A mortal life
I will forgo the rights of my people
And live one lifetime
If I can live it with you
It is better to have burned brightly for a short time then to never have burned at all
I shall to live to see the leafs turn brown and fall to the forest floor
To my people human lives are but a twinkle in the night sky
Short and short lived
But this matters not to me in my heart
This is mine to give away
Like my heart
And freely I give all I am to you
cormamin glina tiri
my heart it gleams brightly

okay this is about an elf giving her immortal life to her lover and choosing to live as a mortal (very Arwen and Aragorn)
