COMMON PHRASES IN SYLVAN




For those of us who find ourselves in Faërie, here are some sentences often (or perhaps not all that often) used. We thought we'd post the correct way to say it in Sylvan, to ease the understanding for our poor tourists. And for the amusement of the rest of us.


Sylvan                            English

Faele Searal                             Good morning

Veli'ir po o siluelves usilu                  It's sunny outside and the rain's stopped

Gav ma siluir?                         Where are you going?

Mirali be elas i me miralkut ba!             Give me the food or I'll kill you!

Me sileir!                                  I'm having fun!

Me u mirili sielvor'var'Vekut.                I don't have a computer.

Fena miralo be minseis!                   He gave me the finger!

SONGS

And here we have some songs which are often sung by the fey, complete with translations. Enjoy.

Salifes var Fae
Silyri y rea, silyri y rea,
y silur, sile o selui.
Silyri silui neal rea, silyri silui neal rea,
mea silu y kutae var silualbe.

The song of Life
Come to us, come to us,
to dancing, fun and song.
Come dance with us, come dance with us,
to dance to end of time.




Salif var Marivuki'ir
Ysili uvonkel! Ysili uvonkel!
Jesilyr y vo o voel, volo silumni!
Ma usilui neal rea! Ma usali neal rea!
Mea marivuki ma saliysuli!

Song of rejection
Go away! Go away!
Return to earth and mud, low animal!
You do not (cannot) dance with us! You do not dance with us!
We reject you forever!
