Enya‘s "May It Be"
May it be
an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be
when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh! How far you are from home
Mornië utúlië (Quenya: Darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornië alantië (Quenya: Darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now.
May it be
the shadow's call
Will fly away
May it be
you journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun.
Mornië utúlië (Quenya: Darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornië alantië (Quenya: Darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now
A promise lives within you now.
Elizabeth Frazer’s "Lothlorien"
A Olórin i yaresse… (Olórin who once was…)
Mentaner i Numeherui (Sent by the Lords of the West)
Tírien i Rómenóri… (To guard the Lands of the East…)
Maiaron i Oiosaila, (Wisest of all Maiar,)
Manan elye etevanne (What drove you to leave)
Nórie i malanelye? (That which you loved?)
Ú-reniathach (No more will you wander)
I amar galen (The green fields of this earth)
I reniad lín ne môr, nuithannen (Your journey has ended in darkness.)
In gwidh ristennin, (the bonds are sundered,)
i fae narchannen (the spirit is broken)
I Lach Anor ed ardhon gwennen. (The flame of Anor has left this world.)
Calad veleg, ethuiannen. (A great light, has gone out.)
Choir text:
Melme nóren sina (Our love for this land)
núra ala (Is deeper that the deeps)
Eäro. (of the sea)
Ilfirin nairelma (Our regret is undying)
ullume nucuvalme. (Yet we will cast all away, rather than submit)
Nauva i nauva... (What should be shall be.)
In Dreams
When the cold of Winter comes
Starless night will cover day
In the veiling of the sun
We will walk in bitter rain
But in dreams
I can hear your name.
And in dreams
We will meet again.
When the seas and mountains fall
And we come, to end of days
In the dark I hear a call
Calling me there
I will go there
And back again.
Into the West by Annie Lennox
Lay down, your sweet and weary head
Night is falling you have come to journey's end
Sleep now dream of the one who came before
They are calling from across a distance shore
Why do you weep?
What are these thears upon your face?
Soon you will see all of your fears will pass away
Safe in my arms you're only sleeping
What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
A pall moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home
And all will turn to silver glass a light on the water
All souls pass hope fades
Into the world of night through shadows falling
Out of memory and time
Don't say we have come now to the end
White shores are calling you and I will meet again
And you'll be here in my arms just sleeping
What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
A pall moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home
And all will turn to silver glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the West
