'ORINOCCO FLOW'
ResponderEliminarLet the orinoco flow
Let me reach
Let me beach on the shores of tripoli
Let me sail, let me sail
Let me crash upon your shore
Let me reach
Let me beach far beyond the yellow sea
Sail away,sail away,sail away,
Sail away,sail away,sail away,
Sail away,sail away,sail away
From bisau to palau
In the shade of avalon
From fiji to tiree
And isles of ebony
From peru to cebu
Hear the power of babylon
From bali to cali
Far beneath the coral sea
From the north to the south
Ebudae into khartoum
From the deep sea of clouds
To the island of the moon
Carry me on the waves
In the lands i´ve never been
Carry me on the waves
In the lands i´ve never seen
We can sail,we can sail
With the orinoco flow
We can sail,we can sail
Sail away,sail away,sail away
We can steer we can near
With rob dickens at the wheel
We can sigh
Say goodbye ross and his dependencies
We can sail,we can sail
Sail away,sail away,sail away
We can sail we can sail

BOOK OF DAYS
ResponderEliminarOne day, one night, one moment
my dreams could be tomorrow.
one step, one fall, one falter,
east or west,
over earth or by ocean:
one way to be my journey,
this way could be my book of days.
Ó lá go lá, mo thuras,
an bealach fada romham.
ó oíche go hoíche, mo thuras,
na scéalta na mbeidh a choích'.
Ahh.
No day, no night, no moment
can hold me back from trying.
i'll fly, i'll fall, i'll falter:
i'll find my day may be far and away.
far and away
Vocals
One day, one night, one moment,
with a dream to be leaving.
one step, one fall, one falter,
and a new earth, across a wide ocean:
this way became my journey.
this day ends together, far and away.
This day ends together, far and away!
far and away!

ONLY TIME
ResponderEliminarWho can say where the road goes,
Where the day flows?
Only time...
And who can say if your love grows,
As your heart chose?
Only time...
(chants)
Who can say why your heart sighs,
As your love flies?
Only time...
And who can say why your heart cries,
When your love dies?
Only time...
(chants)
Who can say when the roads meet,
That love might be,
In your heart.
And who can say when the day sleeps,
If the night keeps all your heart?
Night keeps all your heart...
(extended chants)
Who can say if your love grows,
As your heart chose?
Only time...
And who can say where the road goes,
Where the day flows?
Only time...
Who knows?
Only time...
Who knows?
Only time...

WATER SHOWS THE HIDDEN HEART
ResponderEliminarFrom the City of Constellations
to the wanderer
and a Place of Rains
he journeys on...
...the City of hesitation and doubt
the Island of the house of the colour of the sea
the Plain of Mementoes
he journeys on to find his love...
...the Valley of lost time
the City of End and Endlessness
the Isle of Revenents
he journeys on...
...the City of Solitudes
the City of the distance from you
the City of Words of blue
and yellow and red and green
he journeys on to find his love...
...where the road takes him through
the City of Sleep
the thinking that does not end is within him
Then he dreams
the road takes him
this man who is searching
it brings him
in silence through the night
where the Cities that do not Exist, exist
It brings him
in silence through the night
close to the City of Realisations;
it is here one finds the way...
...Mount Orison
the City of Days
the Tree of the lost
he journeys on...
...north of his love
a road through a valley of darkness
the islands that are not of this world
he journeys on to find his love...
It is a long way through darkness
to the way of the eremite
the eremite sings of the world and of
the journey of love, which is not lost in eternity
...the Valley where the moon is caught in the trees
water shows the hidden heart
endlong into midnight
he journeys on...
...the parable of day
the Room of Books
where the winds come to him and say..
ANYWHERE IS
ResponderEliminarI walk the maze of moments
but everywhere i turn to begins a new beginning
but never finds a finish
i walk to the horizon
and there i find another
it all seems so surprising
and then i find that i know
Chorus:
you go there you're gone forever
i go there i'll lose my way
if we stay here we're not together
anywhere is
The moon upon the ocean
is swept around in motion
but without ever knowing
the reason for its flowing
in motion on the ocean
the moon still keeps on moving
the waves still keep on waving
and i still keep on going
Chorus
I wonder if the stars sign
the life that is to be mine
and would they let their light shine
enough for me to follow
i look up to the heavens
but night has clouded over
no spark of constellation
no vela no orion
The shells upon the warm sands
have taken from their own lands
the echo of their story
but all i hear are low sounds
as pillow words are weaving
and willow waves are leaving
but should i be believing
that i am only dreaming
Chorus
To leave the thread of all time
and let it make a dark line
in hopes that i can still find
the way back to the moment
i took the turn and turned to
begin a new beginning
still looking for the answer
i cannot find the finish
it's either this or that way
it's one way or the other
it should be one direction
it could be on reflection
the turn i have just taken
the turn that i was making
i might be just beginning
i might be near the end.
CURSUM PERFICIO
ResponderEliminarCursum perficio. I am making an end to my course.
Verbum sapienti: A word to the wise:
quo plus habent, the more [people] have
eo plus cupiunt. the more they want.

Iternum Over and over again (2)
AMARANTINE
ResponderEliminarYou know when you give your love away
it opens your heart,
everything is new.
And you know time will always find a way
to let your heart believe it's true.
You know love is everything you say;
a whisper, a word,
promises you give
You feel it in the heartbeat of the day.
You know this is the way love is.
Chorus
Amarantine...
Amarantine...
Amarantine...
Love is
Love is
Love...
You know love may sometimes make you cry,
so let the tears go
they will flow away,
for you know love will always let you fly
how far a heart can fly away.
Chorus
You know when love's shining in your eyes
it may be the stars
fallen from above.
And you know love is with you when you rise,
for night and day belong to love.
ALDEBARAN
ResponderEliminarAldebaran
(dedicated to ridley scott)
Codladh fada long sleep
Codladh domhain deep sleep
Éirigh! amharc síos rise! look down
Aldebaran. aldebaran. (1)
Siúl liom trí an réalta dearg. walk with me
Through the red stars
Deireadh, deireadh an turas the end, end of the journey
Réaltóg, réaltóg dearg. star, red star
The red giant star, aldebaran,
Found in the constellation of taurus,
Is the eye of the bull.
From the arabic, al dabaran,
It means 'the follower' as it follows the pleiades.
(from the liner notes on the re-release of _the celts_)
TRAINS AND WINTER RAINS
ResponderEliminarCity streets passing by
underneath stormy skies
Neon signs in the night
Red and blue, city lights
Cargo trains rolling by
Once again someone cries...
Trains and Winter Rains
No going back, no going home
Trains across the plains
And in the sky a star alone
Everytime is the same
One more night one more train
Everywhere empty roads
Where they go no one knows
WATERMARK
ResponderEliminarWatermark (with translation)
Cursum perficio
cursum perficio. i am making an end to my course.
verbum sapienti: a word to the wise:
quo plus habent, the more [people] have
eo plus cupiunt. the more they want.
post nubila, phoebus after the clouds, phoebus (1)
iternum over and over again (2)
Phoebus was one of the names for the sun god,
Which may be more famous as apollo (greek).
It is notable that the sun is a male.
The word 'iternum' does not exist;
It could either be a misspelling for 'eternum' (eternal),
Which is unlikely since it is very rare that an adjective
Be used as an adverb, or for 'iterum' (again and again)
Which is in fact an adverb and makes a little more sense (!!).
The meaning of 'cursum perficio' is actually best explained
By the footnote to the lyrics:
Enya was inspired by these words she saw on marylin monroe's
Last house, where they were taken to mean my journey ends here.
It is a rather free translation, but it's probably a very good
Way to convey the meaning of latin, which has a way of saying
Things that is very distant from modern-day english.
The fact that those words turned out to be prophetical only
Adds to the power of the song.
A DAY WITHOUT RAIN

MAY IT BE
ResponderEliminarMay it be an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh! How far you are from home
Mornië utúlië (Quenya: Darkness has come) [1]
Believe and you will find your way
Mornië alantië (Quenya: Darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now
May it be the shadow's call
Will fly away
May it be your journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun
Mornië utúlië (Quenya: Darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornië alantië (Quenya: Darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now
A promise lives within you now
