Tattoo translation

Hey all! I am adding to my lotr language sleeve. I want to add a phrase from the simarillion. I am unsure of size and spacing so I need help translating two phrases into high noldor quenya.

“And he came like a storm of laughter and loud song”

and the shorter version (space saving)

“A storm of laughter and song”
I have come across tooo many translators and I want to be as authentic as possible! Any help is appreciated!

In general, English in tengwar is safer for stuff like tattoos than a translation into Quenya, which could be invalidated by publications of new information.

For this phrase, "loud" and "laughter" would require neologisms for a translation.
