Did billy Boyd really sing in the Lord of the Rings?

Answer 1

Yes. Viggo Mortensen sang two songs in The Lord of the Rings.

The first was when Aragorn and the hobbits were in the marshes, and Frodo hears Aragorn singing "Luthien's Lay", the story of an elf maiden who loved a mortal man.

Here is the elvish translation, as well as the English:

Tinúviel elvanui

Elleth alfirin edhelhael

O hon ring finnil fuinui

A renc gelebrin thiliol...

Tinúviel [the] elven-fair,

Immortal maiden elven-wise,

About him cast [her] night-dark hair,

And arms [like] silver glimmering...

The second time is at Aragorn's coronation.

Translations:

Et Eärello Endorenna utúlien

Sinome maruvan ar Hildinyar tenn' Ambar-metta

Out of the Great Sea to Middle-earth I am come.

In this place I will abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world.
