril nammírion mal tulca lá exë míri. Ar Ardassë úner polë hastatas hya hyanetas. Ananta i maril engë Silmarillin ve hröa Eruhinin: i cöa mirnaréva, fëava i ëa mir sassë ar ilya rantassë sava, ar ëa coivierya. Mal tenna i metta, tenna Anar Isilye vanwë ar atalantë úner istuva i hrón yo míri sinë cárina nar. Tá Varda ainanë i Silmarilli sië úquen firimonna hya únat ulcullo polë appa te, mal se nánë ustaina ar hessa. Ar Mandos apaquentë i umbar Ardo yonda Silmarillessen.
