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. Łukasz Szkołuda helped us to make the transcription better. Here is our suggestion (for exact meaning of Quenya words see here - Parf Edhellen):
 
Tolkien was so brilliant 
Tolkien nánë ingolmo

that he created new languages.
ar autanessë sinyë lamber

Do other trilogies

Haryar
exë nelde-nyarnar

have fully formed languages?
aquacanta lamber?

Blade? No.

Blade? Ui.

Beverly Hills Cop? Ah ah.
Mahtar Beverly Amboreva? Laumë.

The Da Vinci Code?
I Da Vinci Sarati?

Dan Brown barely speaks English.
Dan Brown quetë véra lambya ve vinë.

Yeah! I said this.
Yé! Equen si.
