You guys have been asking for some more songs in Quenya for a long time now, so I thought I would have a go at writing another! I am incredibly grateful for how amazingly Lullaby from a Distant Land was received. That song will always have a place in my heart. I was 17 or 18 when I wrote that song originally and much less informed then about Quenya and Tolkien's languages. Had I known that there were scholars who were actively studying these languages in such depth then, I surely would have seeked guidance when writing those lyrics! Alas, no amount of dictionaries and translator software can replace the expertise of those that have dedicated their time to learning how to read and interpret Tolkien's languages!
As much as the melodies and the song were enjoyable, I have always been self-conscious about how the lyrics were put together clumsily. So we have been working with Peter Crijns, who you can find active on the Vinyë Lambengolmor Discord server. There is a seriously knowledgeable and amazing group of people dedicated to all things linguistically Tolkien. We are often left comments about learning these languages, and I would wholeheartedly recommend joining this community. I think you'll find it to be an endless resource of knowledge, for sure!
During these unpredictable times we are currently facing, where many are largely stuck indoors, following the varied advice of their own prospective governments to halt the spread of COVID-19, I hope that this song is able to transport you into the arms of comfort that nature and fantasy are able to bring. Stay strong and stay positive. Let's all weather the storm together - we can do this!
Endless love to you all, and may your eyes bless all that they see.

Hello everyone!
Music can soothe the soul, especially in trying times like these, so I hope our Elven Lullaby will help you to find at least a little time of comfort, if you're in isolation, or out there working. Stay strong.
Many thanks to Peter Crijns for working with us once more and many thanks to Carina for letting us use her beautiful pictures in this video! If you're finding yourself in isolation and missing the beauty of nature maybe checking out her facebook or instagram might help you a little. It's definitely worth it. We posted links below.
Thank you for listening!

Ter i lóme, nai lye ómanya rahtuva,
Or i súre, nai lyenna órenya wilyuva...
Nai loruvalye,
Hendu holine...
Nai loruvalye,
Éli calime...
Á sasta ingalya or telcunyat, nanwie nauvar ilye olorilyar
Á pata ter fend' ex’ Ardanna,
Á papátu mina tyelepta cala
Nai loruvalye,
Hendu holine...
Nai loruvalye,
Éli calime...
Á sasta ingalya or telcunyat, nanwie nauvar ilye olorilyar
Translation:
Through the night, may my voice reach you,
Over the wind, may my heart fly to you...
May you sleep,
Eyes closed...
May you sleep,
Stars luminous...
Rest your head over my lap, all your dreams will be reality
Step through a door to another Realm,
Slowly walk into the silver light
May you sleep,
Eyes closed...
May you sleep,
Stars luminous...
Rest your head over my lap, all your dreams will be reality
