Oh, the sea, my sea, my dearest sea!
So wild, so free
Thine music is the best to me.
My heart rests at the side of thee
Contented and peacefully.
Oh, the sea, my sea, my dearest sea!
So free, deep
At night thine waves lull me to sleep.
Forgive me, please, my treacherous deeds
Done against those who dwelt beside thee.
Oh, the sea, my sea, my dearest sea!
So deep, so clear
I no longer rest so peacefully here.
I tell thee now my deepest fear:
That the end of my father's House draws near
Oh, the sea, my sea, my dearest sea!
Thine waves do sigh
And beside the now I openly cry.
For all but one of my brothers have died
And I fear his end soon draws nigh
Oh, the sea, my sea, my dearest sea!
Ulmo, master of water, lord of the sea!
Now, hear me, please
And answer my plea;
Of this Oath, this Curse, shall I ever be free?
Oh, the sea, my sea, my dearest sea!
So wild, so free
Thine music is still the best to me,
But my spirit wanders at the side of thee
Restless, now, and uneasily.
Beside the sea, my sea, my dearest sea.
I have been doomed to wander upon these shores
Unable to pass on to Valinor.
Tell me please Namo, my lord,
Have I been doomed to wander forevermore?
