Celtic Woman was recorded on September 15, 2004 for PBS Television in The United States at The Helix, Dublin to a sell-out audience. The show was organized by show producer Sharone Browne and musical director and composer David Downes, and produced by Dave Kavanagh. The show was first broadcast in March 2005 in The United States and within weeks the album Celtic Woman reached number one in the World Music charts in America and on Amazon.com charts. Their huge success in Asia and in America has been credited to the already successful megastar Enya and has been called "Riverdance for the Voice". As of July 22, 2006 the group has broken a long standing record in the music business. Their CD has been at the #1 position on the Billboard charts for an amazing 68 weeks.
On October 19th of that year, Celtic Woman was knocked off its No.1 spot on Billboard's World Music Charts, which it had maintained for 82 weeks, by Celtic Woman: A Christmas Celebration. This put the groups' 2 CDs at Nos. 1 and 2 respectively. Since then, Lisa Lambe has left the group to pursue a solo career.
Princess Toyotomi
Celtic Woman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So silently kept inside our hearts so deeply
Time went by, never changed and stayed inside us
So preciously, carrying all the love for you
No one ever would say a word 'bout the story we know
No one ever would tell the truth, the secret we know
Our long-cherished dream
Holding you soul so gratefully, living with faith in you and love
To save our home, to save our beautiful our dearest one that we love
Our frecious Princess so devine
Time went by, never changed and stayed inside us
So preciously, carrying all the love for you
No one ever would say a word 'bout the story we know
Never let the legend vanish
No one ever would tell the truth, the secret we know
Our long-cherished dream
Holding you soul so gratefully, living with faith in you and love
To save our home, to save our beautiful our dearest one that we love
Feeling your soul somewhere so close, feeling the bound with you and us
Someday we'll see how much you mean to us our dearest one in this world
Our precious Princess so divine

Lisa Kelly has a distinct voice, Chloe Agnes and Lisa Lambe have great voices and these three compliment each other so well. Celtic woman have changed the way I listen to music.

'this song wasn't on the Believe CD. I have the extended version and it's not on that one either. Where can I get this song?

Beverly Krebs This is on the Japanese edition of Believe. Since the movie never got a Western release, the producers probably felt it wasn't worth including on the album.
