Son of a Ranger Man - sung by Arwen
Aragorn was a Ranger's son,
And when his travels led northward to Lórien,
After Gran and Granddad finished talking
I met Aragorn while walking,
On a green hill we went walking
And he looked into my eyes –
I ne'er was so surprised.
The only one who could e'er convince me,
Was the son of a ranger man,
The only one who could "I'm your prince" me,
Was the son of a ranger man,
Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was.
Elvish life isn't always easy –
You know that my mama died –
Then he started complimenting me,
He said I was Lúthien of twilight,
He looked at me like a star in the twilight.
Could I bear to lose him from my sight?
The only one who could e'er convince me,
Was the son of a ranger man,
The only one who could "I'm your prince" me,
Was the son of a ranger man,
Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was.
And I still remember
The love that was in his eyes,
Stealing glances at me, and his sighs,
Though his time and my time
Are of different rates and climes,
Yet we found ourselves soon knowing
Silently love for us had grown.
The only one who could e'er convince me,
Was the son of a ranger man,
The only one who could "I'm your prince" me,
Was the son of a ranger man,
Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was.
The only one who could e'er convince me,
Was the son of a ranger man,
The only one who could "I'm your prince" me,
Was the son of a ranger man.
The only one who could e'er convince me,
Was the son of a ranger man,
The only one who could "I'm your prince" me,
Was the son of a ranger man.
