A/N: Whoo. Took me long enough, didn't it? I'm really sorry about that... I've actually had these two done (and beta-ed) for a while now and just never got around to putting them up. Heh. Ah well.
This particular one, La Kayim, was a nightmare to work on. I was pretty deffinite on who I wanted singing it... Merry and Pippin were my obvious choice there. But where and when went through a lot of changes. First it was in Hobbiton at the very end, then it was at Isengard when they were doing the guarding, then it was in Edoras, finally I settled it in Gondor, probably right between battles or something. Not sure where...
Let me know if you have any suggestions on how to make it better, spot any problems that need fixing, hate it, love it, read it, whatever.
And many thanks to Luth, who's still beta-ing me. And being generally harrassed about several things. She was a lot of help on this, even if I didn't use most of her ideas this time.

Disclaimer: Still not owning Fiddler or Rings, me. Sorry.

Merry:
"Here's to our prosperity, our good health and happiness, and most important…"

Both:
To life, to life, and pipeweed,
To pipeweed, to ale, to life,

Merry:
Here's to the things we'll never see,

Pippin:
Here's to what we've lived to see,

Both:
Drink good fortune, to life,
To life, to life,
To pipeweed, to ale, to life,

Merry:
Life has a way of confusing,

Pippin:
Blessing and bruising us,

Both:
Drink good fortune, to life!

Merry:
Eru would like us to be joyful, even when our hearts lie panting on the floor.

Pippin:
How much more can we be joyful, when there's really something to be joyful for?

Both:
To life, to life, and pipeweed,

Merry:
To Samwise, the gardener—

Pippin:
And cook!

Merry:
It gives you something to think about,

Pippin:
Something to drink about,

Both:
Drink good fortune, to life!

Pippin:
To Meriadoc—

Merry:
To Pippin!

Pippin:
To Frodo, your cousin—and mine!

Random Drunk Gondorians:
May all your futures be pleasant ones,
Not like our present ones,
Drink good fortune, to life,
To life, and pipeweed,
To pipeweed, to ale, to life,
It takes good ale to make us say,
"Let's live another day,"
Drink good fortune, to life!

Random Drunk Rohirrim:
We'll raise a glass and drink a drop of ale in honor of the great
Good luck that favors you,
We know that when good fortune favors two such hobbits, stands to reason,
We deserve it too!
To us and our good fortune!

All:
To us and our good fortune!
Be happy, be healthy, long life!
And if our good fortune never comes,
Here's to whatever comes,
Drink good fortune, to life!

Legolas and Gimli:
Valar bless you both, to your health and may we live together in peace!
May you both be favored with the futures of your choice,
May you live to see a thousand reasons to rejoice!

All:
We'll raise a glass and sip a drop of ale in honor of the great
Good luck that favors you,
We know that when good fortune favors two such hobbits, stands to reason,
We deserve it too!
To us and our good fortune!
Be happy, be healthy, long life!
And if our good fortune never comes,
Here's to whatever comes,
Drink good fortune, to life!
