I could SWEAR the very first Titanic trailer I saw used Book of Days in the background. (But then, maybe it's that parts of the Titanic score do sound similar--especially "Southampton".)
Alyssa Santos: it *is* "I'll flag, I'll fall, I'll falter..." -- as a verb, "flag" means to lag, to lose momentum/force of action; hence, why it is followed by the words "fall" and "falter". Enya's Irish-Gaelic accent makes it so that a number of words she pronounces that are English sound like other words (this also occurs occasionally when she speaks in Latin, et al...). In this context, she's just affirming that although she'll "flag...", she'll still keep going, following whatever path destiny has in store for her... ;)
The song was already created and released. A newer, slightly longer version of the song with some English lyrics (_this_ version) was created for the movie. It has since become the only version available, with the original version of the song being rare.
"CH" in Gaelic is pronounced like a softer version of the German hard "ch" or the Spanish "j." But for the purposes of phonetic representation I'll spell it "kh." So here you go: Oh EE-khuh go EE-khuh mo HER-us nuh SHKEL-tuh nahkh MAY ah KHWEEKH.
can someone tell me how the lyrics are pronounced in english - o oiche go hoiche mo thuras na scealta nach mbeidh a choich - i'm having a great deal of difficulty understanding this
Okay Mina. Doing my best to write it out phonetically for you, so that you can pronounce it, something like this; O ee-ha go hee-ha maw hooras naa skelta nach may a hee - ach (the "ch" is pronounced in a "guttural" way - as you would pronounce it in the word "Loch" - a Lake that you would find in either Ireland or Scotland). Hope this helps!
I have always loved this song and thanks for the lyrics! I've always wondered what the words were where she says "Far And Away". Never would've been able to figure that out, it always sounded to me like they were saying "Our Underwear". When I asked other people they never could tell me either. So we started calling it the Underwear Song!
I listened to Enya growing, thanks to my dad who did. and omg lol I always thought the music was in a foreign English. Not all, like I knew Sail Away but the a handle of her songs I always thought were in an exotic language! It's her style of singing, beautifuL! Thank you dad for having awesome taste in music lol just one of many. Kenny G, Yanni...but I had to hear some Enya!
Ooooh... So that's the lyrics! I first heard this song during a musical Kata (it's like a dance, but with martial arts moves) and while I could sort of tell it was english, I couldn't concentrate hard enough to register the words because I got so caught up in the beauty of it all! Danke! 5*
@Animefan2232 that can now be easily done with Zamzar.com. it alows you to take the url of this vid and convert the music track to mp3 format which is then sent to your E-mail as a downloadable song that can be put on ur iPod. and best of all....Its free with no strings attached! go on, give it a try! i promise, you won't be disapointed!
Beautiful song

This is my favorite song of all time!
a special song! ;)
Listing to this while chopping up live hamsters and watching their decapitated bodies squirm under my overwhelming weight. Good times.
You know it.
I doubt it for using such song for twisted interests.
nice voice
this song proper touchs the soul!
Me too.
This was my parents wedding song
This was also my wedding song, in 1996. Perfect procession forl 1 ring bearer, 2 flower girls, then me.
Love this song!

This is a real great song
It was played during the closing credits of the movie, "Far and Away" (w/Nicole Kidman & Tom Cruise.)
think this song was prob made for that movie. since it came out the following year. just a guess. beautifull tune anyway!

schönes Lied.......lg an dich und ich drück dir die daumen! bin im herzen immer bei dir.
at peace when this song plays. Bliss
