[BILBO]
Writing out the story in the Red Book every day
I’m keeping the lamp lit while your light is away
He’s on the other side of twilight,
He tried to take back what was his,
But now the nights are growing darker,
and it is what it is.
Love doesn’t discriminate
Between the sinners
And the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes
And we keep loving anyway
We laugh and we cry
And we break
And we make our mistakes
And if there’s a reason beyond my pride
That I stayed by his side
Then I’m willing to wait for it
I’m willing to wait for it
My grandfather was a Thain and a great tactician
But there are things of which the Shire has no suspicion
My mother loved adventure
My father commanded respect
When they died they left no instructions
Just a legacy to protect
[BILBO/DEAD DWARF PEANUT GALLERY]
Death doesn’t discriminate
Between the sinners
And the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes
And we keep living anyway
We rise and we fall
And we break
And we make our mistakes
And if there’s a reason I’m still alive
When everyone who loves me has died
I’m willing to wait for it
I’m willing to wait for it
[DEAD DWARF PEANUT GALLERY ]
Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait for it
[BILBO]
Nothing is left in my life I can control
[DEAD DWARF PEANUT GALLERY]
Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait for it
[BILBO]
I am disreputable,
I am now a fairy tale
[DEAD DWARF PEANUT GALLERY]
Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait for it
[BILBO]
Always falling behind or there too late
[DEAD DWARF PEANUT GALLERY]
Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait for it
[BILBO]
Now all I have left is to grow old and wait
[DEAD DWARF PEANUT GALLERY]
Wait
Wait
Wait
[BILBO]
Frodo faces an endless uphill climb
[ DEAD DWARF PEANUT GALLERY]
Climb
Climb
Climb
[BILBO]
He has to save us all
He is so very small
[ DEAD DWARF PEANUT GALLERY ]
Small
Small
[BILBO]
The Enemy’s pace is relentless
He wastes no time
[ DEAD DWARF PEANUT GALLERY ]
Time
Time
Time
[BILBO]
Still Frodo answers the call.
The Ring doesn’t hesitate
It exhibits no restraint
It takes and it takes and it takes
And it will exploit any way
It eats you alive from inside
and it gnaws and it breaks
And if there’s a reason
It came to me when none could foresee, then damn it all —
[BILBO/DEAD DWARF PEANUT GALLERY]
I’m willing to wait for it
I’m willing to wait for it…
Life doesn’t discriminate
Between the sinners and the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes
And we keep living anyway
We rise and we fall and we break
And we make our mistakes
And if there’s a reason I’m still alive
When so many have died
Then I’m willin’ to—
[BILBO]
Wait for it…
Wait for it…
For @scarletclarinet – Stark my friend, I hope this little thing brings a moment of peace. *hugs some more*
Okay, so a couple of weeks ago, the fab @random-human-here posted this:
I have done the thing! *strikes silly pose*
I hope you enjoy!
Soooo, it is late (SORRY)! But this is for @gigolasweek day 3: Languages. Yes, I am singing both Legolas and Gimli, it is super confusing. I have put the translation under the cut!
Gimli is Bold
Legolas is italic
Words both in Neo-Khuzdul and in Sindarin, bc I am a glutton for punishment.
Things have come to a pretty pass
Our romance is wondered at,
For you say this and the other
While I say this and that,
Goodness knows what the end
will be
Oh I don’t know where I’m at
It looks as if we two cannot talk as one
Something must be done:
You say mellon and I say laddie,
You say Ada and I say Adad,
Mellon, laddie, Ada, Adad,
Let’s call the whole thing off.
You like galthasas (boar meat)
and I like sogannen (drinking)
You like rochben (horses)
and I … don’t.
Galthasas, sogannen, rochben,
(I’ll walk, thank you).
Let’s call the whole thing off
But oh, if we call the whole
thing off
Then we must part
And oh, if we ever part, then that might break my heart
So if you like agâr (caverns)
and I like tawarwaith (forests),
I’ll share the agâr and visit
tawarwaith.
(BOTH) For we know we need each other
so we
Better call the calling off off
Let’s call the whole thing off.
You say ghivasha and you say mirion (treasure)
You say umral and
you say seron (lover)
Ghivasha, mirion, umral, seron
(BOTH) Let’s call the whole thing off,
You like gwinion (wine)
and I like zullel (lager)
You sabakhkhîn
(continue to fight excessively – again certainly), and I peng maetha (wield a
bow)
Gwinion, zullel, sabakhkhîn…
and I beat you last time!
Let’s call the whole
thing off
But oh if we call the
whole thing of then we must part
And oh, if we ever part, then that might break my heart
So if you hold a mereth
(feast) and I naimrigi (feast together)
We’ll go to both and so
outrage our family,
(BOTH) For we know we need each other
so we
Better call the calling off off,
Let’s call the whole thing off.
I say Goheno nin (forgive me),
and you say Burushruka igbulul e (I am sorry),
I say An ngell nîn (please) and you say zabirasakhjami (please)
Well, go on, reckon you
can say all that again Laddie…?
let’s call the whole thing
off.
I say nainmî (kiss with
each other) and you say mibim (we kiss)
I say amrâlimê (love of mine) and I get Gi Melin (I love you)
nainmî, mibim, amrâlimê, Gi melin,
(How do you get your tongue around all that? Would you like a demonstration?)
(BOTH) But oh if we call the whole thing of then we must part
And oh, if we ever part, then that might break my heart
So I like Anfangrim
(Longbeards) and you go for khuthzêl (Elves),
We’re totally different
and it suits us well
(BOTH) For we know we need each other so we
Better call the calling off off,
Let’s call the whole thing off.
You
first
No you!
