Márë Olori



This song, curiously, appears to be an Elvish lullaby of sorts. Although the title appears to be written in Quenya, the lullaby itself has been translated into the Common tongue.

Márë Olori

Sweet dreams, sweet dreams,
Let the rivers carry thee,

Sweet dreams, sweet dreams,
'Tis a short good night ode to thee,

Let the light of the morning be captured in thy eyes,
Sweet dreams, sweet dreams,
I shall bid ye good night,

Sweet dreams, sweet dreams,
Let Ithil guard your sleep,
Sweet dreams, sweet dreams,
The journey of Tilion and Arien shall pass a forthnight

Alternative Choruses

Sweet dreams, sweet dreams,
So shall stars gleam in the sky,
Sweet dreams, sweet dreams,
Allow all to rest hence

Sweet dreams, sweet dreams,
Let the stars drive away foes,
Sweet dreams, sweet dreams,
Let us leave Middle-earth
