[Intro]
He chanted a song of wizardry
Of piercing, opening, of treachery
Revealing, uncovering, betraying

[Verse 1]
Then sudden Felagund there swaying
Sang in answer a song of staying
Resisting, battling against power
Of secrets kept, strength like a tower
And trust unbroken, freedom, escape;
Of changing and shifting shape
Of snares eluded, broken traps
The prison opening, the chain that snaps

[Interlude]
Nai hiruvalyë Valimar
Nai elyë hiruva. Namárië!
Sí man i yulma nin enquantuva?
Sí vanwa ná, Rómello vanwa, Valimar!

[Verse 2]
Backwards and forwards swayed their song
Reeling and foundering, as evеr more strong
The chanting swellеd, Felagund fought
And all the magic and might he brought
Of Elvenesse into his words
Softly in the gloom they heard the birds
Singing afar in Nargothrond
The sighing of the Sea beyond
Beyond the western world, on sand
On sand of pearls on Elvenland
[Interlude]
Nai hiruvalyë Valimar
Rómello vanwa, Valimar!

[Verse 3]
Then the doom gathered; darkness growing
In Valinor, the red blood flowing
Beside the Sea, where the Noldor slew
The Foamriders and stealing drew
Their white ships with their white sails
From lamplit havens. The wind wails
The wolf howls, the ravens flee
The ice mutters in the mouths of the Sea

[Outro]
The captives sad in Angband mourn
Thunder rumbles, the fires burn-
And Finrod fell before the throne
