Noh'a Vahl (Guardian's Rest)

[Intro (Opening Invocation)] Noh'a vahl, Miqo'te. Lahz'a tia, vahl'a noh. El'thra sa aether, thi'ren mi vahl. Na'she thal, sha vahl'ei lor. [Translation/Eorzean 'Basic': Sleep now, Miqo'te child. || Gentle moon, cradle this soul. || Light of aether, brighten your dreams. || Moon’s embrace, soft beams of peace.] --- [Verse 1] Mi'rha noh, tsa'il ehl. Thae'sha vahl, tsa'nah el'sa. Luri na star'el, she'ta nei. Thae'len ri, noh vahl el’nai. [Translation/Eorzean 'Basic': Sleep, my child, sound and secure. || Spirits gather in quiet vigil. || Stars above shine ever bright. || They will guard you through the night.] --- [Verse 2] Thae'sa Mi’rehn, ni'lei shan. Eth'na vahl, tsa'el il’nash. Tsa'na ri, ael na shan. Sha’rhena el luri tsa'vahl. [Translation/Eorzean 'Basic': The Mi’rehn sings, whispering low. || Let it awaken within your soul. || In ancient woods, shadows lean. || Beneath their shelter you shall rest.] --- [Guardian Verse] Tsa’len sha vahl, tsa'nah il shae, Rhyvea il sha'luri, thae’na nei. Wi’nel ohm, shan’i lor… Iltsa vahl, miq sha ael tor. [Translation/Eorzean 'Basic': Spirits of the wood, rest near this child || Sacred guardians, always watching || Wind and light, gently sing || Shield this soul as they dream.] --- [Chorus] Mi’rha noh, tsa’il ehl. Tsa'na luri, thae’nai shae. Star'el il'she, shan’ei lor. Thae'len ri, noh vahl el’nai. [Translation/Eorzean 'Basic': Sleep, my child, secure and sound. || Sacred spirits sing around you. || Stars alight with gleaming warmth. || They will keep you through the night.] --- [Closing Invocation] Noh'a vahl, Miqo'te. Lahz'a tia, vahl'a noh. El'thra sa aether, il'ri vahl. Na'she thal, sha vahl'ei lor… [Translation/Eorzean 'Basic': Sleep now, Miqo'te child. || Gentle moon, cradle this soul. || Aether's light, guide your visions. || Moon’s embrace, soft beams of peace.] ----- [Production Note: In Ezra’s culture, the Echo is known by three layered terms. “Mi’rehn” is the gentle, familial name—sung in lullabies, used in tender comfort. “Sha’vel” is sacred, reserved for ritual, spoken by seers and bards in reverence. Rarest of all is “Vhal’rehn”—a name of quiet power and legacy. It refers to those chosen to witness and interpret the aetheric echoes of the star: souls like Ezra and Minfilia, gifted with ‘the Sight’ to glimpse memory, fate, and resonance. It is a name not given lightly, and never spoken without weight.]
