about

One of the first songs I ever recorded.

lyrics

Like a jewel buried deep beneath the ground
My love gave off no light and made no sound
It lay untouched for a century
Til miner’s hands came and set it free
And to your fate my soul was ever bound

For years I walked the forest’s paths alone
Among my father’s kin the seeds were sown
The malice I was taught to bear
My people’s callous lack of care
Were washed away like ocean-polished stone

Oh, a’maelamin
You have proved the folly of my kin
Oh, ai atar
Your spirit shines as bright as any star

At first I found it difficult to trust
My people’s ill opinions all seemed just
But as we tread the thorny path
And fought to stave off evil’s wrath
Our wariness soon crumbled all to dust

In Lorien beneath the Mallorn trees
The radiant Lady brought you to your knees
To see the love within your eyes
Awoke in me a sweet surprise
A firm devotion that would never cease

Mela en coriamin
I'll stay beside you til your eyes grow dim
Oh, spangaer
With you I’d board the fair grey ships and sail away
Away...
