Enya Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The earth is singing in the wind,
The voices rise and touch the sky
Telling all the earth's believing,
And in the night skies fall down on me.
And when I move away from view
My voice is singing in the wind,
It rises up to touch the sky
Telling all that I believe in,
And from the night earth shall sing,
And from the night earth shall sing,
And from the night earth shall sing again.
[Adaptation]
Ba dheas an la go oiche
Na glortha binne I mo thaobh
'S aoibhneas I gachait gan gruaim
Athas are mo chroi go deo
He-a-ro
He-a-o-ro
Ma shilaim o na laetha beo
An ghrian 's an ghealach are mo chul
Nil uaim ach smaointe o mo shaoil
Deora are mo chroi go bron
He-a-ro
He-a-o-ro

How beautiful the day and night;
The beauty of the day and night is an awe-inspiring sight
The earth is singing in the wind,
The earth's melodious voice resonates in the wind
The voices rise and touch the sky
The harmonious voices ascend to meet the sky
Telling all the earth's believing,
Telling everyone what the earth truly believes in
And in the night skies fall down on me.
In the still of the night, stars and hope fall down on me
And when I move away from view
Even when I'm out of sight
My voice is singing in the wind,
My voice echoes and sings in the wind
It rises up to touch the sky
It ascends towards the heavens to make itself heard
Telling all that I believe in,
Expressing my true beliefs to all who listen
And from the night earth shall sing,
Even in the dark of night, the earth will continue to sing
And from the night earth shall sing again.
The earth's voice shall echoes into the night once again
