Galadriel's Song [German translation]

I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold

And leaves of gold there grew

Of wind I sang, a wind there came

And in the branches blew

Beyond the Sun, beyond the Moon

The foam was on the Sea

And by the strand of Ilmarin

There grew a golden Tree

Beneath the stars of Ever-eve in Eldamar it shone

In Eldamar beside the walls of Elven Tirion

There long the golden leaves have grown

Upon the branching years

While here beyond the Sundering Seas

Now falls the Elven-tears

O Lórien! The Winter comes

The bare and the leafless Day

The leaves are falling in the stream

The River flows away

O Lórien! Too long I have dwelt

Upon this Hither Shore

And in a fading crown have twined the golden elanor

But if of ships I now should sing

What ship would come to me

What ship would bear me ever back across so wide a Sea?
