Literal Translation:
'Not the end [it] is the beginning.
Now it-is-necessary [that] don't-fall
If you don't-trust some-thing.'
'Not the end [it] is the beginning.'
'[It] is necessary don't that.'
'Trust this, trust this, trust
Trust this, trust love.'
You trust some-thing, trust this.'
A Nicer Translation:
This is not the end; it is the beginning.
You cannot falter now
If you don't trust something
This is not the end; it is the beginning
You cannot do that
Trust this, trust this, trust
Trust this, trust love
You trust something, trust this.

This is one of my favorite tracks on the album because of the wonderful harmonies. They seem decidedly "elvish" to me, these gentle choirs, and the low strings provide the melancholy, "wood-like" tone that also seem characteristic of elves. And as a flautist, I of course love the flute solo. Cheers to the soloist there -- low tones on a flute are awesome.
