Lament of Gandalf - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I bought the FOTR soundtrack for my sister for Christmas. Included was the lyrics for the lament of Gandalf, when the elves of Lothlorien sing for Gandalf. In the book, Legolas is asked to translate the words, but won't, becuase his grief is too great. And Peter Jackson presumes to translate where Legolas would not. I guess I'm weird to let that bother me. How about you?
