Elven Songs

[Watyll 1104]

Elves need some songs. I made some. Guarding a gate gives you a lot of spare time.

 

I know a lot of the grammar etc. is incorrect but you know, incomplete language, gaps need to be filled. Most of them actually have a rhyme scheme so I'm pretty proud of that. And I tried to make at least one for each sub race. Here you go:

 

When Malin Walked the Forests

Malin elamean narn ito elker’ante

Elvish:

 

Ito cruan igne’sae

Ito cruan toh’sae

Ito cruan miar’sae

Malin elamean narn ito elker’ante

 

Lenan kerante len’sae

Noran kerante nor’sae

Malii ito linan’sae

Malin elamean narn ito elker’ante

 

Lye andria adont ito

Lye llum adont ito

Lye vira’n adont ito

Lye elkarin’ento adont  Malin narn elamean marn’oem

Common:

There was no war

There was no razing

There was no harming

When Malin walked the forests

 

Songs were sung

Lands were farmed

Elves within towns

When Malin walked the forests

 

We wait with hope

We wait with mourning

We wait with vigilance

We wait for the time when Malin walks the forests once more

This is the way we want all

Silver Leaders

Sohaeran'thilln

A High Elven song that is more of a recitation. It is expected that all young High Elf children learn this song, which tells the metaphorical history of the Aheran leadership. 

Elvish:

El’Ibar narn’acaele, oem Sohaer

El’wehn’fihir’lentos fih el’vilut’fihir’akal

Common:

The owl rose, first Leader

The deer devoured the lion

The owl left for the worm

 

The worm left for the butterfly

The butterfly left for the swan

The swan left for the butterfly reborn

 

The butterfly gave rise to the moth

The moth was devoured by the butterfly

The butterfly yields to the lynx

 

 

Song to the Forest

Len Ito El'Ame

A Wood Elven song professing the love of their race for the forests.

Elvish:

O! Ame, taynei!

Nae okar lye ito aelor!

O! Vallel vallei!

Narn el’nor!

 

Marn’ceru thilln!

Marn’ceru thulin’ayal!

Marn’ceru thulin’barbu!

O! Forest, green!

You guard us from evil!

O! Blue river!

Travel through the land!

More strong than bronze!

More strong than onyx!

The forest is stronger than all!

 

 

The Lover is a Wanderer (All credit to Gaius)

El Ayilun Avern

A song composed by Durandir Thill'onn: Len el-Hiylu :: Songs of the Spirited

Nae! Kae! Lye taynuelan omentae okarn ehier'ante

Chulane saner, taynuelan ito suliian

Valleier iyl'acaln'seth, karim narn'acaelen

Common:

Desires have their travel

Circulates like water

but I can't see your part of my vitality/heart

[The heart!] Given to wander!

 

I search the secret of my heart for desire for you

but I find only myself and that I am you

and the spirit higher

She finds that I am raptured in her

She speaks of herself like she speaks as part of me

 

 

A flask of wine, a book of verse, a wild field

You, me, our hearts entwined, paradise revealed

No need to speak, our hearts are in our eyes.

Drink deep this treasure of oblivion, the moment is flying

[Faunherer 44]

((Copy these down into books and I might buy a few from you ;)

[Samson Option 9652]

((I already have a thread up for Elven songs, you can fold them there or fold mine here.))

((****, my bad. Where's it at?))

[Samoblivion 532]

I adore these. For some reason the Wood Elf war song reminds me of the Mandalorian war hymn from Republic Commando:

I'd picture this as more of the melody for War Seeker, because of the darker tones.

[Mizziyrnn 2]

((So awesome. I'll make sure this gets used in rp. The dark elf one is so metal, in fact throw a bearded Norwegian person as a singer and a guitar solo and it's there. That'll do pig, that'll do))

 

Mizziyrn mutters an aggressive chant to himself, recalling the most grim of his days right before laying his head down to sleep.

((Nah it is cool, just file what I've written so far in an edit of your post under the subtitle "Len el-Hiylu". The poems are authored by Durandir Thill'onn.

((Added, comrade.

[Demotheus 651]

make a song about an evil tiny dark elf who likes to eat people and cause chaos.

[Samson Option 9652]

Watyll, make the subtitle for mine the following:

 

Len el-Hiylu :: Songs of the Spirited

 

Much obliged comrade.

I think dark elves have had enough tiny cannibals who have no understanding of law and order, best not sanction it through song.

I dont know you, but I respect you. Genuinely.

That's just the thing though. It needs to be written in song. Doesn't have to praise it, just acknowledge that it's a thing that happens.

Changed.
