@@ranma941 1. It could be translated into Sindarin by one of the High Elves and sung that way. 2. It is possible that they would also have Irish as a secondary language. Welsh is the closest language to Sindarin, but Irish would work too, it would sound beautiful. 3. The creepy part.. I'm not going to agree or disagree with this. But in a story it could be possible that they could sing it to help them sleep? Sorry for the long comment just thought I'd say my piece on this.
An idea I had based off the Elven prince: (he's already married) He is sitting in a tree branch, and he holds his son/daughter in his arms as he sings them to sleep using this song in the light of stars.
I imagine two lovers running away in the dead of night, a crowd chasing them down. One of the people stabs the younger lover, and then this is the song they sing to their partner as they lay there dying, warning them to run, and leave them behind. Or at the end the older one picks their lover up in their arms and runs with them as the younger one dies. Eventually they get to safety, but the latter of the two has already died, and the older one mourns their lover and sings this.
Lyrics *in phonetic Gaelic Shule, shule, shule aroon Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn, Shule go durrus oggus aylig lume, Shule, shule, shule aroon Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn, Shule go durrus oggus aylig lume, Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn. I wish I was on yonder hill 'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill, And every tear would turn a mill I'll sell my rod, I'll sell my reel I'll sell my only spinning wheel To buy my love a sword of steel Shule, shule, shule aroon Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn, Shule go durrus oggus aylig lume, Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn. I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red And 'round the world I'll beg my bread Until my parents shall wish me dead Shule, shule, shule aroon Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn, Shule go durrus oggus aylig lume, Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn. Shule, shule, shule aroon Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn, Shule go durrus oggus aylig lume Shule, shule, shule aroon Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn, Shule go durrus oggus aylig lume, Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.
