Estelarion pulled out an ornately decorated silver flute, smiling. Menelduliniel looked at him waiting to see if he would take it out. Estelarion stood up and put out his hand for Menelduliniel to take, and helped her stand. She cleared her throat briefly, then they started...
Cartel carad, cartel-e-aglar'ni, cartel-e-nwalma e ilya riamin!
Telio a' amin, re'na lindon i'min yaara:
I'Teleri dagron yassen i'earsira-e-gorga;
I'Istar, mith, e seorsa, elee nostale,
I'Istar istant vanimho, tyelant i'huine;
Ar' nwalmalle, mankee ilin, iant sii'
Yassen tellen celeb no' i'gaear
Ron lindon lindelsen taurn ar' ereb.
Telio, amin elen n'yassen elen i'umbar tel' Eldalie,
Amin utun nu i'ylwai e mela ar' n'mela,
E' ilya net' n'alya ar' n'noldo coin re,
Vanim oira ranon no' mallehe.
Menelduliniel sang only half of the song, but stopped, since she did not know how people liked the song, or whether she should finish it. The song was also so long...if they wanted the other half...if they knew it and liked it...they'd tell her...
