"Her eyes grey as the sea, were hard and fell and yet tears were
on her checks. A sword was in her hand and she raised her
shield against the horror of her enemies eyes"

The Prologue

Galadriel

The world is changed
I feel it in the water
I feel it in the earth
I smell it in the air

Much that once was is lost
For none now live who remember it

Aníron

(Theme for Arwen and Aragorn)
composed and performed by Enya
lyrics by Roma Ryan

O môr henion i dhû
Ely siriar, êl síla
Ai! Aníron Undómiel
Tiro! Êl eria e môr
I 'lîr en êl luitha 'uren
~
Ai! Aníron....
From darkness I understand the night
Dreams flow, a star shines
Ah! I desire Evenstar
Look! A star rises out of the darkness
The song of the star enchants my heart
Ah! I desire....

May It Be

composed and performed by Enya
lyrics by Roma Ryan

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

Mornie utúlië (darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantië (darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now

May it be the shadows call
Will fly away

May it be your journey on
To light the day

When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun

Mornie utúlië (darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantië (darkness has fallen)

A promise lives within you now
A promise lives within you now

Lament for Gandalf

featured in Lothlorien
Performed by Elizabeth Frazer

Quenya and Sindarin translation

A Olórin i yáresse
Mentaner i Númeherui
Tírien i Rómenóri
Maiaron i oiosaila
Manan elye etevanne
Nórie i malanelye?

Ú-reniathach
i amar galen
I reniad lín ne môr, nuithannen

In gwidh ristennin
i fae narchannen
I Lach Anor ed ardhon gwannen

Calad veleg, ethuiannen

Choir text:

Melme nóren sina
núra ala Eäro nur
Ilfirin nairelma
ullume nucuvalme
Nauva i nauva

~
Olórin who once was...
Sent by the Lords of the West
To guard the Lands of the East
Wisest of all Maiar
What drove you to leave
That which you loved?

No more will you wander
The green fields of this earth
Your journey has ended in darkness

The bonds are sundered
The spirit is broken
The flame of Anor has left this World

A great light has gone out

Choir text:

Our love for this land
Is deeper than the deeps
Of the sea
Our regret is undying
Yet we will cast all away
Rather that submit
What should be shall be

The Prophecy

music by Howard Shore
lyrics by philippa Boyens
translation by David Salo

The Seer Speaks....
Yénillor morne
tulinte I quettar
Tercáno nuruva
Hlasta! Qyetes
Hfirimain
The Ringspell....
~
The Seer Speaks....
Out of the Black Years
Come the words
The herald of Death
Listen- it speaks to
Those who were not born to die
The Ringspell....

In Dreams

(featured in "The Breaking of the Fellowship")
words and music by Fran Walsh and Howard Shore
performed by Edward Ross

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 still 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
And back again

Green Dragon Drinking Song

Merry and Pippin

Hey! Ho! to the bottle I go
To heal my heart and drown my woe.
Rain may fall and wind may blow,
But there'll still beeeee...
many miles to go!

Sweet is the sound of the pouring rain
and the stream that falls from hill to
plain better than rain or rippling brook
is a mug of beer inside this Took!

The Passing of the Elves

Performed by David Long with Plan 9
Solo [by Elizabeth Fraser?] in Sindarin

A Bereth thar Ennui Aeair!
Calad ammen i reniar
Mi 'aladhremmin ennorath
A Elbereth Gilthoniel
i chin a thûl lín míriel

'O Queen beyond the Western Seas!
O light to us that wander
Amid the tree-woven middle-lands
O Elbereth Star-kindler
the eyes and breath your [are] shining-like-jewels

Song to Tinúviel

(featured in Flight to the Ford)

Tinúviel elvanui
Elleth alfirin edhelhael
O hon ring finnil fuinui
A renc gelebrin thiliol...

Immortal maiden elven-wise
About him cast [her] night-dark hair
And arms [like] silver glimmering...
