Yes, I know it's totally cheesy and terrible. But Legolas sings cheesy weird songs to himself all throughout LOTR, so why not :p

Like a jewel buried deep beneath the ground

My love gave off no light and made no sound

It lay untouched for a century

Til miner's hands came and set it free

And to your fate my soul was ever bound

For years I walked the forest paths alone

Among my father's kin the seeds were sown

The malice I was taught to bear

My race's callous lack of care

Was washed away like ocean-polished stone

Oh, a'maelamin

You have proved the folly of my kin

Oh, ai 'atar

Your spirit shines as bright as any star

At first I found it difficult to trust

My people's ill opinions all seemed just

But as we tread the thorny path

And fought to stave off evil's wrath

Our wariness soon crumbled all to dust

In Lorien beneath the Mallorn trees

The radiant Lady brought you to your knees

To see the love within your eyes

Awoke in me a sweet surprise

A firm devotion that would never cease

Mela en coriamin

I'll stay beside you til your eyes grow dim

Oh, spangaer

With you I'll board the fair grey ships and sail

Away...
