that the seas should gush into the chasm

Anadûnê zîrân hikalba

Númenor the beloved she fell (down)

winds (were) black

balîk hazad an-Nimruzîr azûlada

Seven ships of Elendil (went) eastward

agannâlô burôda nênud

The death-shadow (is) heavy on us

zâira nênud

longing (is) on us

adûn izindi batân tâidô ayadda

now all ways (are) bent

êphalak îdô Yôzâyan
