We stood, steady as the stars in the woods

So happy-hearted, and the warmth rang true inside these bones

And as the old pine fell we sang just to bless the morning

An .abc arrangement for Lord of the Rings Online of “¡Ay! Linda amiga/Oh! Beautiful beloved”, a 16th century Spanish madrigal of unknown authorship. You can download my AyLindaAmiga-SoloHarp-v1.abc file from Google Drive!

My version draws on a lot of other versions for ideas, from Annwn’s to this one posted by João Soares, but especially Jerry Silverman’s arrangement for guitar, which you can buy sheet music of here.

I was long ago inspired (by @celithir’s story, in fact​) to attempt to make this into an ABC but struggled for a looong time to get it sounding nice for LotRO. I think I’ve finally cracked it…! The preview is recorded in-game on the Basic Harp and is specifically arranged for that instrument, but it’s not bad on Misty Mountains Harp and Lute of Ages (try it and see how you like it).

You can find the original lyrics on sites like LyricsTranslate; my first pass an English version for Elves and/or Dwarves to sing is below the cut:

“The night gardener once asked me if I knew how citrus trees died: when they reach old age, if they are not cut down and they manage to survive drought, disease and innumerable attacks of pests, fungi and plagues, they succumb from overabundance. When they come to the end of their life cycle, they put out a final, massive crop of lemons. In their last spring their flowers bud and blossom in enormous bunches and fill the air with a smell so sweet that it stings your nostrils from two blocks away; then their fruits ripen all at once, whole limbs break off due to their excessive weight, and after a few weeks the ground is covered with rotting lemons. It is a strange sight, he said, to see such exuberance before death.”
