I'll just give this a bump.

I'm not a scholar of Elvish by any means, but with the help of a little Google and some Elvish sites, I did what I could.

Quote:
Brennil Vell,

Beloved lady
Quote:
Nin ú-cheniog, but lasto nin.

You do not understand me/you won't understand me ("Nin ú-cheniathog"), listen to me. (there is no 'but' in Elvish)
Quote:
Angin vîr mi gûr nîn.

I shall treasure your gift in my heart. [Should be "Ant gîn vîr mi gûr/'ûr nîn"]
Quote:
N'uir thiad gîn'ell.

Ever is your presence a joy.
Quote:
Ci vellon nîn n'uir.

Forever you are my friend.
Quote:
N'i tôlilû.

Until then. [Should be "N'i tôl i lû"]

Moving this to Imladris (Languages). I hope you might get more attention there. Good luck with getting assistance with the translation. :-)

Thanks for moving this, Eä! I wonder if anyone else can contribute, since I'm not sure if my translation is entirely accurate.
