== Lyrics ==
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
Mornie utúlië (darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantië (darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now
May it be the shadows call
Will fly away
May it be you journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun
Mornie utúlië (darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantië (darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now
A promise lives within you now
=== Quenya translation of the song ===
(By Quetanto/Pedan)
Nai el andúnëo
Síla lyello
Nai as lanta mornië
Enda voronda
Eressëa tië
Nalyë haira marallo
Mornië utúlië
Á sávë ar hiruvalyë tiëlya
Mornië alantië
Vanda sí coiviës lyenen
Nai i yello lëollo
Autava lië
Nai lendályë pona
Auré a calima
Ya turunelyë lómë
Ecë lyë ortë hirë úr
Mornië utúlië
Á savë ar hiruvalyë tielya
Mornië alantië
Vanda sí coivies lyenen
