A song of welcome (Aya Findekano) by Himring
Fanwork Notes
Now with illustration!
Bunn has done a wonderful painting of this scene, which I'm linking with her permission: http://bunn.livejournal.com/532642.html
This song came about as I was mulling over a prompt of Amy Fortuna's concerning Rian.
Unfortunately, it doesn't really fit that prompt.
There are bits of Quenya in here, but for some reason Rian gets away with it, despite Thingol's Ban.
(That is, some popular bits of Elvish known from The Lord of the Rings and Fingon's Quenya name.)

A song made by Rian to welcome Fingon on his visit to Hurin at Nen Lalaith:
My lord Fingon came riding over the bridge.
Aya Findekano!
Lord Fingon came riding over the bridge,
clad all in white and silver.
My lord Fingon came riding over the bridge.
Aya Findekano!
Lord Fingon came riding over the bridge,
clad all in white and silver,
and his knights followed him, one by one.
My lord Fingon came riding over the bridge.
Aya Findekano!
Alight, my lord, and stay a while.
Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo!
My lord Fingon came riding over the bridge.
Aya Findekano!
So, welcome one and welcome all!
Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo.
Chapter End Notes
The visit to Hurin or--a visit to Hurin, at any rate--is alluded to in several stories of my Gloom cycle, but not fully described.
In fact, Fingon is accompanied by Maedhros. They discuss the visit briefly, after the event, in "View from the Top".
