Falling Slowly in Dragon Age Elven, Felas Shiral (Solas X Lavellan)
Patrick Weekes said he listened to this song in it's original form when writing Solas, so.....
"Falling Slowly" ~Glen Hansard (Original lyrics below elvhen translation)
Ar tel'dirth ma (I don’t know you)
Ara isala (But I need you)
Da sa melana (All the time (literally “all more time”))
Ar tel’dirthera (I can’t speak)
Ar tel’dirthara (I know nothing)
Ar tel’aravas (I can’t move (*I cannot journey))
Theneras tel’viran (Dreams lead nowhere)
Harel banal’ras (Tricks are shadows)
La halam nadas (And ending is inevitable)
[Chorus:]
Ma aravel ghilan var’elvhenan (Your ship goes to our home)
Var sa’melana (We have more time)
Iras mala renan sulahn’nehn (Where your voice rejoices)
Melana sahlin (The time has come)
Felas Shiral, Inan dirth’ma (Slow journey, eyes know me)
La Ir tel’hamin (And I will not rest)
Lath arla ma, Ir enfenim (Love traps me, I’m afraid)
Ma vhenan; Ir dor (My heart; I am grey)
Ma numin uth melava (You have cried long enough)
Tel’hanin na’din (No glory in death)
Melana ensalin (Time for victory)
[Chorus:]
Ma aravel ghilan var’elvhenan (Your ship goes to our home)
Var sa’melana (We have more time)
Iras mala renan sulahn’nehn (Where your voice rejoices)
Melana sahlin (The time has come)
Felas Shiral, sulahn somniar (Slow journey, sing your dream)
Ar sulahn solas (I will sing proud)
Sahlin ma bora (Now you’re gone)
I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out
[Chorus:]
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice
You'll make it now
Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won
[Chorus:]
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing it loud
