[AN: This is part of my script for a Silmarillion movie (not that it'd ever be made, but it's still fun to write!) I had to just work out the translation, because I lost my origanal one. Oh, and I think Melkor would have been a little more subtle with what he sang but I really wanted it to contrast. I've written music for this piece (that is to say it has a tune, I can't write it down though!) and the Valar's singing is meant to sound like a part of the music, whereas Melkor's is meant to really be heard. He's practically yelling it.
