This is a parody of the song Sleepsong by Secret Garden where Dragonmad and Determamfidd helped me change the lyrics of the original song to create, essentially, a lullaby that Dís essentially sings for Fili and Kili when they wee little dwarflings to help them sleep. Dets helped us by telling us to picture the boys sitting upon Dís’ legs and being very tender..

However, this version of this song is where she will not be seeing her boys after that night, as they leave the following with Thorin and the Company for the Return to Erebor, and they will be sitting beside her feet. She will have a hand on either of their heads and gently petting their hair. She can only pray that they will return.

She’s trying not to cry, so I hope I conveyed the pain through my voice in this! The lyrics for this is below~.

– Grimm.

Lay down your head and I’ll sing you a lullaby
Back to the years of Durin’s Day
And I’ll sing you to sleep and I’ll sing you tomorrow
Bless you with love for the road that you go

May you walk far to the fair fields of fortune
With diamonds and pearls at your head and your feet
And may you need never to banish misfortune
May you find kindness in all that you meet

May there always be Mahal to watch over you
To guide you each step of the way
To guard you and keep you safe from all harm
Be at peace, Undayûy

May you bring love and may you bring happiness
Be loved in return to the end of your days
Now fall off to sleep, I’m not meaning to keep you
I’ll just sit for a while and sing, Amrâlimê 

May there always be Valar to watch over you
To guide you each step of the way
To guard you and keep you safe from all harm
Kurduluh, nidoyûy

OH GRIMM IT TURNED OUT SO BEAUTIFUL

*sobs soulfully into her lunch*

Ever since I watched the movie again, I’ve thought of this song as the song that the Dwarves (i.e. Bombur and Dís’s party) sing as they approach Erebor (Chapter 4, specifically, to make it relevant to Sansukh) – sad for those they’ve lost, but hopeful. In the movie, it plays over a scene of the Jews leaving Goshen for the final time.

Please excuse how gross my voice is – this is the FOURTH time I’ve tried to record this song tonight (and the first time I haven’t deleted it due to being a control freak), and I had to hit a LOT of high Gs. Possibly some As. I’m tired.

beautiful! You have fantastic intonation, and such a lovely tone! Awesome diction, too! I love it!

So inspiration hit. I blame this on the rest of the cast really. Sorry for the inside jokes (wait no I’m not). 

BOFUR SINGSSSSSS

When I was ten, my mother had me read The Fellowship of the Ring before I saw the movie. Upon reaching the scene where the hobbits take baths, I came up with my own tune for Bilbo’s bath song, and have now souped it up.

Apologies for the bad quality; my guitar strings are starting to go out on me, and it’s late (AKA my voice is tired :D).

BEAUTIFUL!

For the Sansukh podfic cast karaoke!

This is the song Yah Ribon Olam, an old tune sung on the Sabbath, and a favourite of mine and my family’s. I recorded it because, well, Tolkien did say he based Khuzdul to sound Semitic, and Aramaic is a Semitic language, so, why not?

Words and lyrics are here – in the original Aramaic, and with transliteration. A better translation to English is found here.

OH GORGEOUS

Nadad Amê (Brother Mine)
Song and Khuzdul by goldberry-in-the-rushes

This song was inspired by determamfidd and her latest Sansûkh update. It is a lament that I imagine Dis to sing for Dain.

I will have you know I bawled like a baby trying to sing this.

LYRICS

Sweet orchards of the Lossarnach

Fine petals on the vine.

I’d take you there to laugh and walk

Down amongst the flowers talk,

If only you’ll be mine.

poplitealqueen:

Caught one day without no cheer
Only wishin’ to disappear.
When by my luck I happened t’spy
A friendly barmaid gone far awry.

I crept to her cart
When she woke with a start!
And demanded that I pay her!

(call out) FOR WHAT?!

Potations!
LIBATIONS!
Such pretty little temptations!
They soothe the throat
And tickle as they go
Such wonderous sensations!

She wouldn’t settle, not so soon.
Oh weary me, why’d I pursue?
Well I’d not a nip, not one sad sip.
Since the king’s last war with Rhûn!

(call out) OF WHAT?!

Potations!
LIBATIONS!
Such pretty little temptations!
They soothe the throat
And tickle as they go
Such wonderous sensations!

She had with her so many fine brews.
Why oh why leave me to choose?
She’d gallons of grog, and sides of cider.
When oh when would it be nicer?
She’d buckets of booze and mountains of malts!
What oh what would end this assault?
She’d barrels of brandy, sweet as candy
Everythin’ t’ make me feel dandy!

Don’t say that you disapprove!!
Just pour one, dear, and off ye move!
And don’t ask me if I can pay
Now p’rhaps give me a shandy, eh?

Soak me in some evil brew
Please dear please don’t make me choose.
I’d only lose, I always do.
Fill me till I’ll only crawl,
O end this fool for once and all!

(call out) WITH WHAT?!

Potations!
LIBATIONS!
Such pretty little temptations!
They soothe the throat
And tickle as they go
Such wondrous sensations!

Let this lad go far astray
For when these thoughts are drowned away
So then, too, shall pain not stay.
And when it’s done I’ll smile and say:

Potations!
LIBATIONS!
Such pretty little temptations!
They soothe the throat
And tickle as they go
Such wondrous sensations!
