Beyond the sun and moon, and on the sea
And by the strand there grew a golden tree
The golden leaves grew all these years
And on the sea now full of tears

Too long I have dwell on the other shore
In a fading crown twined with the golden elanor.
But what ship would now come to me,
To bear me across so wide a sea?

I sang of leaves, and leaves there grew
Of wind I sang, and the branches blew

Too long I have dwell on the other shore
In a fading crown twined with the golden elanor.
But what ship would now come to me,
To bear me across so wide a sea?

Namárië! Nai hiruvalyë Valimar.
Nail elyë hiryva. Namárië!
