The Fall Of Gil-Galad

A Queda de Gil-Galad

The Fall Of Gil-Galad

Gil-galad era um rei elfo.
Gil-galad was an Elven-king.
Sobre ele os harpistas cantam tristemente:
Of him the harpers sadly sing:
O último cujo reino era justo e livre
the last whose realm was fair and free
Entre as montanhas e o mar.
between the Mountains and the Sea.

Sua espada era longa, sua lança era afiada,
His sword was long, his lance was keen,
Seu elmo brilhante era visto ao longe;
his shining helm afar was seen;
As incontáveis estrelas no campo do céu
the countless stars of heaven's field
Eram refletidas em seu escudo de prata.
were mirrored in his silver shield.

Mas há muito tempo, ele afastou-se,
But long ago he rode away,
E onde ele habita ninguém pode dizer;
and where he dwelleth none can say;
Pois na escuridão caiu a sua estrela
for into darkness fell his star
Em mordor onde as sombras estão.
in Mordor where the shadows are.
