Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

Thilio, thilio dinu nîn,
Iston man i eneth lîn?

Ech, menel-vir, síloch dîn.
Thilio, thilio dinu nîn,
Iston man i eneth lîn?

Literary:

Glitter, glitter, little star of mine,
(How) would I know your name?
Staying up, above our Earth,
You, jewel of heaven, shine silently.
Glitter, glitter, little star of mine,
(How) would I know your name?

Theeleyo theeleyo deenoo nean,
Eastohn mahn ee ehneth lean?
Ah mdhorthol or annohr rahth mean,
Esch maynel-vere sealosch dene.
Theeleyo theeleyo deenoo nean,
Eastohn mahn ee ehneth lean?
