Ungwe

Notes

The spider sure a home can weave,
so cozy you would never leave.
To flying guests it's so polite,
says: Come in, and we'll have a bite.

(Note: Yeah the final quenya line is not great, duplicate rhyme.)

A translation into Dutch: (WEB)

Dit web wordt graag getoond
door de spin die er woont;
zeer gastvij laat hij weten:
Kom, vlieg, blijf voor 't eten!

This web is shown, with pleasure,
by the spider that resides there;
very hospitably, he lets you know:
Come, fly, stay for dinner!

Ránatar/Maivandion on VL provided a translation into Russian: (ПАУТИНА)

Паутина - дом паучий,
Дом уютный, будет случай -
Прилетайте, размещу,
С мушками болтать хочу.

The web is a spider house,
The house is cozy, if there will be a case -
Come fly, I will harbor,
I want to chat with flies.
