May It Be Lyrics

As an LOTR fan, i'm impressed that it includes some lyrics in Tolkien's Elvish language, Quenya. Enya's lyricist had to study the language for writing the song. The Quenya language lyrics sound beautiful when Enya sings them. There should be more such songs. I think Tolkien designed the language to be well-suited for music and singing, and to be reflective of his Elves, who were written as inherently musical and having been created by song.
