Erutan Lyrics

Asha're, Asha're
Leyashnu, bela'thil

Asha're, Asha, re

Lei'alas Teldrassil
Lei'alas anu, bela'thil
The lyrics of Erutan's "Temple of the Moon" is in a form of a chant, and it pays homage to the Kal'dorei or the Night Elves and their devotion to Elune, their goddess of the moon. The first set of phrases, "Kal'dorei, Kal'dorei" and "Asha're, Asha're," are repetitive and serve as an introduction to the chant. The word "Kal'dorei" means "Children of the Stars" and "Asha're" means "Protectors of Life." These phrases represent the Night Elves' identity and their sense of duty to protect life.
The second set of phrases, "Leyashnu, bela'thil" and "Lei'alah, Darnassus, bela'thil," further emphasize the Night Elves' loyalty to their home and their reverence to Elune, respectively. "Leyashnu" means "We serve," and "Lei'alah" means "We honor." "Darnassus" is the capital city of the Night Elves, and it serves as a manifestation of their faith in Elune. The last set of phrases, "Lei'alas Teldrassil" and "Lei'alas anu, bela'thil," roughly translates to "Hail Teldrassil" and "Hail to us," respectively. Teldrassil is a giant tree that serves as the home of the Night Elves, and they believe that it is a reflection of Elune's power and wisdom.

Before the play list ended I fell ofcourse in a deep calm sleep. And ofcourse my laptop does too after the play list.
