Audiofile "In Uthenera"
Leliana sings this at camp after the Nature of the Beast quest.
Main article: Codex entry: In Uthenera

The lyrics are found in a book entitled "In Uthenera", which can be obtained by opening the chest next to Lanaya in the Dalish camp in the Brecilian Outskirts.

The elven version

hahren na melana sahlin
emma ir abelas
souver'inan isala hamin
vhenan him dor'felas
in uthenera na revas

vir sulahn'nehn
vir dirthera
vir samahl la numin
vir 'lath sa'vunin'

The translation, from the codex

elder your time is come
now I am filled with sorrow
weary eyes need resting
heart has become grey and slow
in waking sleep is freedom

we sing, rejoice
we tell the tales
we laugh and cry
we love one more day
