Rhûn is a song composed by Bear McCreary for the second episode of the second season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. It features lyrics sung in Rhûnnic by The Mystery of the Bulgarian Voices. According to Bear McCreary, the language the lyrics were sung in was crafted from some of J.R.R. Tolkien's unpublished notes which some Tolkien scholars had unearthed.[1]
Lyrics
Fú nimžil, nimžil-feg,
aibesjar balan taugun.
Dunšig Lún,
ligrám lihiš bódi aišäd bil.
Dyúl hez ní, feč Šigór.
þabul nädo naþa-feg je.
dyúl gileg anže þurfeg jai.
Dyúl hez ní, feč Šigór.
gorul arkädfeg go,
þur če žilid-feg bil.
I Raib-aišäd.
Translation
The Rhûnnic text above along with its following translation were published by Amazon's composer Bear McCreary on his personal website[2].
Under moonlight, moonlight thine,
Our sister carried far.
Dark Magic,
White wings beat in sacred shrine.
Command her, thou Istar.
Grant flesh to thy servant.
Bring her forth with your might.
Command her, thou Istar.
Rise from thy throne,
In thy power and splendor.
The border shrine.
