Storms in Africa
Enya Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cá fhad é ó
Siúl tríd na stoirmeacha
Dul tríd na stoirmeacha
Cá fhad é ó
an tús don stoirm
Cá fhad é ó
an tús go deireadh
Tóg do Chroí
Siúl tríd na stoirmeacha
Tóg do chroísa
Dul tríd na stoirmeacha
Turas mór
Tor tríd na Stoirmeacha
Turas fada
Amharc tríd na Stoirmeacha
The lyrics to Enya's song "Storms in Africa" describe a journey through a stormy landscape that serves as a metaphor for a journey of the heart. The opening lines, "Cá fhad é ó/Cá fhad é ó/Siúl tríd na stoirmeacha/Dul tríd na stoirmeacha" ("How far is it?/ How far is it?/ Walk through the storms/ Going through the storms") imply a sense of uncertainty and the need for endurance. The following lines, "Cá fhad é ó/an tús don stoirm/Cá fhad é ó/an tús go deireadh" ("How far is it?/ The beginning of the storm/ How far is it?/From beginning to end"), reinforce this notion of a long and difficult journey.
The chorus, "Tóg do Chroí/Siúl tríd na stoirmeacha/Tóg do chroísa/Dul tríd na stoirmeacha" ("Take your heart/ Walk through the storms/ Take your heart/ Going through the storms"), suggests that the journey through the storms is essentially a journey of the heart, and that it requires courage and emotional fortitude. The final two lines, "Turas mór/Tor tríd na Stoirmeacha/Turas fada/Amharc tríd na Stoirmeacha" ("Big trip/Going through the storms/Long journey/Look through the storms"), reinforce the idea of a difficult but potentially transformative journey.

Though I walk through
Warm sands in Africa
Winds will grow soon
To storms in Africa.
How far to go
I cannot say.
How many more
Will journey this way?
Dark skies fall on
Black earth and ivory.
Far from your sun
Clouds now close over me.
How far to go
I cannot say.
How many more
Will journey this way?
Storms have come!
Rains wash the earth away
Dark skies fall down
Into another day.
Rains have now come
From storms in Africa
Time will go on
Through Storms in Africa

Her sound and vision is a dream- it’s like you’re being taken to another world and it almost always gives you a feeling of relief

There are no artists whose music and style I truly say are in a class of their very own. Enya is the exception. Her music and her essence is etheral, calming, peaceful like none Ive ever heard or seen. Ever.
