Á caita
Caselya lissë ar moiana
Lómë lantëa
Utúlielyë tiëo mettanna
Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
Night is falling
You have come to journey's end
Á lorë sí
Óla - quenion i epë tuller
Yálantë
Arta falassello vaháya
Sleep now
Dream - of the ones who came before
They are calling
From across a distant shore
Manan le nyenyë?
Mana sinë níri antalyassë?
Rato cenuvalyë
Ilyë caurelyar autuvar
Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away
Varna mi ranconyat
Er lóralyë
Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping
Mana pólalyë cenë
Imbë hellë ar ëar?
Manan i maiwi ninqui yaimië?
What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Arta Ëar
Isil ninquë ortëa
I ciryar utúlier
Colien le márenna
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come
To carry you home
Ar ilya ahyuva ve vírin
Cala i nenessë
Ilyë fëar autar
And all will turn to silver glass
A light on the water
All souls pass
Estel sintëa
I ardanna lómeva
Ter lumbuli lantala
Pella enyalië ar lúmë
Hope fades
Into the world of night
Through shadows falling
Out of memory and time
Áva quetë
Utúliemmë sí mettanna
Ninqui falassi yálar
Le ar ni omentuva ata
Don't say
We have come now to the end
White shores are calling
You and I will meet again
Ar nauvalyë sinomë mi ranconyat
Er lóra
And you'll be here in my arms
Just sleeping
Mana pólalyë cenë
Imbë hellë ar ëar?
Manan i maiwi ninqui yaimië?
What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Arta Ëar
Isil ninquë ortëa
I ciryar utúlier
Colien le márenna
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come
To carry you home
Ar ilya ahyuva ve vírin
Cala i nenessë
Sindi ciryar autar
Númenna
And all will turn to silver glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the West
