The Elven Republican Army Marches Through Malinor

[TheNander 241]

Melcindómien "Melcin" Caundaugion (Mehl-kin-doe-mee-ehn Cown-dowg-ee-on) along with others dressed in the usual E.R.A. attire and equipped with crossbows march through the streets of Malinor singing songs in Elven:

 

((Lyrics in common due to the official LOTC Elven dictionary being incomplete. When sung in Elven the song goes to the tune of "Drunken Sailor".))

 

Chorus
Oh-ro You are welcome home,
Oh-ro You are welcome home,
Oh-ro You are welcome home,
Now that summer’s coming!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chorus
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Welcome lady who faced such troubles
Your capture brought us to our ruin
With our fine land ruined by villains
And you sold to the corrupt ones!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chorus
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The E.R.A. comes over the sea,
With armed warriors all on guard
They’re Elf men – not Dwarf nor Human
And they will rout the council!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chorus
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
May it please dear Malin that we might see,
Even if we only live for a week after,
the E.R.A. and a thousand warriors -
Routing all the council!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chorus
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(( The lyrics are a LOTC parody of the English translation of the Irish song Oró Sé do Bheath Abhaile. Inspired by this one clip from the film The Wind That Shakes the Barley

Marek claps, cheering on the marching ERA.

 

Is possibly being paid to do this...

Hangs upside down from a tree high in the canopy. Khel's long silvery hair hands down low from his head as its pulled to the earth by gravity. When Khel hears the chanting and snaps his gaze over to it. Khel tilts his head at the scene while he still hangs upside down. 

 

Khel scoffs

 

"Nothing more than singing corpses"

 

Khel pulls himself up into the trees by his legs. He vanishes into the foliage of the high canopy, out of sight.

((The reason the LoTC elven is not complet is becouse IC it is not fully re-discovered again, meaning making a song in elven would be very hard.
Sorry for the OOC post.))

((Don't worry about it. It was necessary info. I found a complete elven dictionary and began translating the song from Irish into English, modified it, then started translating it into elven using the dictionary I found on Google. Then I realized that if I used the non-LoTC elvish, you would all just hear gibberish in RP. So that's why I left it in English and let you use your imagination.))
