    Default I Move On - from "Sintel" (Short Movie) - performed by Helena Fix

    Hey .. first post

    I have just watched "Sintel" from the Durian Open Movie Project... (and i like it).
    (Youtube version, 1080p available)

    I especially LOVE the Soundtrack (at the end of the film and during the Credits). It seems to be called "I Move On (Sintel's Song)", composed by Jan Morgenstern and performed by Helena Fix.

    I´ve dumped the audio, cut out the song and have been listening to it for the last 2 hours or so (it´s an open movie, made with free and open software, and downloadable by anyone, so i hope i´m not infringing any copy"right") ... and now i´m trying to figure out the lyrics.
    Which brought me here.

    What i have so far is pretty much everything but the very last line. That´s inacceptable and annoying, as you can imagine

    I recommend you watch the film anyway. But if you can't/don't want to, here's the song (noise in the first 10 secs is from film):

    Here is what i have transcribed so far. If you find any mistakes, please let me know. And of course, most important, i need someone to figure out the last line for me, just after what i´ve posted:

    I have been waiting all this time
    For one to wake me, one to call mine
    So when you´re near, all that you hold dear
    Do you fear what you will find?

    As the dawn breaks through the night
    I move on forever longing for the home
    I found in your eyes.

    I will be listening for the drum
    To call me over, far away from
    My tender youth and the very truth
    Showing me what i´ve become.

    As the dawn breaks through the night
    I move on forever longing for the home
    I found in your eyes
    -- MISSING LINE --
    I´m german, and thus not naturally the best choice for transcribing english songs. So again: Found any Mistakes? Tell me! Know the last line? TELL ME!

    Many Thanks in advance for helpful posts!

    I think somene else just figured it out (you know who you are, thanks a lot!).

    The last line could be:
    "Your voice saw me through the night"

    Also, at the beginning, i´m not sure whether she´s singing "journey into night" or "journey into light". Light would make a little more sense, considering she mentions breaking dawn and stuff.

    And the "Showing me what i´ve become" should read "Showing me what i become".

    Yeh, that makes this thread obsolete. Can be closed or forgotten

    I just got a message from the Writer of this Song, Esther Wouda!
    The lyrics were almost correct, here is the final version:

    To call me over, far away from
    My tender youth and the very truth
    Showing me what i've become.

    As the dawn breaks through the night
    I move on forever longing for the home
    I found in your eyes
    Your voice saw me through the night.
    Thanks

    It's so cool the writer himself delivered the lyrics!.

    With the official lyrics now I am singing this fully outloud for my neighbors to bear .

    By the way, the complete soundtrack can be downloaded from the film's official site, apparently since October 20th. Here's the link: http://www.sintel.org/news/complete-...-for-download/
