Eudulikn Laka Nilt\I Dreamt a Dream, Silver Maiden

Intense and emotional piano, this long swooping song, was written in two language’s. At the beginning of the notes and vocals, it is sung in Eld Vintic, an extinct ancient dialect that was once spoken by a race that no longer exists in Tearmint, that once had populated the Eld woodlands. Though the language itself is no more, this song has survived many centuries through history, keeping its true shape. Normally it is sung in good buttered Aturan, but the druidic speak has still decided to stay between the tree’s and the dreamless sleep. It is unknown who originally wrote the song, but it is one of the oldest songs that still make the rounds around taverns and inns, given that very few people can speak Eld Vintic poetry or read their elder songs and sayings. The second half of the song is what it means in Aturna. Regardless there is very little variation in meaning or difference in both languages for this specific song, other than the difference in medley and voice. This means the song can played differently in many ways but still holds its main theme. Fiery and powerful, it tells the simple story of a young woman who had fallen asleep by a summery lake. While in deep slumber, the lady dreams of meeting a comely man and they begin to romantically dance in a ballroom. During this, she imagines fine furs and red silk, sweet drinks and warm pillows. The dream brings the woman so much love and joy she refuses to not be disturbed or awoken. Vivid and sweet, the man tells her, he loves her and wants to be with her, as the ballroom shifts to a moonlit mossy garden. This makes the woman’s heart swell and finally feels she has found true love. But once she awakes at the lake and finds the man is not there, she weeps.
