Durin's Day



Lyrics by Dwalia

Durin's Day
Let us all gather here on Durin's Day
Durin's Day
And celebrate New Year on Durin's Day

Rainy days are over
Autumn bows its head, ice and snow have won
Dwarrows come all here
Speak your vows because the winter has begun

Durin's Day
Let us all gather here on Durin's Day
Durin's Day
And celebrate New Year on Durin's Day

When in clear blue skies
The sunshine meets the moon
It is Durin's Day
And we'll write Durin's rune

A long line of dwarrows
And the longest beards will be the first

The oldest starts his vow
To Mahal just here and now
Next year's duties, resolutions, plannings and amendments

Durin's Day
Let us all gather here on Durin's Day
Durin's Day
And celebrate New Year on Durin's Day

When in clear blue skies
The sunshine meets the moon
It is Durin's Day
And we'll write Durin's rune

May your beards grow longer
And your axes be sharp
And Mahal may guide your ways all through the next year

Durin's Day
Durin's Day
Durin's Day
Durin's Day

Durin's Day
Let us all gather here on Durin's Day
Durin's Day
And celebrate New Year on Durin's Day

((sung to "Reggae Night" by Jimmy Cliff))
