Lyric in Sindarin and English:

Orthannen im vi ól
In a dream I was lifted up.

Coll e dû
Borne from the darkness

Or hiriath naur
Above the rivers of fire.

Na rovail mae sui 'waew
On wings soft as the wind.

Man prestant i ardhon?
What's happened to the world?

Cerithar aen illiad dim úthenin?
Is everything sad going to come untrue?

ROTK, Book 6, Chapter 4, The Field of Cormallen

The Eagles rescue Sam and Frodo. Sam awakens in Ithilien to find Gandalf (whom he thought was dead) standing before his bed.

Side by side they lay; and down swept Gwaihir, and down came Landroval and Meneldor the swift; and in a dream, not knowing what fate had befallen them, the wanderers were lifted up and borne far away out of the darkness and the fire.

...

Sam lay back, and stared with open mouth, and for a moment, between bewilderment and great joy, he could not answer. At last he gasped: 'Gandalf! I thought you were dead! But then I thought I was dead myself. Is everything sad going to come untrue? What's happened to the world?'
