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...
