GALATHIL MÉLAWEN CALANOR
(Jealousy Unto Regret)

I finally got the music out of my head after 20 years and, with the help of Carter Parker (Simbi) a musician and student in Kentucky, into chords and music.  This is Carter performing.  This is only the first verse and chorus.  The 5th verse is a bit different and the crescendo is a huge screaming thing (in my head). I picture that marvelous singer from Disturbed singing this and crescendoing the way he did in Sound of Silence.

Thanks for listening. I'd love your feedback!

v. 1
How came to be this woeful end,
Past years unnumbered, kin and friend?
Tis true my love grew jealousy;
My brother's love was given thee.

Yet all was covered, reason stood.
I'd fain to lose ye both in blood.
I loved him, kin and brother both.
I loved ye, sworn to me in troth.

Chorus:
Ooo ooo ooo
Every day and all through the night
I miss you.

Ooo ooo oo
Every night and all
Through the day 
I miss
you.

v2.
We journeyed far, adventurers,
For coin, and sport, three wanderers.
Long years upon the road we knew.
My love, and his, was kept for you.

What callous look, what wicked word,
What spells o'ercame us all, unheard,
That led us to that craven hour
When lust or jealousy took power.

chorus

v3
From love to jealousy to rage --
Tis too late to turn back the page.
Too late! Too late! my soul laments.
The blood is shed, the sword repents.

Fair love and brother, both are lost.
One wanderer must pay the cost.
Doomed forever to regret;
Doomed indeed, to ne’er forget.

v5 (similar melody, different cadence)

At dawn, your eyes so golden fair.
At dusk, the fire of your hair.
In sun, his smile, warm and sure.
In rain, this pain I must endure.

I long for sweet oblivion,
To die and leave this pain I'm in.
Yet hell awaits me, worse than here
Where still my memory haunts, I fear.

Oh shame! Oh crime! Oh jealousy!
To kill two loves most dear to me.
