Lyrics
Gilim gilim jalaiglim.
Thatûr ag zanelekha.
Zelefsu Khajmîthuh
Zelefsu Kurdeluh
Nurtul jalaneta.
English Translation
Glint glint gleam.
The stars shall soon shine.
Sleep my little gift
Sleep my heart of all hearts
Your long day
is ended.I’m loathe to add any commentary (which is surprisingly reserved for me) to this haunting, beautiful rendition, because holy frijoles! Songlark, you have once again blown me away with your mad skills. *cries softly, hugs you, covers your shoulder in snot and tears* You. Are. Stupendous. You bring my wriggling mass of rhymes to life, and this lullaby wouldn’t hurt my heart so much if it weren’t for you. I don’t know whether to thank you or kiss you, you ahh YOU.
And since this will be squeezed into The Seventh and Last, and because she is just a fantastic human being to know, I gotta thank Miss Dets as well. Just… ALL HER EMOTIONALLY STIRRING DWARVISH SONGS.
The Iron Hills for me, the Iron Hills for me, theironhillsformeformeI may be a queen, but she’s QUEEN OF THOSE FEELS!(It kinda devolves into a bona fide headcanon after this. Totally unapologetic).
Ms Pop, you are the Queen of all Queens. *hugs*
ALSO – holy hannah, goldberry-in-the-rushes! Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful! Gonna play it to the Dwarfling tomorrow before her daytime nap 🙂
(ALSO: Ms Pop? YES THAT HEADCANON IS SPECTACULAR AND ALSO FAB AND YOUR THINKING IS SPOT ON. Check out Alris’ bio: she sang and hummed constantly as she worked, and her kids all picked it up from her. Baris was the great talent, and Bofrur also became a musician, but they’re all more or less musically competent!
ALSO BOMFRIS SINGING TO HER BABY WHILE STONEHELM LISTENS EXCUSE ME WHILE I SELF-DESTRUCT FROM THE CUTENESS)
