|| 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

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
