'May It Be' is a song by Irish recording artist Enya. It was composed by Enya and Roma Ryan the 2001 film The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
The lyrics of this theme song include English words, as well as words in the fictional Elvish language, Quenya, created by JRR Tolkien
There are two lines with phrases written in Quenya. The first, Mornië utúlië, translates to 'Darkness has come.' Mornië alantië translates as 'Darkness has fallen.' Each line repeats twice in the song, with the remaining song lyrics written in English. They are intermingled with the Quenya lyrics, as in the second stanza; "Mornië utúlië, believe and you will find your way; Mornië alantië, a promise lives within you now."
May it be an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh, how far you are from home
Mornië utúlië
Believe and you will find your way
Mornië alantië
A promise lives within you now
May it be the shadow's call
Will fly away
May it be your journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun
