[ The halfling's eagerness truly makes him smile from ear-to-ear. ]
Master Gamegee shall have to ask for an encore performance.
[ Trying best to mimic the delightful tunes of his youth, Aragorn sings this ode to the fairest of all maidens with ever fiber of his being. Unlike that night when he hummed her song, the ranger takes pride now in sharing the tune with another. ]
I nimwaloth i bain a phant,I laiss in end calen nadhras, a egennir galad vin lant. En elin vi uialthiliol.
[ Typically this song was accompanied by the faint notes of an elven harp to keep with the melody. The words spoken at the end seem to "rhyme" a little, each possessing that slight note that give such grace and flair to the elven lyrics. However, at "uialthiliol", Frodo could tell that last bit didn't rhyme but rather act as a transition for the next verse. ]
Tinúviel i lilthas ias, na lind o *simp dholen a brand, A vi finnil dîn glîn ennas A vi chammad dîn míriol.
[ The second verse varies greatly from the first since none of the ending words rhyme. Yet that melody keeps the same pace and gives off the illusion. While Aragorn may lack a bard's tongue, the ranger makes up for his lack of flair with grace. He's a native speaker of this bewitching tongue. Perhaps one of the few Men still alive who could speak Elven so fluently. ]
