NO KIDDING. There's a reason I gave Luthien a literal 'you're moving too fast', even if she does walk it back right away.

Huh. Well, in that case I have no idea what's going on, because ThugBeren very clearly sings a couple more syllables than the text contains. I'm pretty sure he's turning those consonant Ys into 'ya's to do it, but have no clue why he would. (Except that, having grown up speaking Taliska and North Country Sindarin, he's got a bit of an accent... )

Thank you! I think I spotted most of it, but it can be hard to tell what's meant to rhyme. The Extended Libretto says that this song had a different author, which may explain why it's so different.

Beren aside, V2 Luthien kills it in this one. She may not have the hair, but her acting and singing are spot on.
