Gil-Galad was an Elven-king Of him the harpers sadly sing: The last whose realm was fair and free Between the Mountains and the Sea His sword was long, his lance was keen His shining helm afar was seen; The countless stars of heaven's field Were mirrored in his silver shield But long ago he rode away And where he dwelleth none can say; For into darkness fell his star In Mordor where the shadows are But long ago he rode away And where he dwelleth none can say; For into darkness fell his star In Mordor where the shadows are But long ago he rode away And where he dwelleth none can say; For into darkness fell his star In Mordor where the shadows are.

Absolutely gorgeous rendition of this song! If you (or anyone else) ever want to do another variant, may I suggest that rather than completely repeating the last verse three times, instead, the third time you pull the first two lines from the poem? So the last verse becomes this; Gil-Galad was an Elven-king Of him the harpers sadly sing: For into darkness fell his star In Mordor where the shadows are.
I've heard a few versions, but this one very excellently follows the meter which I believe Tolkien wrote in. I don't pretend to know the poetry field but I know that his original works used specific beats. Those that understand song writing will read his work and pick it out, match it to musical timing and hopefully, do as good a job as this band has done.
Just consider what this says about Lorien, Imladris and the Woodland Realm. Though literally read, Lorien and Thranduil's realm are not between the mountains and the sea. Alas poor Elrond.
I've said this before on other videos of this song: this is both one of the most tragic and one of the most uplifting songs I've ever heard (funnily enough, when I was typing this comment, I was mentally reading it in Sam's accent from the movies)
When i listen this song i remeber my wife, i love her too much, we’ll be together for all life, and in the end we’ll go live in Valinar for eternity together
when i hear this song, i remember my late husband, who died in battle, in war. he's probably in Valhalla today, his name was Lucas. i miss him so much. our children ask me about him every day, i say that he is with God.

The countless dreams she matters ... And she weaves Chants encounters of the deeds ... For in to Mordor fell a star ... And his spirit lingers on ... Never to accept the black spell ...

The betrayal of his kin ... Between the marches and the sea ... So he rode and ran away ... To dwell in shadows ... Corrupted to the veins ... It's a shame to find ... His spirit encased ... The craftsmanship wasn't to blame ... Every ring is pure art enchained ... Enchanted by the ways ... A black hand rose to blind the eye ... Moria the elves fell into despair ... For the fear of might ... Tortured and maimed ... Traverse to Rivendell up high ... To heal and care within the light ... Yes, Gil Galad was an Elven King ... Between the marches a battlefield to see ... Though bitter the fall the many lights of souls alike ... Answer sorrow's call if not betrayed by decay ... Carvings wave upon the way ... Hoping that corruption never found a shape ... In even-star, the tree that rose once deceived ... The land remained dead and dimmed in hollow ... Gil Galad was an Elven King ... Although the harpers sadly sing ... Between the marches and the sea ... The countless stars ... A rising feel ... Guide us home ... Towards the reels ...
@Giuseppe It was a creation of words which did not all took a rightful place ... But thanks I changed it today with some more rhymes ... I think I am gonna combine both lyrics to this thanks a lot ...

'Who was Gil-galad?' asked Merry; but Strider did not answer, and seemed to be lost in thought. Suddenly a low voice murmured:
Gil-galad nan Edhelchír
dim linnar i thelegain:
Im Belegaer a Hithaeglir
Aran ardh vethed vain a lain.
Gariel maegech Gil-galad,
Thôl palan-gennen, ann-vegil;
A giliath arnoediad
Tann thann dîn be genedril.
Dan io-anann os si gwannant
A mas, ú-bedir ithronath;
An gîl dîn na-dúath di-dhant,
vi Mordor, ennas caeda gwath.
Definitely one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
Gil-Galad was an Elven-king
Of him the harpers sadly sing:
The last whose realm was fair and free
Between the Mountains and the Sea
His sword was long, his lance was keen
His shining helm afar was seen;
The countless stars of heaven's field
Were mirrored in his silver shield
But long ago he rode away
And where he dwelleth none can say;
For into darkness fell his star
In Mordor where the shadows are
But long ago he rode away
And where he dwelleth none can say;
For into darkness fell his star
In Mordor where the shadows are
But long ago he rode away
And where he dwelleth none can say;
For into darkness fell his star
In Mordor where the shadows are.

I keep coming back to this version. Beautiful.
the song was much longer, but as Samwise said, I would not wish to hear the end.
Neither do i.
@@noldorwarrior7791 For one of the Elder Folk you should be ashamed of your statement.
Im aware. Forgive me. For the grief is still too near. Sam didnt want to hear the end. We witnessed the end. Plus the evil remained.
@@noldorwarrior7791 A fine reply. I bow to your reason.

"the last whose realm was fair and free, between the mountains and the sea"
tragic, and uplifting

This is a beautiful musical rendering of Tolkien's poem. I must check out this group further.
Why so short? That's all that JRRT wrote.
I think I prefer this version to the 2/3 others. Thank you for posting it.
Gil-Galad y Elendil derrotando a Sauron siempre ha sido mi momento favorito en toda la historia de la tierra media.
La segunda edad me parece la mas interesante.
As I remember Anois had an entire album to Tolkien songs but this is the only one they were given permission to issue.
A true and mystical work of art.
The countless dreams she matters ...
And she weaves
Chants encounters of the deeds ...
For in to Mordor fell a star ...
And his spirit lingers on ...
Never to accept the black spell ...
That Morgoth casts ...
So in our hearts ...
We spoke for prays ...
In hope he restores ...
To the sane ...
Every Elf ...
Sanctified this way
To look after one ...
And another to this day ...
This is the way
The Elves are made ...

The betrayal of his kin ...
Between the marches and the sea ...
So he rode and ran away ...
To dwell in shadows ...
Corrupted to the veins ...
It's a shame to find ...
His spirit encased ...
The craftsmanship wasn't to blame ...
Every ring is pure art enchained ...
Enchanted by the ways ...
A black hand rose to blind the eye ...
Moria the elves fell into despair ...
For the fear of might ...
Tortured and maimed ...
Traverse to Rivendell up high ...
To heal and care within the light ...
Yes, Gil Galad was an Elven King ...
Between the marches a battlefield to see ...
Though bitter the fall the many lights of souls alike ...
Answer sorrow's call if not betrayed by decay ...
Carvings wave upon the way ...
Hoping that corruption never found a shape ...
In even-star, the tree that rose once deceived ...
The land remained dead and dimmed in hollow ...

Mix - Heavy metal, first track. Why, yt, why? At least the rest of tracks are +- ok - Sabaton, Kamelot, Powerwolf
he wasn't an elven king, he was the last high king of the Noldor
Who are a type of elf.
Don't you think Tolkien knew better than you?
Noldor ELVES…the clue is in their name.
And what species are the Noldor?
