Where did this child-Queen come from?
I look upon her with tender eyes,
And marvel that I fathered her.
My little white blossom, my jewel—

I look upon her with tender eyes,
And remember days long past,
My little white blossom, my jewel!
It seems but yesterday, even now.

When I remember days long past,
She was just a babe in my arms.
It seems but yesterday, even now,
That my Aglarwen birthed her.

She was just a babe in my arms,
Our Amdir standing by my side,
After Aglarwen birthed her,
Our heir met Nimloth first.

With Amdir standing by my side,
I greeted you, my daughter,
Amdir saw you first, Nimloth,
Ere the rest laid eyes upon you.

I welcomed you, my daughter,
Knowing you would one day be a bride.
Amdir felt deepest love for you,
Vowing to protect you with all his heart.

Knowing one day you would be a bride,
We watched and waited as you grew.
Amdir vowed to protect you with all his heart,
We knew he would never fail his promise.

We watched and waited as you grew,
But never would we have expected this joining!
Amdir never failed in his promise,
And now the Eluchil, your husband, will keep it.

Never did we expect this joining,
Bringing our line together with Uncle Elu.
The Eluchil, Dior, will keep Amdir’s promise.
May he defend you all the days of your life!

To join our line with Aran Thingol, Uncle Elu,
You followed the course of your heart.
May Dior defend you, as a husband ought!
Live in blessed happiness, daughter mine.

As you follow the course of your heart,
I marvel I, Galathil, fathered you.
May you live in happiness forever,
My Queen, my white blossom, my Nimloth.
