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!

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.

WELL, HERE YOU GO MISS DETS.( determamfidd )YOU ARE AN AMAZING HUMAN THAT KALI MA’D MY HEART STRAIGHT OUTTA MY CHEST WITH THAT LAST CHAPTER. *hugs*

Lyrics by my feelsy self

Melody and Vocals by Goldberry ( goldberryintherushes you superstar)

Lyrics

Afar it was from Iron Hills,
When Barazantathul fell still.
It’s wielder gone, by foul arts killed.
A long vengeance at last fulfilled.

Our King fought hard with power true!
With his red axe of radiant hue.
Yet in the end, did come his doom.
Tan gamut warg ai-menu.

In crimson earth of softest clay,
Was his body finally laid.
Endurer strong, Old Wise King Dáin
Returned at last to home again.

Khuzdul Translations

Khathuzhâl= Endurer (also the dark-name of Dáin, as said by the ever awesome Miss Dets)

Barazantathul= The name of Dáin Ironfoot’s kickass red axe

Tan gamut warg ai-menu= May a good death be upon you.

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!

This is a KICKASS drinking song askdjfgalsdjgfljdh!!!! *stamps along and waves her tankard*

Also goldberry-in-the-rushes you have SUCH AN ADORABLE VOICE how can I want to hug a voice

hi this may sound a bit weird but your rendition of the iron hills soldier’s song is really soothing? like not in the usual sense of peaceful dozing soothing, but it definitely calms me down and makes me feel better so basically thank you for singing it <3

!!!

you like my singinggggggg ahhhhhAWWWWWW YOU ARE TOTALLY LOVELY AND I AM ALL A-FLUTTER

Thank you! I’m glad it calms you, Nonnie, and I’m thrilled you like it! I put it together in like an hour and a half (SO rushed, seriously, all panic stations before the Dwarfling woke up – NOT my most polished performance tbh) and I’m still honestly still a bit kerflummoxed by how well it came together, considering.

EDIT: okay someone just asked for the link so you can hear my ~~racket~~ dulcet tones if you haven’t already – here it is 🙂

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, theironhillsformeforme I 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!
