“Blow Northerne Wynd”  – Helium Vola

As long as we are sharing songs about wind that remind us of a certain Vala, here’s one I just discovered. As far as lyrics go, it’s a rather generic love song in Middle English, so you may apply it to whoever you like. 

Also just a friendly reminder, my Mairon has a bass voice, and he sings while working. ❤ Something to keep in mind while listening. 

WELL GOSH LOOK WHAT TIME IT IS

THAT’S RIGHT NAUGHTY CHILDREN

IT’S JOEL FREDERICKSEN HOUR AGAIN

oh no

not even gonna remotely pretend like this isn’t my jam

|| my limited knowledge of Swedish doesn’t allow me to understand this German song PLEASE SOMEONE GIVE ME THE LYRICS WITH TRANSLATION I FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS SONG AND NEED TO KNOW WHAT IT SAYS

also am I the only one who imagines all the Vanyar singing this in a huge choir while dancing around trees and bonfires?

YES EXACTLY 

Here’s the German text. Can someone understand the Quenya?

Eine Stimme spricht, eine Sehnsucht wächst
A voice is speaking, a longing is growing

Von der Nacht berührt und vom Mond geweckt
Touched by the night and woken by the moon

Die Erinnerung an ein fernes Glück
The memory of a far-off joy

Hinterm Horizont führt der Weg zurück
Behind the horizon the path leads back

Chorus

Diese Welt zerbricht, hol uns fort von hier
This world is breaking (apart), take us away from here

Unser Volk ist weit, unsere Kraft bei dir
Our people are far away, our power [lies with] you

Deine Bucht umschließt das Gelobte Land
Your Bay encloses the Blessed Realm [more literally: Promised Land, but she is singing about Valinor, so…]

Was an Hoffnung bleibt ist von dir gesandt
What hope remains was sent by you

Chorus

Eine Stimme spricht und ein Wind kommt auf
A voice is speaking, a wind is springing up

So das Schicksal will führt der Weg nach Haus
If fate wills it, the path will lead home

Quenya

Naira Eär, naira Eär, Endor lestalmë, Eldamar!
Naira Eär, naira Eär, tanna lutta nu i Menelmacar
Naira Eär, naira Eär, Endor lestalmë, Eldamar!
Naira Eär, naira Eär, telda ranta ló i menya lenda

Ela Eldamar – Elo!
Ela Eldamar – Elo!
Ela Eldamar – Elo!
Síra an Elerína

Translation

Boundless ocean, boundless ocean, we leave Middle-earth, Eldamar!
Boundless ocean, boundless ocean, there we sail under Menelmacar
Boundless ocean, boundless ocean, we leave Middle-earth, Eldamar!
Boundless ocean, boundless ocean, the last part of our journey

See, Eldamar – Oh!
See, Eldamar – Oh!
See, Eldamar – Oh!
This day to Elerína
