Translation: "Passed Away"

One of my guilty pleasures (as a metal head, at least) is Enya, and I've long been an admirer of how she writes songs in different languages. It kind of inspired me to try my own hand at writing a song in a language that's not my own. I chose latin (again, influenced by Enya) and my ally was Google Translate. Unfortunately, I've lost the original English I used for the translation so it looks a little odd when translated back! Hopefully you can still understand the emotion behind the lyrics (I've included the English translation back from the original).

EMMORTUUS

Lunae clara est, hac nocte	...	The moon, clear is, this very night,
Obumbratio ruinam	...	Shadows fall
Cor meum et exspiravit	...	My heart and a ghost
Hoc Somnium est autem in	...	This is a dream
...	...	...
Et cecidi ad exitium	...	He fell into ruin
Maledicto odium	...	The curse of hatred
Non potui nisi eam	...	I could not save it
Et non valuerunt	...	They did not prevail
...	...	...
Noctis frigore hieme venti	...	Cold winter night wind
Ipsa enim vox tua	...	It carries your voice
Lacrimis ego audiam	...	I hear tears
Et pro nobis clamare	...	And for us to cry
...	...	...
Et cecidi ad exitium	...	He fell into ruin
Maledicto odium	...	The curse of hatred
Non potui nisi eam	...	I could not save it
Et non valuerunt	...	They did not prevail
...	...	...

INSTRUMENTAL

...	...	...
Et luna, ridentem miserabile	...	The moon smiling sadly
Te tam desidero	...	I miss you so much
Et hoc sana vulnus nunquam	...	This wound will never heal
Si te sequor?	...	If you follow?
...	...	...
Et cecidi ad exitium	...	He fell into ruin
Maledicto odium	...	The curse of hatred
Non salvabit me	...	For safety
Et non valuerunt	...	They did not prevail

Actually... the original English lyrics were on page two of my Word doc! Here's the original English:

The moon is bright tonight
Shadows fall
My heart is with a ghost
The dream is over now

She fell to ruin
By the curse of his hate
I could not save her
I was not strong enough

The winter wind blows cold tonight
It carries your voice
I hear tears
And I cry for us

She fell to ruin
By the curse of his hate
I could not save her
I was not strong enough

The moon smiles sadly
I miss you so much
This wound will never heal
Should I follow you?

You fell to ruin
By the curse of his hate
I could not save you
I was not strong enough
