I have been studying Quenya (one of the elven languadges created by Tolkein, autor of "the lord of the rings") fore some time, and translated one of the most beautiful poems of the lord of the rings: Bilbo's words on the Dúnadan (Aragorn).
In english the poem goes like this:

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be the blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

And now my quenya version (I don't know how many times it has been translated):

Laure lá eresse i mirilyas ná
Lá ilyë i rantë nar vanwë
I enwina i ná tulca hestas lá
Húre talmanner urahtas ringwë
Lithellor coivuvas i narë
Moriesse tinwë tuiuvas
Envinianta nuvas i hiyanda avacië
Ata aran i urina nuvas

OK, now here's the reason I've posted this stuff: I'm not real sure of how correct my translation is, and would really like if someone (who obviously has also studied such language) could help me correct it... the order of the words isn't the same than in enlish, so if you need a literal translation I'll post that too...
Just hope to find some interest in this...

Thanks in advance
