Melian. Motinos nuojauta.

Delnais apglobus
Šiltą skaudančią
galvą

Savo gyvastį
sergsti

Ji mato
palinkus
krenta lašas
po akmeniniais skliautais

Dantys
Tie dantys juodi
praris

Neišsergės ji.

Eoviuna išlydi Aragorną

Bandai pasislėpt.
Dar neaušo diena.
Pilko ryto pradžioj
Išlydėt eidama

Nedrįsti atsisveikint.
Kam išeina jisai?
Palinkėk, kad pareitų.
Tai sunkiau, nei manei.

Palinkėk - bet suvirpa
Pasiklydus širdis,
Viltys visos sutirpo:
Kasdienybė - lemtis.

Pabučiuok. Mintyse
Vygėj kardą sūpuok.
Kerštas bus. Už save
Ir dėl jo. Pasiduok.

Ettelie’s lament of loneliness

Are you ready to embrace your future, Ettelie?
Are you ready now to breathe alone?
In stealth you pursue that which is elusive,
In pain you swear to stop now glancing back.
Alone, alone as wind and water,
Alone as eagle soaring in the clouds,
Alone you travel, the forsaken daughter
To lands so queer and hidden from your sight.
Alone, so dreadfully alone!

A ray of sun? A peeping star?
The moon which seems to be so far?
Ettelewen, you are a foreign maid
There are no parents there for you!
No brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts or friends,
You are a lonesome starling, orphan child.
O Ettelie, how lost you are, how silent,
Weary of the whining of your own…
Alone, alone as loneliness itself!

Don’t lose your hope, your wits and strength,
You know that hideous threat subdues your songs.
You still have dream, a golden one
Which came to you when darkness fell.
Now let these hot tears wash your face!
Cry, o homeless child, don’t hesitate –
The stars will hide your grief and moon will bury it,
Oh cry and forward go, uneasy soul!
Alone, alone, in Arda all alone!
