Now I leave for shores unknown
With my kin, to seek my fate
I know now I can never return
Save by fatal mischance
My dear sister is my side, so tall and strong
She is of like mind to the Fire Spirit's sons
Fingolfin's eldest has his own reasons for leaving
Surely one is to follow his dearest friend
Even now I am not certain of my own motives
There is nothing for me in that desolate place
Least of all do I wish to leave the one I hold most dear
How I wish you would come, but I know you cannot
Nay, I place no blame on you, dear one
You do not belong in such a cold, barren wilderness
Stay here, in the land of bliss
Even if that bliss in now marred
Farewell, lady most dear and fair
I can feel you watching me from afar
Know that I will remain true to you
None shall fill the emptiness that you leave
Nor shall I fault you if you take another
One such as you should not be alone
I only ask of you one thing
Never forget the joy that we two shared.
