The first lyrics are this passage from the song Äijö by Värttinä:
Screamed in the woods alone at night
Screamed in the woods hot coals on his hands
Smoking palms shoes in the woods
At night alone, tired old man
The original Finnish:
Rääkyi männikössä yöllä yksinänsä
Rääkyi männikössä kekäleet käessä
Kämmenet käryssä kengät kankahalla
Yöllä yksinänsä, äijä väsyksissä

Considering the theme of the song, and the influence of Finnish on Quenya, I thought it was appropriate to use it. The other Elvish is translated in-text, and my good friend Fairy (ravenditefairylights) was an amazing help with that.
Amelie is a collaborative oc between me, Fairy and Opal, so I decided I absolutely had to use her here (although I may have tweaked her backstory and her relationship to Daeron and Maglor ever-so-slightly.)
