Not really sure if this is the right place for this but

I’d really appreciate some help with this bit of script here. I wrote or found it a couple of years back when I was fairly deep into trying to learn some elvish. But I can’t remember what the heck it is. So I was hoping that someone here might recognize it from somewhere or be able to make something out it.

AI! laurië lantar lassi súrinen, Yéni únótimë ve rámar aldaron! Yéni ve lintë yuldar avánier mi oromardi lisse-miruvóreva Andúnë pella, Vardo tellumar un luini yassen tintilar i eleni ómaryo airetári-lírinen. Sí man i yulma nin enquantuva? Au sí Tintallë Varda Oiolossëo ve fanyar máryat Elentári ortanë ar Lille tier undulávë

Thanks

It's part of the song that Galadriel sings as the boats bear the Fellowship away from Lorien. The whole song and translation are in FotR, Farewell to Lorien.

Here's a link to the entire verse, with an interlinear translation:

Namárië - Galadriel's Lament
