Autumn of Lothlorien Lyrics

I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold
and leaves of gold there grew
of wind i sang, a wind there came
and in the branches blew
beyond the sun, beyond the moon
the foam was on the sea
and by the strand of ilmarin
there grew a golden tree

O Lorien the winter comes, the bare and lifeless day
the leaves are falling in the stream, the river flows away

Beneath the stars of ever eve
in Eldamar it shone
in Eldamar beside the walls
of elven Tirion
there long the golden leaves have grown upon
the branching years
now here beyond the sundering seas
now fall the elven tears

O Lorien too long have i dwelled upon this hither shore
and in a fading crown have twined the golden elanor

But if of ships i now should sing
what ship would come to me
what ship would bare me ever
back across so wide a sea

ai laurie lantar lassi surinen
yeni unotime ve ramar aldaron
yeni ve linte yuldar avanier
si oromardi lisse miruvoreva
andune pella vardo tellumar
nu luini jassen tintilar i eleni
omario airetari lirinen
Ah like gold fall the leaves in the wind
the long years numberless as the wings of trees
the long years have passed like swift draughts
of the sweet mead in lofty halls beyond the west

O Lorien the winter comes, the bare and lifeless day
the leaves are falling in the stream, the river flows away

Wherein the stars tremble in the song of her voice
holy and queenly
who now shall refill the cup for me
for now the kindler Varda the queen of the stars
from mount everwhite has uplifted her arms like clouds

O Lorien too long have i dwelled upon this hither shore
and in a fading crown have twined the golden elanor

now all the paths are drowned deep in shadow
and out of a grey country darkness lies

on the foaming waves between us
and mist covers the jewels of Calacirya
forever
now lost, lost to those from the east is Valimar
Farewell
maybe even thou shall find Valimar
maybe even thou shall find it
Farewell
