Au tataara Telumello
Luunelipten lantaneere,
Pen i·väiäli perella
Sinkvipindon sillieere.
Tinwelin tinkveetan kvildo,
Sil lombeero lumbölissen:
Varkva nällä vanesseldo
Yä kveljeere veälissen.
From the high heaven
A blue drop fell down,
Piercing through the skies
It shone like a little jewel.
The stars melted silently
And the Moon hid within the clouds:
They were afraid of this beauty
Which perished in the seas.
The Finnish-like transcription of the text is made according to one of the Oilima Markirya versions (OM1e, PE16:72), even though it makes no sense whatsoever.
Also check out the Valmaric inscription (Valmaric was the Qenya script of the 20s, predecessor of the Tengwar).
